Which Versions of City Life/CitiesXL Should I Avoid?

[Koushiro_Izumi 0]

Hello Simtropolis Community,

 

I have a question about Monte Cristo's City Life and CitiesXL games. I was thinking of getting into the series and wanted to start out with the first CityLife game but when I was checking customer reviews on like Amazon.com, people were commenting on a DRM software called "Starforce".

 

My question is which versions of City Life have this DRM program and are there versions of CitiesXL with DRM measures that I should avoid or are they free of these issues?

 

Thanks for reading,

If you want City Life, get the 2008 edition. If you want Cities XL, get Platinum. The newest versions include all the features of the older versions (except for the online Planet Offer but no games have that anymore since it failed in 2010).

If you have a 64 bit system and/or more than a tri core processor, avoid Cities XL all together. You need to download special software to play City Life, though, assuming you run Windows 7. I don't think City Life is compatible with Windows 8 at all though.

I play CitiesXL on Windows 8 x64 and I have a quad core i5 and the game runs fine.

I have Windows 7 x64 and also have a quad core i5, and the game runs awfully.

I also have a 64 bit system. The game works fine for me as well.

I know this was mentioned back in July, but what is this person talking about!  I have window 7 64bit and since 2008 citylife 2008 it works great on my computer and it still does!  Also since 2009 I have Cities XL and I have also the 2011, 2012 and upgrade even to Platinum and it is running great and wonderful, with no problem.  Infact I can play citylife 2008 and at the same time play  any of the Citiex Xl, weather it is 2009 (the first release) or 2011 or even the 2012 Platinum at the any given time!  Really don't no what you are talking about!

City life runs like garbage on Windows 7. It lags every 5 seconds or so. Cities XL platinum can lag sometimes and has memory leaks. But they are good games
