I have SimCity 4 + Rush Hour + all available SC4 updates installed. It's been running without crashes for quite a long time now and I haven't done any driver updates in at least a year. Anyway, recently I encountered a problem that causes Simcity to sometimes freeze during exit or save. Last time it crashed right after save meaning that now I have a broken region map with simply a hole where one of my cities used to be. I can't load the city, because it can't be selected. Changing resolution did not help (I hoped it'd draw the maps again). Because a picture tells more than a thousand words, look at the attached picture of San Francisco region map. Please help. I need my city back.

Importing didn't help at all. The imported city shows as a new hole in region. I guess the city was permanently expletive deleted. I don't know how Maxis does things, but I'd make the save function to save city in a new file and when (and only when) successfull, replace the original city. This way the problem wouldn't be possible. It's gone now. I'm starting from empty map and will build a better city. Thanks to everyone!

I can still make deals and connections with the hole. As far as I know, the city lives normally, it only can't be selected from the region map because it doesn't have thumbnail or whatever it is. Can I somehow load the city without selecting it from the region map? I think the problem would be solved by saving the city again.
