Support NeoGAF

[LiquidMetal14]

If only there was a way to prevent everyone downloading at once...

That will be on the EA twitter next, "Please advise your friends to stop trying to log in to download Sim City™".

They should have done pre-loading, this is awful.

No excuse not to dish out keys early to get this shit ready.

 

[OchreHand]

Hmm.. I managed to download and it went really fast (New York here)

Now it says installing. Could this really be happening?

 

[RoKKeR]

I entered in my product code from Gamestop and SimCity simply does not show up in my Origin library. What the flying fuck is this?

 

[Smiley90]

19&21, what's your Origin-nick? I'll make an NHL-GAF region, I got BJ's origin already

How many fucks must fly before we get keys?!?!

 

[MrCompletely]

maybe throttling key distribution to not clog the download servers?

 

[Mystic_Wanderer]

Download started, very fast, 10% in a matter of seconds.

EDIT: NM, it's downloading some ~300MB file.

 

[BigJonsson]

If only they torrented it

 

[RoKKeR]

How many fucks must fly before we get keys?!?!

Well, I'm flinging zero more fucks. It showed up and it is downloading now.

 

[evilhomer]

How many fucks must fly before we get keys?!?!

Just let them all give up trying to download tonight than the doors will be open for us!

 

[SRTtoZ]

Just to clarify, does anyone else who preordered on Origin have "SimCity" still grayed out saying "unreleased"?

yes

 

[EagleBurnn]

Holy fuck, it's been 30 minutes and I still can't download. Beautifully done, EA. Good thing there isn't another client out there that handles launches better or you would look real silly right now.

 

[FINALBOSS]

Just to clarify, does anyone else who preordered on Origin have "SimCity" still grayed out saying "unreleased"?

Yep.

And when I highlight it it says that "you have successfully pre-ordered simcity"

 

[BearPawB]

It is cool how EA burns those who bothered to overpay on origin.

 

[Mystic_Wanderer]

Maybe Ubi's is better?

Great Just great:



"our Payment Provider has not authorised your purchase. This may be because some banks (incorrectly) believe that Green Man Gaming is a gambling website. Please contact your bank to discuss your order. We are working with these banks to resolve this issue. "

 

[SRTtoZ]

So the first game I actually purchase from Origin (not including the ones we all abused using the $20 promo making games free) and its a disaster.

Great Just great:



"our Payment Provider has not authorised your purchase. This may be because some banks (incorrectly) believe that Green Man Gaming is a gambling website. Please contact your bank to discuss your order. We are working with these banks to resolve this issue. "

LOL Gambling.

Yep.

And when I highlight it it says that "you have successfully pre-ordered simcity"

Yep, same. Ok just making sure so I dont feel left out.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Got the download started, got my key listed. Awesome.

I fucking hate that shit. Might as well go to sleep man and wait until your bank opens up. There really is no other way around that, sorry. :/

 

[Herpes Reasons]

you all should try flyvpn if you have your keys already

 

[Phionoxx]

30 minutes in and still not able to start downloading. I need to get to bed, wanted to let it install overnight.

[BigJonsson]

[Filth]

[SRTtoZ]

[Snuggles]

Yeah, I should go to bed and try this tomorrow. What a mess.

 

[keeblerdrow]

Okay, I got an email 3 minutes ago with an activation key in it... for Plumbob Park.

Still no SimCity.

 

[OchreHand]

Hmm.. The download went really fast, but now it's Processing Large Files.. Which is going..very..very...slow

 

[N-Bomb]

The only thing that I've learned about Origin tonight is that buying boxed copies is the way to go.

 

[Mystic_Wanderer]

Mine is downloaded and updating.

 

[Lonestar]

Just to clarify, does anyone else who preordered on Origin have "SimCity" still grayed out saying "unreleased"?

yep


but I did get an email saying I can do plumbob park!

 

[RaySpencer]

well wtf.

reloading origin doesnt help

entering the key from my origin email tells me its already in use (cause it is, I preordered on Origin)

I want to DL this game!!!

 

[RoKKeR]

13% and counting. I'll go back to Red Dead and hopefully it'll be done within 30 minutes.

Now the question is how much I value my sleep tonight.

 

[Raven77]

ITS A BOY!!!

That happened to me like 5 years ago on some other site, I can't remember which. My bank cancelled my card that night while I was out on a date and I couldn't pay for dinner. That wasn't embarrassing at all. Ah, memories.

 

[Dead Prince]

ITS A BOY!!!

mayor llama is his name. and congrats!

 

[EagleBurnn]

ITS A BOY!!!

GET OFF GAF ALREADY

Spoiler

Don't mean to sound rude, it's just odd he's on here during a time like that

Congrats though.

 

[Row]

I actually bought it off origin, and it's still greyed out

[SRTtoZ]

ITS A BOY!!!

[Phreaker]

Yeah, I should go to bed and try this tomorrow. What a mess.

I am feeling the same, maybe I'll try in the morning. Still says unreleased but successfully pre-ordered.

 

[Raven77]

[RoKKeR]

20%, going smoother than expected.

 

[EagleBurnn]

I am feeling the same, maybe I'll try in the morning. Still says unreleased but successfully pre-ordered.

I'm waiting until an hour passes by then I'm out.

[krpiper]

[SRTtoZ]

Its funny that people who actually used EA's own service are getting fucked while others who preordered using third parties are DLing and/or playing already.

 

[Herpes Reasons]
