... what does this even mean? how? lol
I don't even want to explain it. Somebody else will, I'm sure.
So it's an actual thing? :lol good thing I don't play with randoms, don't wanna get griefed.

...wot.
I guess this saves me the trouble of trying to get my city to self destruct.
i'm getting that same issue now...
a city of ~90k sims gone with the wind.

I hardly purchase DLC, nor do I ever pre-order. But I'm a fan of SimCity, so I thought why not.

My client is stuck on "checking for updates" again. Sigh.
1. go to another city
2. select parks
3. place them on residential areas
you now have reduced the population of this city.
I read a comment on reddit where it says this doesnt sync...

Mine just let me know servers are down (US East 1). I thought Eurpoeans were signing on, why is US East 1 down?
On a side note, hopefully I gave away all my resources successfully in Viridian Woods 3. I hit the bankrupt screen, but it was accompanied by the message above.
I'll restart my region after dinner. I learned that educating my sims is a necessary evil.
Have the game installed and ready to go and the only thing that I finished so far is the tutorial.
Do you think that it's a good time to jump in?
or
Should I wait for a potential patch or expansion that could alleviate some of the problems and limitations that I've been hearing about?

Beware.
Picked up my copy from EB Games,
That's the steel casebook, blah blah.
That is epic! I would of gotten all this but it would of been $35 more. Rather grab the DD upgrade for $20.

Yeah. I'm not getting this either... I have a bunch of industry that sprouts up and closes down, and a bunch of people without jobs... I guess the people are too highly educated for the jobs? But how do I make my industry take more highly-educated people?
edit: also, the sewage treatment creating new ground water tip sounds like a goddamn life-saver. Thanks for that! I'm going to put that in action as soon as I get a chance to log in.

Let me know how it goes. I was thinking about doing it. But I'm worried about the whole mac transfer crap. I dont want to buy the game twice, especially with these server issues.
It maybe a server issue load issue. As I said earlier I have a city of 10000 with no industry jobs supported by another one which is almost all industry.

If I liked Civ 5, will I like this? I've played Sim City before but the last was many years ago.
I watched a quicklook on GiantBomb and while the smaller cities focus is a little weird (since huge cities has been so prevalent in past games), I liked what I saw and the score is really fantastic. Really *different* music to what I was expecting.

But my industry and residential are in the same city
It shouldn't even need to contact the server to have them drive down the street to the jobs.But like I said, I think the issue is my workers are too highly educated for the jobs. I need to figure out how to make my industry more highly-educated.

Couldnt play mutch so far. Finished the tutorial and was trying my own city and then the server crashed again.
"Hi Mayors --If you get stuck on "CHECKING FOR UPDATES" you should delete all files in your User Data.
If you have a desktop shortcut you can right click the icon and select PROPERTIES then delete all files in the User Data folder.
If you launch through Origin go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityUserData and delete all files in the User Data folder.
Then run the game again and you should get past that screen.
Note: The recovery tool will not resolve this issue, so please use the directions above."

Tried it twice. Doesn't work for me. Same status.
Mine works, it updated game scripts when i started the client after and I was able to select a server :x
Same.
You have to work on increasing the density of the zones you already have with parks and stuff
You either have to increase the density or provide residential in a connected region. Density increases take a bit of time so it'd be easier to just start a connected plot and build a heap of residential and not much else.
UserData has 1.8 gigs for me though?
Should I delete just the files and not the folders?

It's because it's a lie.
You can also get stuck on that screen if the servers are down. Trust me, I'm a launch day sucker.
Worked but now I'm infinitely loading my city. At least I get to see all the loading screen tips this way I suppose.

30 Minutes queue, FUCK YEAH!!!!
I just read the comments. 300 plus people have given it 1 star and man this is not good for EA. They should never have required online connections for a game with many veteran fans, whom never wanted to play online to begin with.
Same here. I have industry, power, garbage, sewage, etc. in one city and residential and commercial only in another. It's been tricky to get them to commute, but so far so good.
Still trying to get the middle area to sprout some high rise stuff...

To be fair, your city looks REALLY small :lol how many people is that? 15k? less probably?
