I don't get the tutorial everytime but I do get the some stuff wasn't synced with the server when I exit.

That is generally because it doesn't sync to the server UNTIL you exit; worse, it won't know to sync to the server unless it's told to. (It's not unique to Simcity - MMOs are even worse in terms of this sort of thing. The reason why it's frustrating for old-school SC mayors is that the online connection/server-sync bits are new *for us*.)

I've only gotten the tutorial once - and I play on two different servers (NA East 3 and NA East 4).

No, the sale didn't, compared to what was offered free. That's what I'm saying.

Some titles were on sale that were NOT included in the Free Game offer (Crysis 3, for example - the NFS Hot Pursuit reboot wasn't offered free either); both are, in fact, STILL on sale (the sale runs through the end of March). I would have preferred to see additional title choices (not just the above two titles, but even NFS: The Run or Crysis 2 Maximum Edition), though I did pretty good IMHO with the MW reboot choice.

I have yet to have a single city I worked on save to a server...... even ones I played for 3+hrs.... starting to annoy the heck out of me...

For the future, in Update 2.0, we?ll be addressing the Recycling Center bug, fixing the fire engine clumping, improving the efficiency of Street Cars, and increasing the radius of river water. We?re also fixing the tuning on Casinos and are making them more profitable. These are just a handful of the substantial changes coming in Update 2.0.

Right on.

Start two cities in the same region, leave one as it is. Most likely it's the lost city bug and that will generally only be unrecoverable if you only have one city in the region. Or if you play in a region with someone else, you can open their regions from the friend list and play your city.

hahaha

I got Crysis 2 Maximum on sale! it was $10 as an upgrade to Crysis 3 :laugh:

I should have been more clear - I meant as a separate title (not just for those that already had Crysis 3).

^ This, but with streetcars >.>

Also, houses/buildings on roads (with traffic going through it).

Missing highway chunk with cars still driving over it.

My city produces more waste than it uses water, so the water table fills faster than I can pump it out.. Mildly moronic >.>

Just lots of glitches >.>

anyone here have any really freaky bugs???

I've seen the buildings on highways glitch but the only really weird glitch I have is when trading flakes out. It's REALLY rare now but it does happen occasionally.

I finally got a solar farm at one of my regions, awesome =) If only it wasn't still radioactive that might mean something o.o

I didn't feel like wading through 63 pages of this topic. Has the game gotten any better since launch? It looks like Amazon has it on sale (both digital and physical) for $39.99 that would be within my price range if the game is in better shape than it was at launch.

Definately.

It should be avoided on principle.

I bought it at $40. Played the s*** out of it for a week, then realized there wasn't anything more than that.

I've already moved on.

And I never had any problems getting it to work, I guess my playstyle led me to not having too much traffic or any problems like that. The game just felt shallow, and like a simulation that gets boring. Not a game.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      1. Define "better". 2. It's still more expensive than equivalent PCs so... And there is not one Windows platform. This is the mistake ALL Apple oriented people make. Apple is one OEM. You could reasonably compare them to one PC OEM, say Dell or HP. But you can't compare them to ALL PC OEMs. Case in point, Apple has NO touch screen MacBooks. No tablet Macs. There are no rugged Macs. The variety of PC OEM design is insane. With Apple, you have... Apple. The problem is that you're starting with Apple as the definition of "good" then filtering out anything that isn't close to an existing Apple product, then trying to homogenise all of those left into a fictional product line and then ignore any innovations to create a minimal feature subset so you can say "See! Apple better!" PS: I was an Apple dev for 17 years and helped develop MacInTalk and disability solutions for Apple, and worked on Microsoft Office for MacOS - and I have several Macs and MacBooks - so tread very carefully.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
