Id be interested also.

I lost all the emails and everything... i contacted Focus by email and i got a response in French... which is useless because i cant read it. Im going to contact Metaboli customer support and see what they can do.

Yesterday i had to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Edition because i added 2gb more ram to my PC for a total of 4gb and Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit wasnt recognizing all of it. But now i cant seem to be able to get my CitiesXL 2011 back... Theres no option on the website for existing players to get their game back if for some reason they have to reformat or install Windows all over again. I bought it from the site and used Metaboli to D/L it and install it. How do i get my game back! Please Help!

I really hope they fix the memory leak problem, its getting very annoying...

new cities start up fine. its when they get to a certain size they crash.

when i try to load the city.

Okay so i had asked if my PC would run the game with my current machine and from the answers i thought id have no problems. But something happened... When i started building my city ( with graphics set to high/ultra ) everything was going very smoothly. When my city got really big and i had reached about 2 million citizens the game suddenly crashed and now every time i try to get back into my city the game crashes. Now i had 2GB of Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 memory and yesterday i ordered 2 more gigs of memory and an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83Ghz 12mb L2 cache ( upgrade from an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 3.2Ghz 3mb L2 cache ). So now my Specs will be - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.93Ghz 12MB cache- CPU XFX 680i SLi LT- Motherboard 4GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 Dual Channel- Memory 2x BFG Tech Geforce 260 GTX 896mb OC 55nm MAXcore Editions- Videocard 600GB WD Velociraptor 32mb Cache 10,000rpm- Hard Drive. 800 Watt Ultra- PSU Old Specs- Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 3.2 Ghz 1066FSB 3MB cache XFX 680i SLi LT 2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 Dual Channel 2x BFG Tech Geforce 260 GTX 896mb OC Edition 55nm Maxcore Ed. on SLi WD Velociraptor 600GB 10,000rpm HD 32mb Cache 800 Watt Ultra PSU Will THIS be enough to run the game now? I just cant figure out how their recommended specs would work for ANYONE that wants to play this on high/ultra settings and build massive cities... P.S - I also bought Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Edition so that i get full use of ALL 4gigs of memory.

lot sizes are fine to me. they don't need to change them at all...

Oh and to add to #2 The roundabouts on the British road pack don't connect to any roads correctly. They are off center and the lines that separate the lanes don't line up right. Edit: I almost forgot... In one of the videos for the new game there is a part where a BIG train station is being built and there is what looks like an above ground Inter City train ( you know, the fast land rail trains). What happened to that? will it be released later?

Well first id like to congratulate Focus Int. on what they did to improve some aspects of the game. BUT there are still a few things that are annoying me. And i wish they will have them fixed sometime down the road. 1. Traffic STILL moves 1 lane at a time. And traffic lights are still broken. Not only do they NOT work, but most of the road packs, ie. Amercian. British, etc. dont plop correctly. The lights face the wrong direction, some are missing, and at 4 way stops when you rotate the camera to another angle the traffic lights disappear altogether. And the yellow road grid on the British roads is all messed up it puts the grid on corners which is not correct and if you join roads together the grids overlap and you just get a mess of yellow squares... 2. When you connect the highway to avenue piece and finish the connection allowing traffic to use it. ALL the cars that come to the section where it switches from highway to avenue get stuck and traffic just piles up because it cant get past the small gap between the different sections. 3. The trade system is mucked up a bit. it improperly calculates tokens and causes you to go into debt. restarting the game seems to fix it. 4. CPU/GPU support. Firstly i dont even think you NEED a videocard for this game since it ONLY uses the CPU. Oh and that Memory Leak STILL hasnt been fixed... Youc an play for 2 hours or so at a decent speed then it starts to get REALLY bogged down and you have to quit and restart the game to get the game at a playable speed again. VERY irritating... 5. PLEASE Focus... add night lights to the trains (headlights and lit windows). And on the planes at the airport. So that was all i had to bicker about. Besides those few things i Love the game. I havent stopped playing it since i got it. I had CitiesXL 2009 and i played it for about 2 days and was disgusted with how bad everything was. Focus REALLY made some GREAT improvements. I just hope they continue to fix issues and optimize the game more and make it not so CPU reliant i have 2x GPUs on SLi and they dont get a workout from this game at all ( I have 2x Geforce 260 GTX 896mb OC 55nm MAXcore Editions by BFG Tech). And i pray they fix the bugs and add more stuff to the game. This game now HAS 100% potential to be a GREAT game. I just hope the title lives up to it, now that its under new management. DONT LET ME DOWN FOCUS YOUR DOING GOOD SO FAR! =D

7900GS is a low end card. you wont be able to get much of the graphical goodness out of the game. It will look very basic and well... kind of boring looking. I have 2x Geforce 260 GTX 896mb OC Edition 55nm MAXcore Videocards and i can run any game on the market on Ultra settings... get a new VC and get with the times DirectX 9 videocards are SOOOO the last decade!

Thanks guys for all your positive input. I cant wait to play Cities XL 2011. I bought the old game, and i was extremely pleased to see that they offered a 50% off the retail price of the new one. After buying the old (beta) unfinished 2009 version, which i was VERY unhappy with.

I am Running Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit.
