Maybe they can fix that when they give us one way roads in update 9?

I can confirm that the option for disabling disasters is not staying active after game shutdown. I tried it 3 times yesterday and upon start up, it was unchecked. Each time I checked the option, I also changed other options, all of which remained active. Would be interested to find out if this is Mac specific or if it is happening on PC's as well.

I running on a Mac John - I'll check it out next time I'm in game. I forgot they gave us an option to turn off the disasters...

I downloaded and started playing around with the COT expansion this past weekend. I spent most of my time just playing around with different aspects of how the expansion works. I started to notice a problem that appeared in every city I started after adding COT, an unusually high amount of abandoned buildings with the reason, "couldn't find parks or shopping". In almost every case, the building in question was very close to either or both and in some cases, right next door to a park or a shop. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

Yeah, that is odd. In cities where I've had casinos, the income/hr will sometimes drop to the negative after midnight until the tourists start coming in again. Thought that might be the case here.

Do you have one or more Casinos in your city?

Hey John - I sent you a friend request in Origin yesterday evening. Not sure if you saw it or not. Is your city in a private region?

I wonder what would happen if tried starting a new city in the same region as the one you're having an issue with?

With regard to the sewage issue Robotica, my understanding is that the sewage will take the path of least resistance much the way traffic will behave. In the case where I have placed either two sewage dumps or two treatment centers, I have found that placing them on opposite ends of the tile work the best. Your road layout will also play a big part in how your sewage is routed.

I've recently started playing SC 2013 and while it hasn't affected my gamelplay, I am continually receiving an error that states I've been "disconnected from the server; check interenet connection" followed by a message stating "connected to server" In an hour worth of gameplay, this may happen 15 - 20 times. Please note that I have searched here as well as the EA forums and found only a few references to this issue. The only known resolution noted so far has been to try a different router......really? I am also playing on a MacBook Pro, which runs the game beautifully. My guess was that I needed to open some ports on my router, but the game info insists that it uses the same ports as my internet browser. ....So, I humbly come before the ST community, fully confident that someone way smarter than me can shed some light on this annoying problem!

I haven't noticed this glitch at all D, but I really haven't looked for it nor have I had any issues with trash. I'll see if I can't replicate it at some point today. I am playing on a MacBook Pro so maybe issue is isolated to PC? <EDIT> Update: I started a new city today D and waiting until the residents started screaming for trash pickup. I added the dump around 11pm and watched as the trucks went out on the town finishing all of the pickup by about 4am. They returned to the garage to await the start of the next shift at 6am. Once the city grew to a population of 30k, I returned to watch the trash pickup. I started watching around 4am and like clockwork, the trucks left the garage at 6am. BTW, I am only running 2 trucks at this point. The trucks returned to the garage several times during the shift to unload and continued to pick up until all of the days trash had been collected. The shift ended around 2am. The only trahs not collected was from one abandoned building. Hope the info helps my friend. </EDIT>

Wow....like a trip down memory lane. 2005 & 2006 were great years for CJ's!

No doubt.....I also remember back in the day when they said stuff like that couldn't be done!

Yes, unfortunately lost and I no longer have the files on my computer.  We've done several upgrades since then. The important thing is that Phat's list is finally showing you the love you deserve!

Now I've seen everything.......I can't believe this thing is still up here Not sure if you've been online lately - but I had to stop by and check in on my favorite CJ of all time!
