I just installed SC4 through Steam and spent a fair amount of time working on my city. I saved the city, exited to region and then quit the game. On return, to pick back up where I left off, the city that loaded had roads and streets missing and thus zoning which was previously functional and full was empty, highway sections were missing in tiles and the cities infrastructure was pretty disrupted. The same thing happened when I saved and exited to region and started another city on a different tile. Both times the city’s were financially profitable. Is this an issue with the game saving properly? Or do the cities continue to ‘play’ and move forward in time even if you’re not playing and potentially leading to deterioration/collapse? Have been trying to find threads and forums describing this but can’t and it’s a bit frustrating when you go to resume a city and it’s looking broken. Many thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the response Not at all a technical savvy user and just installed the standard game as prompted. Only adjusted the launch parameters to fit my laptop screen. So the photos attached show a city I worked on for 30 mins and filled the whole tile, then went into the region and built next to it, then came back to it during the same session. I forgot to screenshot the city before leaving it but you can see how roads have been disconnected, zoning and other infrastructure removed. Haven't added any mods and I don't think I moved the ground under the city to affect plugins?? But I am really unsure whats happening! haha Thanks for the help
