Simcity 5 keeps crashing.
I play the game and after a little bit it crashes, it says "sim city as stopped working" i know it has nothing to do with my graphix card or anything because it used to do it with simcity 4 not that long ago. I dont know how to fix it, It will not stop crashing. I dont know if its origin but im starting to dislike origin a lot because of these issues.Region Not Sharing Resources / Status Checks between cities
The region I have created has 1 city I am actively working, and 2 small cities I have created to take other roles. The problem is that I have tried to sell power/water/sewage to the small cities, and they aren't taking it. Additionally, when I am in the small cities, I cannot build the buildings granted by the upgrades in the city I have been working (Department of Finance, Oil HQ, etc etc etc.) NONE of the region checks are going through. Every city is acting like an island with no communication between them. I thought this was supposed to be the point of always online.City is not processing. Rollback or abandon. Rollback fails.
Anyone else having this issue? I've spent a few hours now, twice, building two different cities, in two different regions. After a couple of hours, I get an error message - Your city is not processing correctly. This quits to a region view, where you have to choose from Rollback or Abandon. Clearly, I have tried to choose Rollback, but to no avail. All over red rover - can't get back into that city. If I quit, and restart, it even says "Resume City Name" I think great, until I try it - Cannot load city at this time. What kind of rubbish is this? I have paid $100 for this game, and it appears to be so buggy that it should be considered an alpha release, let alone beta. *HURRUMPH!*Simcity "signal loss" "Black screen of death" thread
There are a ton of threads about this issue. EA or Maxis hasn't acknowledged this problem yet. When you call EA they blame your computer but how can it be all our computers? How can this be the only game that messes up our computer like this? There are a few people on here telling people it is their faulty hardware OR it is an overheating issue. All our cards overheating? All of us have faulty hardware that just so happened to mess up while playing Simcity? I doubt it. I don't know what it is but it couldn't be that I don't think. Here is my issue. I will try and load a city. Before it is loaded all the way my screen goes black and my monitor says "no signal" The lights and fans on my computer are still on but nothing happens. I have to manually turn off my computer. If I try to turn it back on, it doesn't turn on. I have to wait a minute before I can turn it back on. My city sometimes load and when it does I am able to play as much as I want in the city (which shows me my graphic card is stable enough to run it) but when I go to regional view it happens. These ARE signs of hardware problems but if so, how can this be the only game? Is that even possible? I ran The Witcher 2 on uber settings and ran around trying to crash my system. It didn't happen. I played Battlefield 3 on ultra running and shooting trying to crash my system. it didn't happen. I ran Furmark (GPU stress test overclockers use to test) my card was fine running that as well. I have both the CCC and coretemp up while playing. My CPU is a i7 920 OC to 3.8 and it is in the 60-70 temp range. My GPU is a Radeon HD 6950 and is in the 70-75 temp range. Those are not overheating temps what so ever. If it was a hardware problem we are all experiencing wouldn't the same problems show in other, more graphical games? If I am shown proof that it is overclocking doing it I will turn all mine off but seeing that other games and stress tests (Furmark and prime95) work just fine, I am having a troubled time seeing any ties between the two. I have contacted someone who works at Maxis (MaxisMC over on reddit) and they said they will pass the error a long to the graphic guys so we shall see what happens. I would suggest others do the same for they can see that this is a wide spread problem. I hope it gets fixed soon. It is getting frustrating. Here is my video of what is happening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMClZSCCnEw Here are a few more videos from people on these forums seeing the same exact problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN-Y1HoablU&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcgx985f-mQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLBf_o0UFiw If you have the ability to record and this is happening to you, record it and post it in this thread to show EA/Maxis.

I didn't paste in the threads I am a part of on other forums with people having the same issue! How can this be our computers if it is happening to a lot of us? They need to look at this and try to find what is going on with us. Like I typed before, I can accept it is hardware if I am shown proof that it is but stress tests and playing other games show otherwise.....
SimCity keeps freezing (NOT BSOD or windows error)???
Hi, I've seen a lot of posts about SimCity constantly crashing with a blue screen of death or windows error but mine just simply freezes? I'll be playing for about 30 mins to an hour or sometimes if I'm lucky a little longer then the game will just freeze completely. I cant move the cursor and the music and sound efects make a horrible screeching noise. I cant CTRL ALT DEL to exit the game and everytime I'm forced to manually restart my computer. My graphics card never exceeds 60 deg C and my PC specs are WELL within the range to play this game on ultra settings. Anyone else get the same problem or know how to fix it??? Please help, its getting extremely frustrating having this on top of server issues. I also experienced the exact same problem whilst playing the beta. Thanks!Your city is not processing properly
After playing my city for a while I got the error below: "Your city is not processing properly. We would like to try to repair it. This process will take you back to the main menu." I hit Quit, much to my shagrin as this was the only option, and it removed me from the game. I then had the option to rollback. I did that, and found that it has only set me back a bit, so I didn't worry. I then prceeded to have this happen 6 more times, any where from 5 to 15 minute after rolling back and reopening the map, and it always set me back to the exact same place. It seems to always happen shortly after I hit 5k people and upgrade my city hall. I will be attempting to star a new city on a new region to test. I'd much prefer to keep this first city going if possible. Any help is appreciated. Edit - New region worked for some time but the error just started with this new region as well.
[BUG] Trade Depot Won't Export
I have 2 ore mines and a coal mine in my city, and my trade depot was working fine exporting these for cash this morning. After a while it seems now my trade depots refuse to export anything and they sit at full capacity while still being set to export. All my mines have now shut down because they are all full and they cant deliver to the trade depots because those are full. The roads connecting my city to the region are operating just fine and not clogged, so the trucks SHOULD have a path out of the city to export. No trucks are departing however. This completely breaks a mining city as I can't even mine fast enough to "unlock" the Mining HQ or Trading HQ since my trade depot is gridlocked. Building new trade depots didn't help as those simply filled up as well."You cannot claim this city because you do not own some of the content used to create it."
I can't seem to join any regions with open cities because of this message. I bought the standard version of the game but I just can't find any regions that were made by someone with the same version. There seems to be no way to filter for regions created using a certain game version (or even regions with open spots), which makes finding a region to play completely impossible.
