SimCity 2013 Crashes when entering a Multiplayer city
When I open an already started multiplayer city, the game will crash on the loading screen that follows selecting "play" on the city in the region. The game immediately reboots the computer with only a kernel-power error in event viewer. I can start a new city and it loads properly, but if I enter a started city, the computer reboots.

SimCity 2013 precisa pelo menos 1 update por ano!
Nós Jogadores de SimCity entendemos que o jogo foi um dos maiores desastres da franquia, mas pelo menos uma equipe para o jogo poderia resolver alguns bugs que vieram com o tempo, com as atualizações de sistemas operacionais e ETC. seria importante já que mesmo tendo poucos jogadores SimCity ainda é uma franquia amada por sua comunidade! Pode não parecer mais SimCity 2013 mesmo depois de uma Década de lançamento ainda possui mecânicas interessantes, detalhes legais, economia dinâmica e muitas outras mecânicas. Jogos como Cities Skylines concorrentes direto de SimCity ainda não apresentaram tantas mecânicas que nem o SimCity 2013. Com ❤️ Comunidade do SimCity & Fake_Shake!
Can't load SimCity
Can't load SimCity. I've been at it for over an hour and contacting support is, well not help full. Here's the screen shots of the error and a screen shot of the main screen while trying to log in. They did tell me there might be an issue with the servers and to try again later. Doubtful, but OK. Try again tomorrow.
Sim City Societies Crashes
First and foremost, if anyone is taking the time to read this, thank you! I know the game is ancient and pretty much dead, but I have a big soft spot for it and at around 2GB it's great to play while I am traveling. While trying to run Sim City Societies it consistently crashes. The game installs fine, the game launches without issue, starting a new city produces no problems. The game is stable when starting a new city. Once the city is a bit more established it begins to consistently crash.

SimCity 2013: No texts are displayed, just some asterisks.
Hello everyone. Today I bought SimCity 2013 Complete Edition. I installed it on my Windows 11 PC from the EA App. The installation was successful and I was notified that it was ready, although the shortcut to the game was not left on the desktop. When I open it, the screenshot is shown without any text, just some asterisks. When I click on the only button, it closes. From the EA App I choose to uninstall the game and it takes me to the list of programs installed on the PC, but SimCity does not appear there. I read that years ago someone presented this problem and they were told that it was a very discussed topic, and they offered a link to the solution (within the forum) but it is no longer available. I suspect that it may have something to do with the language: My PC is in Spanish and when installing the game, I also chose Spanish. I hope someone can help me. I feel quite frustrated. Thanks.
SimCity 4 compatibility
Hi guys, Not sure if i'm posting this to the correct forum, but I was trying to use the My Sim feature in SimCity 4 with the sims from the Legacy Collection, but the import tab in SimCity 4 is greyed out. I know that the installation directory was changed with the Legacy Collection, so not sure if that's an issue, but just wondering if any of you have had success with this?
Missing DLC, EA says i need to purchase it again.
I wanted to play Simcity today. The Cities of Tomorrow add-on was missing from my library. After 70 minutes on support, the guy told me he couldn't do anything and I had to buy the add-on again. I have my old key, activation date, the last time I played this add-on was in 2022 and everything worked. I really don't know where to turn because I don't intend to tolerate this theft that EA is doing. I paid for the add-on, I didn't delete it from the app, they deny any fault and since it's an old game they can't help me and I have to buy it again.
This game requires administrative privileges
See attachments. I run as a user on Windows 11 pro 23H2, so need to give explicit permission to run as administrator. Running the EA app as administrator gives the same result. I also tried running the simcity.exe file as administrator, but the same error messages appear, so no difference. I tried uninstalling the EA app and reinstalling, same result. Also tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling the game, same result. The crazy thing is this game ran fine on this machine earlier and I haven't changed anything. Maybe there's been an update from Microsoft or EA that made it stop working? The machine is a powerful modern PC with: 128GB RAM, 12 core 24 threads Ryzen 9 5900X, Radeon RX 6900XT GPU The machine specification has staid the same since it was working. No new components have been installed.
