Oh well got a few hrs in b4 it locked up and did the exe has closed unexpectedly

I would be but can't get my login to work at all, and now can't login to the profile page either which was working earlier.

Originally posted by: Daryn07 I have noticed however, that running the patcher/login screen in admin does not mean the game will be run as Admin, you must set both to be ran as admin before hand... (You can't just right click and select "Run as admin" you must set it to always run as such.) I hope that points vista users with issues toward a solution. If anyone else has had any luck... please don't let the rest of us wait.quote> Yeah sorry thats what i meant, under compatibility mode tick run as admin, however even that doesn't actually do anything it seems, you would still get the admin UAC warning asking whether you want to allow that

Login not accepted on anything now other than the retrieve login feature which just confirms i had the right login name can't recover password cause it sais there's no account linked to that information, which is supplied as i registered can't login as per b4 as login is invalid Yeah this is real great 12hrs now and still can't test it

As for the comment of going back to SimCity 4. personally i would love to do just that but it doesn't run stable anymore, hasn't done for yrs even if it does run on my computer that is too good for it , it lags too much Nice, upgrade your computer to play new games, then the old ones don't work LET ME PLAY SIMCITY 4 and COMMAND AND CONQUER - argggggg lol Sorry off topic there

Well put it this way, it can't be any worse than City Life or SimCity Societies or any of the other games based on a small city grid with obstacles you can't build on and having to constantly destroy buildings to upgrade something else then running our of room within a few hrs LOL got my beta but the game is not working atm due to various issues there end.

LOL I got my key from FilePlanet for free. Mind you i am a subscriber Irrelevant can't login anyway, won't accept any login attempt Least it's almost work time so hopefully by the time i get home it'll be running again as for the game.exe issue if u are using Vista this could be related to admin rights or Aero theme, try disabling the aero theme and or run as admin. The Aero problem was a known issue with various other games Personally i run XP Pro x32, Vista Ultimate x64 and atm i'm permanently on Windows 7 x64 final pre-release. can't say about XP or Vista atm til i test but on Windows 7 only error i get is login doesn't work beyond that i dunno yet an exe stopped responding issue is probably not related to a corrupt file so re-downloading won't achieve anything. Check the pre-requisites I seem to remember it saying u need Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 and Net Framework 1.1 installed, with Vista and beyond Net Framework below version 2 is not installed by default also Vista users need SP1 and XP users need SP3 Try that then you might get to the invalid login issue

Windows 7 x64. just won't accept login atm. If after that time i finally get in i'll post any bugs I can test it on XP Pro 32 and or Vista Ultimate x64 aswell as for the exe crashing on Vista u might try running as admin or turning off the Aero theme that was a similar issue with other games.
