I tried making a game in sanbox mode.

"Unable to create city"

Why? Is there something I'm missing?

I have never complained about always on, ever. However if that is the cause, then it needs to ****ing go. If I go into sandbox mode, create my own city, and make it private, it means I want to play alone. **** their severs.

Look back a few years, now look at today. We have 'pirates' to thank for that, and EA of course ;)

Naw, I blame EA wholeheartedly

I tried multiple servers and nothing. This blows. They need to figure something out or I will fight for a refund.

EDIT:

Have been trying since 10PM eastern time. An hour and a half later, still cannot play.

Just wait till all the EU folks start activating.....soon, very soon.

Just be aware, that if you do manage to create anything, you need to be on SAME server to load and play it ;) Switch, and you will have to start again, or try and load same server to get your game back :)

Wonderful EA 'cloud' and always on DRM, gotta luv em lol!

Sorry guys to make it worse for you all... I am a UK guy, got my key yesterday from Green Man Gaming for the UK release. Connected to a VPN in America and it has unlocked and is downloading as we speak!

Stupid EA is being slow it the downloads though - just ditch Origin and stick with Steam, EA!

Get ready for the 'We never expected this game to be so popular, that is why users cant play, here is a free DLC, apologies' on the front page of Neowin, and everywhere else.

:laugh:

That is pretty much what they said so far, minus the DLC part. Fortunately, I was able to hold my temptation to both pre-order and buy at midnight. After going through the Diablo 3 issues I refuse to buy anything on release that is always-on.

On top of that, the game just doesn't look fun. You have these small "city" areas to work with, the maps aren't even dynamically generated, you can't terraform, and you are pretty much penalized if you decide to use anything other than 90* road designs. I don't know, I guess I had high hopes for this game and the more people play it and the more I read about it, the less happy I feel about it. Should have known this was coming when they tried SimCity on Facebook because this feels like a similar game with a few more features.

Wow so much negativity here. Origin India will sell it for $28. But even then I am not sure I will get it.

2 things that **** me off

1. Always on DRM and internet

2. Ridiculously small cities. They look like Farmville 2 size.

These 2 points are inter related. Eliminate one, the other goes away as well.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
