Maybe they were so pissed of hearing so many I told you so's that they didn't release it to spite us. All I will say is, this XL2011 better come as an expansion for us who have the game already.

The ford dealer, Kodak, are available. I don't see any blue prints either. OFC , the busses are available. I was wondering, what is that other tab in transportation that isn't available? Is that ramps? I am guessing the only way to connect expressways is by just making an intersection, although ramps would be better imo. I was also wondering, are there any mods out there that unlock anything else? The only mod I have now is sandbox mode so I can trade with omnicorp to build a decent city.

It actually gets worse the longer I keep playing. If I turn the game off for a minute, then load it back up it runs smooth! But after an hour its major click lag. Good to know that someone else notices this too.

I thought that offices helped commercial boost so I put them around my commerce. To keep pollution down, I have my heavy industry on the outside of the map. I'm starting to realize that I can't build like I did in SC4, where I had all the industry on the outside, b/c it looks like both offices and manufacturing need to be around the heavy industry for the manufacturing and industry to boom. Edit- Actually now that I have started trading with omnicorp (which is impossible with sandbox mod btw), I have been able to get my industry back up a little bit, although there are still a lot bankrupt, even with an expressway running through the city.

My problem is I can't even get the stuff to build. I have offices but they're on the other side of the map, but that doesn't seem to matter.

Does anyone know? I've even turned my graphics way down and still doesn't help. When I switch from residential to roads or something I hear about 5 clicks and I get about 5 sec of lag, it gets REALLY annoying after a while. I wish there was a way to get rid of it.

Actually this was just resolved sorry. All that happened was I had requested a new password and was trying to log in to play game with the password they sent me. But the pass they sent me was only meant to log into the site to reset my password. Once I reset my password I was able to log in to play the game. It had me stumped for a while though.

I did exactly this after I reinstalled, but I still can't login (with the busses solo patch) with my old username and password. I sent support about this and they acknowledged that I had the right username and only asked me if I was using the right old password. So heads up if you plan to reinstall or reformat you're computer, after installing the game again with patch, the server may not recognize you're user name and pass like it has done for me. I am still waiting on supports reply after I confirmed to them that I can login to the website but not the game with the same password and username I always used before.

I did this but my old log in name doesn't work anymore.

Any date on CXL 2011? quote> 2011 obviously.. hence the name. See first comes the announcment, then months latter the release date, the the extended release date, and finally the release.. probably in December 2011.

I only have one avenue.. I just dont understand why my manufacturing wont take off and I have a ton of heavy industry that wont take off either but at the same time skilled workers are unemployed. Is having unused zone blocks costing me money?? I built a bunch of agriculture and that didn't help me at all either.. I guess what I'm asking is there any way to salvage a city that looses that much money? Or does loosing money for too long just start to scrue you're city?

First.. I'm playing single player... I have 91,000 citizens... I have decorations just about anywhere I can put them.. is that costing me money? My city is not alligned in a grid like fasion...how much do roads really cost me?? I am loosing a large ammount of money every turn.. at this time it is 41,000 but my budget arrow is pointing strait forward and not down. I also have 2 fuel extractors. I have 1 of every city service.. but I guess that is too much... So can someone tell me why I am loosing so much money? If I wasn't cheating, this city would have failed long ago.

I went ahead and got cities xl last night even though I read that you may have to buy an expansion... I am hoping it will be a patch though. I didn't want to wait around for it. My first impression is its an over all good game. I just have a couple questions. Does anyone know FOR SURE if they will allow single player cities to be connected when cxl2011 comes out?? Also as it stands right now.. is it possible to build a 5million plus city in single player? I think they didn't used to have trading with cities in sp but they do now? Is that right? Well, I hope that isn't an excuse to not connect cities. I think the way simcity4 had cities connected was good. I hope they implement the same system.
