I tried to log in today and I get an error that I couldnt log in. I try to log in again and it says i'm already connected. Now I cant play because it wont go to the next screen and it leaves me at the log in screen. How can I disconnect from the game and it's servers if I'm not connected to it?

They should have forseen this. Obviously if you're going to require a ton of people to always be logged into your servers, people downloading the game, updates, etc AND playing online, they should have prepared for the massive load. But, it happens, I bet with in a week everything will be smoothed out. I'm sure your emails weren't returned because they probably got thousands of emails from people and most probably went something like 'AHHHHH TEH GAME DONT WERK!!! GIVE ME MONEYZ BAK!! CD KEY DONT WERK, U GUYZ SUK!!' and they'll have to weed through it all. Remember you're not the only precious snowflake that had problems and I wouldn't be surprised if they're working this weekend to iron out the issues with the game and then on monday, deal with the unhappy customers. Release days on Friday's usually mean working weekends. The office is closed so customers cant yell and complain to the developers, but they can concentrate and fixing the CTDs and other major problems.

worked for me.

Thanks, intristin. LordOscar - This game is set up more like simcity rather than citylife or societies, both of which were boring as hell since there was no management, just placing of buildings. CXL isnt super hard but there is still a lot of management to deal with, more along the lines of SC4. citylife or societies was more for casual gamer.

So they dumbed it down for 10 year olds? Considering this game is all about micromanaging your city, it would seem obvious that exact numbers are important. I thought bus stops were for everyone and the rail systems and rest of the mass transportation were for subscribers?

Two issues, One, I've been playing a bit now and I still can't use the bus stops. I read somewhere that they would be available, how do I unlock them? The other issue is, I have the game through steam, where can I find the game manual or something that shows me what some buildings actually do. A lot of stuff says, 'improves food output' etc..but I have no idea by how much so I can't tell which buildings are better than others or how many of the cheaper lesser buildings equal the cost of a more advanced building. An example is, how many windmills = small electricity buildings electrical output.

Landscape icons - They are randomly switching around. When I open the tree to pull them up, I find them occasionally switched around. No big deal, just a little odd. Electricity icons - This is actually pretty funny. I dont know if it's supposed to be like this as a feature or an actual bug. When I got 5000 people and pulled up the electricity icons, when I click on the end one on the right it tilts 45 degrees, when I click on the left icon in the group, it tilts 45 degrees, random clicking made them all bunch up on top of the left one then clicking again puts them all back in a row but the last one on the right tilted at 45 degrees, I can't straighten them all out. Also, maybe I'm missing the feature but where can I save? With CTDs going on, Id like to save more often than the auto save feature. Control+S doesn't do it.

Or people that just want to play the game and care less about bugs.quote> Actually, considering the majority of games released these days, it's fairly polished. This crash is avoidable and easily fixed in a hotfix or upcoming patch. Considering it was released today, it's in pretty good shape. I'm sure I'll find other bugs and I'll report them here. Although I dont have the farm bug that everyone is talking about, nor a lot of the other graphics issues.

I was placing low density housing via freeform tool. If the free form is too big, it will CTD. I haven't tried it with any other zones. It wont crash if it's outlined (before confrim click) but once clicked, no error comes up, it just shuts down.
