City progress lost

[CodFace 0]

Spent about 3 hours getting a 19k population city, and then the screen goes back, and sends me back to the main menu. So I go to region where my city is and it says I only have 3k pop ?!?!? I try and enter the city and it just stays on the loading screen forever??

 

So I finally got into the City and it looks like I have been rolled back by about 2 hours of play. Is there any point continuing? will this keep happening? 

 

Meh I cant be bothered to do the exact same thing again, I have a life. Abandoning the city.

I've had the exact thing happen to me. I think it is the cheetah speed that's making it do that, ever since they've enabled it again it's been quitting me to menu every so often. Either that or it isn't processing correctly, and takes you straight to the menu instead of giving you an alert. If that what it is, it will take it a while to load the city again. I don't know why it takes so long though.

Yeah happened loads recently.  If it happens only on Cheetah speed then that's ridiculous.  Who uses anything else?  A couple of hours or real-time is a looooooot of building.  Last night I got a city from scratch to manufacturing electronics and crashed back to the main menu.  When I reloaded the city, it was virgin territory again.  I rage-quit.
