Solo Game Saved Over My Planet City!!!

[zerosugar 0]

Iv been building up quite a good independant city called South Shields on Hyperion, it was on The Grassy Plains map and apperently still is.  Only trading 5 offices to omnicorp for a bit of extra cash bringing in 8300c (and still is)

I wanted to go into solo just to test out a few things before i put them to use in planet mode so i saved, come out then went into solo, chose the paninsula map since ive never actually had a go on it before and called it South Shields.  I layed out the starting blocks, road, power, hall.  My plan was to see if i could build only using Tier3 objects and to my suprise you can sustain an income doing so.

Decided id hade enough so exited and went back to planet mode only to find that my planet city had been replaced with a blank paninsula map.  0 pop, 400000 cash but still gaining the income from the 5 offices i was trading with omnicorp, can you imagine the panic if this was trading to a player, there going to loose there 5 city tokens from me and give me a bad reputation.

But hey the bad rep is the last of my worrys, were the hell has my city gone, i cant belive that the solo game has been saved over my planet city, with a totally different map to whats supposed to be there and not only that its EMPTY!!!!!!

So i have officially had enough of this bull from MC i cant be bothered starting again, it would have been fine if it was my fault but im not happy about paying to play online uptil now to have my city wiped.  I will be demanding my money back.

Such a shame really cos i love the game but can you imagine if it was something like wow or aion and you spent the full day lvling up only for it to vanish, im sure you would be pissed too

During the beta I personally reported this problem to MC. Seems it wasn't fixed..... like many other urgent problems by the way....

However the "method" was different and required a mod to work.....

So if you use the same name for both your on-line city and solo, the game will use the solo-version that is already loaded into the memory and when you enter the planet mode and then exit, the solo version is uploaded to the server....

Hi zerosugar,

Your South Shields city has been restored to the last correct save file known. Let me know if it is properly back up. The issue is of course being investigated.

As a reminder to everyone, make sure you send your issues to our Support team too, through the form on www.citiesxl.com/feedback, and not only in this part of the forums

Thank you so much mathew.  I now have at least a little faith restored that MC can do at least something right.  I have reported it through feedback at the same time and i have to say, you were quicker, i still havent had a responce from the feedback.  I just hope they dont "undo" what you "redid" ;p

Thats exactly what happens niloluiz but the map is blank, what i had saved from solo was not uploaded, just the blank map

Humm then it's a variation of the same problem. Well at least Mathew was "quick on the trigger" and solved your issue 'overnight'.

Also for those subscribing to the planet offer is good to know that the server maintain backup versions of the player's cities...

Yeah i was going to be very disapointed if they didnt have backups.  Its almost an idiotic thought, to think that they didnt but with the way things are going at the moment, you you would forgive me for thinking they didnt do backups.
