Hi, I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and then re-installed citiesxl. Now, the game client says I gotta download 397 MB worth of updated in order to play. It starts downloading and after sometime it just says "Download Failed (18,0)". Please help me identify and solve this problem. Thanks I am using Windows 7 Ultimate on a 256 kbps connection.

Any way, the reason I posted the trading standards thing in another thread is that it's a bit controversial and I thought simtropolis might want to lock it, which they have. Not surprising and I don't blame them. Tom.quote> Yea. I agree. As long as people complain, that should be ok. but the moment law and legal stuff comes in the picture its best to move to a more private conversational medium. But I do hope your case gets resolved as soon as possible!

Arkham Traffic Map. I began laying out the roads in advance to where I am planning to settle the executives and Elites.

Originally posted by: mr-tom Another day, another delay. Still nothing. No game, no key, no reply to my emails and no hope of a refund either. They have my money and they just don't care. I'm thinking of registering citiesxlblog.com or similar to record my "love affair" with this game and MC. Bit of SEO and with any luck I can get it higher in google's listings than their own site. Don't get me wrong - I don't want to make trouble, but if MC are happy to take people's money and give them nothing in return, then the way I see it, telling the world is a public duty.quote> As for the refund, did you try contacting your credit card company? maybe dispute the charge...

how did you make those small roundabouts with a tree in the middle in this image?

Originally posted by: sparky66 the problem with snowy mountain lots is that the buildings, gardens and roads never get snow on them. so houses and parks still have a bright green grass texture when all the surrounding land is snow covered. i know roads would be cleared of snow, and some people may clear garden paths etc. but it just looks silly to me.quote> I agree Thats where the content packs should come in. They should release texture and model packs for snowy or dusty buildings based on the region they are in.

Hi I was playing in Planet Mode when suddenly the planet lost the connection and I was logged out. I lost 3000 citizens!! Without warning! I hope this random connection lost doesnt happen too often. Any idea if the time interval between the planet save can be reduced to a more less time ?

Hi You can e-mail your queries to the support people. The e-mail ID should be in one of the order confirmation e-mails. I am sorry but the issues you have stated don't seem to be an issue with the "game" itself. 1 & 2) I faced absolutely no issue with the installation. It went very smooth. I have un-installed this game and installed it twice without any problem whatsoever. 3) I have opened the main cities xl page in IE, Firefox and Chrome and was never asked about the loading of unsecure items. If you are using IE, check your IE settings. 4) It does say to check your e-mail after you have registered. Just underneath the menu, a solid blue box is displayed and its clearly written that you can proceed to check your e-mail. I agree it maybe a bit smaller in size but it is there. 5) While you were registering, you may have noticed that theres a difference between your nickname and username. Nickname is used on the cities xl website and in the chat in the Planet Mode and Username is what is used to login into the game. While you are entering your nickname, you can enter upper case letters, and if you noticed, when you try to enter uppercase letters in the username box, it automatically converts the whole username to lowercase text. 6) umm..kinda irrelevant. I find the "If I wasn't so used to these types of things, I would have no idea what was wrong" line funny. Cmon dude, every account creation for anything nowdays requires the person to validate the account from the e-mail. It is a security measure to ensure the e-mail is valid. 7) The email clearly, and in a decent sized font says, You are 1 click away from activating your Cities XL account! n order to verify your email address, please click on Click here to validate your email address below. 9) I agree. It should have been Connect. But every company has its reasons. Frankly I do not care if its connection or connect or click here to login. Maybe they will correct this with a patch or something.

That trainer would be quite useful for solo players if they wanna play around in a sandbox mode kinda gameplay with almost infinite money

I think the CD keys are to be sent out by MC itself. Atleast thats what happened in my case. I sent them an e-mail stating that I haven't received the CD key and they told me that the key would be mailed to me by the distributor and not by MC whereas in the e-mails from the distributor it was stated that I will be sent the key via e-mail but they didn't specify if they themselves will send them or MC. So, after about a 5 e-mail conversation with MC, it was confirmed to me that TMP Direct will send me the game and MC will send me the key via e-mail which I received the next day. I created my account, the confirmation e-mail came instantly , I entered my CD key and now I have a working Cities XL account.

I logged onto the SE client and downloaded and installed all the updates and now when I click on the exe file, Vista just says it has stopped working. I have no clue what to do now. I am using Vista 64. I have tried running the application using Win XP compatibility mode and as an admin but still nothing. Please help EDIT 2 : Everything works now. Needed a graphics driver upgrade

Yea that I can do when I get my LE Edition cos LE edition has 5 additional maps and what not. So for now, I can just play the game in sandbox mode or try the PO using a SE client. I just hope my CD key doesnt get "locked" or something

It might have a value if MC works to produce good content every month. For example, they provide you with new buildings which replaces the existing buildings so that no two of your large hotels look the same or maybe release some nex texture maps for the roads which changes them to little weathered / dirty state depending on the traffic load it carries. So if all that happens, the city o a PO subscriber will look much nicer than the city of the single player person and he will atleast think once to get himself a PO subscription. Atleast I will.

So you are saying that the keys for Standard Edition and Limited Edition are different? In my account page on the website it shows a 7 day trial of PO. I already have a working account. Does it matter if its a Standard Edition or a Limited Edition client I am using? Edit : I have my own CD key. I just want to borrow his copy, login with my account and try the game for a few hours.
