Ill ask you this way, your 295 the dual PCB type? is the video of CXL buttery smooth? If so, thats positive enough to make me happy once I get the game.quote> No its a single PCB card. (http://www.inno3d.com/products/graphic_card/gtx200/gtx295.html) that one. The video is fine, Plays really well. They never mentioned anything about SLI or issues with dual gpu cards. quote> No, thats the dual PCB card. which means all the better as it virtually is two separate actual cards rather than two chips integrated onto one card. Thanks you for the response. Now I only have to worry about the new ATI series cards working well with this game. These cards with SC4 will flash when scrolling (which is expected) and props, smoke, and if I remember right cars as well all dissapear when moving around the map view. So maybe its safe to say.. No major issues reported to link directly with using dual graphics processing units. Game On! quote> The card I have is a single PCB.

Originally posted by: usmarine0622 I'm having the same problem I'm running Windows 7 Pro, with a phenom II 940 @3.6Ghz 8gb ram and x2 ati 4870's. I can log in but once i hit play it says Cities XL Game has stopped working. It doesn't display a error message so im not sure what's going onquote> Well I contacted Cities XL support and they have been great, They made me run a program on my game installation and they say I am missing some files from my installation. They have asked me to re-download the game from their web site and see if that fixes the issue. I will report back how I get on.

Well Cities XL support have been amazing, I have to take back the part where I mentioned not holding my breath because they have tried to help every little bit they can. They made me run an MD5 program on the game files and they have confirmed that my installation is missing files and that I should try downloading it again from their web site. Currently downloading it and hopefully this will fix the issue. I will report back if it works

Well I got a reply off Cities XL support, they asked me to provide my DxDiag information and the Cities XL log files that the game creates. Sent them back earlier today and hopefully I'll get a reply with some possible solutions tomorrow, If i do i'll post them up here.

I have submitted a support request to Cities XL to see if they can come up with any ideas on how to fix it, But honestly I am not going to hold my breath

Originally posted by: Xidillon I havent bought the released version of the game yet. I was using a 260 black edition gpu during the beta. I dont really want to have to only use one 5850 when I buy the game when I splurged on two to ensure ZERO game lag with full on eyecandy on a 1080p monitor. I had a few game crashes in beta, a few less than others still. Ill be sure to try Crossfire enabled/disabled around christmas time. Meh, Chris, it doesnt look too promising does it? quote> No it really doesn't, I have only recently upgraded to a 295 GTX because my old card decided to die on me. lol I am starting to think it may be something else because I tried disabling multi-gpu in the nVidia control panel and it did the same. If i installed it on my laptop it would run I bet but I really don't want to play it on a laptop that is just going to lag.

Originally posted by: Aspire To My Understanding: CXL does not support SLI (yet) they tried to meet their deadline, so many things will come up with updates over time. So Just Wait, and you'll Be Fine! quote> It's all fine saying just wait and you will be fine but I have paid for the game and can't use it. If I get back into the game Id be tempted to renew The Planet but I am not going to do that until I get the game working. Xidillion can you try it with just one GPU active and see if thats the issue? Edit: I have tried turning off the multi-GPU support in the nVidia control panel but it made no difference, still crashed at the same point. Maybe this isn't a multi-gpu issue.. hmm

Looking at another post about SLI/CrossFire I am wondering if this is the issue? Someone said its not supported and the 295 graphics cards use two gpu's on board so could this cause the game to crash?

I wonder if this is why my game keeps crashing, I have a 295 and they have two on board GPU's which basically acts like SLI. My game keeps crashing on the splash screen. Hmm..

Sorry its took so long to reply. Been busy. All it says when it crashes is: "Cities XL Game has stopped working" "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." No error code or anything like that. I have tried installed a 64bit version of Visual C++ which i got from the microsoft site. Edit: Just to let you know it does this on the Cities XL splash screen just after login.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I am not using any mods, cheats or trainers. I didn't even know Cities XL had mods or cheats tbh. lol
