Ok on fist impression:

The game runs smooth. The American and Asian pack are extended and look nice.

Music really makes the game feel more alive! The fact that when i entered my first city i saw a plane trail was optimistic.

In the road menu the roundabouts realy were the refreshing part of the new game. menu functions still much the same obviously.

Ok more commin up, stay tuned!

Do the roundabouts fit any of the roads? I have two roundabouts available (original CXL) neither of which fit properly to any road.

wow nice!! YAY!

[buidingbig 3]

There are more roundabouts and they 'fit'

[Stef42 0]

Note: the 'grassy' roundabout does not fit at the 'grassy road'. Grassy road --> normal roundabout or Normal road --> Grassy roundabout.

wow, keep going with the info , cant wait to hear all availlable info today and tomorrow

I just bought and downloaded the game, but I gotta wait up to 8 hours to get the activation code!? Come on, I have never heard about any game that operates like that. When you buy and download a game you should get it instant... Can anyone tell me how long time it took for you to get the code?

[Stef42 0]

I got the code of the game in the same e-mail as the download links. I think everyone has the same when you place a pre-order via the official site!?

[Lakenstaken 34]

Stef42 I only got the Confirmation of order yet, it just says" Your order Status: Your order is being validated.

In order to fight fraud, our team is conducting further checks in order to validate your order with us. You will receive your activation key as soon as your order has passed our checks. These checks don't usually go past the time needed to download your game. If you have not had any confirmation from us in the next 12 hours, we recommend you contact customer support."

No code yet... Did you get it instantly Stef? Tho im using another email than the one i registered my 2009 version on, can that have something to do with it?

[Lakenstaken 34]

Can anyone tell me how long time it took for you to get the activation code? Still waiting

Edit: been 2 hours now

[AND93 10]

can anyone post pictures of the subway, passenger train or roundabouts? i'd love to see some!

[Lakenstaken 34]

Sure ill post some screens mate... When they send me the damn activation code >_<

I dont get securcom or what its called anyway, any pirate can crack it, it's only a pain for us that pays for games.

[AND93 10]

lol thanks and i hope you get the code quickly... those waiting times are really annoying xD

[Stef42 0]

I guess the only thing you can do is to wait for a short moment, until tomorrow. While this is the official launch date.

Focus mentioned that not all the pre-order's have been released too early (today). So, wait until the 14th. Else, contact support after tomorrow.

Does anyone have an idea when the game will be for sale in Belgium?

EDIT: I just read somewhere that Cities XL 2011 will be released in Belgium on 29/10/2010... can anyone confirm this?

[Digma 1]

Had to download the game 3 times, as every time it came with corrupt data. Finally got it and am playing it. Plays smoother than I was used from CXL 2009. Have seen a few of the options and they are nice, but focussed on just getting around first.

[buidingbig 3]

Hey all! just wanted to let you know game experience so far has been great!

Screens from the subway, at the bottom of the page. kinda louzy screenshot though..

Oooh, glad that I bought the game in the online-shop. Are you going to?

[Lakenstaken 34]

This is *****ing ridiculous, I just woke up to find out I havent got my activation code... YET! Bought it yesterday, It's been 12 hours. If this is how they threat customers, thats just low.

The game's official release date is today, so you'll get it soon (it's not even unlocked on Steam yet).  I suspect they allowed some folks to download sooner to pre-emptively relieve server stress.

Ah I feel kinda dumb right now, I just realised that the ones that have got the code yet is some of the people that pre-ordered. Since I bought it yesterday it all makes sense. Ah well, guess Ill get it later today then

I agree, runs a lot smoother now, well done.

But how do you make the metro trains run above ground?

[Lakenstaken 34]

Okay got the code.  The game seems to run alot smoother than CXL 2009, also the daylight seems more realistic than before, Dont know if thats just me. There is also ambient sounds : Here is a few screens i took from my town with american roads: (sorry about re-zising the first 3 screens)

English roads:

German roads:

French roads:

American roads:

I'm just going to transfer some money to my PayPal account and buy it in the online shop. I don't wanna wait till November.

Do you know how you can make the metro trains run above ground?

Just like when building bridges. Just hold SHIFT and move the mouse up. Might be a bit hard, I've tried it.
