Re: Sim city running slow

This computer is fairly new. About two years old. Your saying that is to old???

Unfortunately a 2 year old desktop is too old.   You might try to upgrade graphics card and add ram.  But the best advice would look to upgrade the pc, or run the game on low resolution. 

Sim city is running slow on 2 of 3 cities in my region.

this started on Oct 28 2014...everything is 2-3 seconds behind including my typing this question.

What's going on?

My laptop is 2years old and to someone in this post who told another 2 yr old pcs are too old...move on.

This never occurs in the other city--which leads me to believe this is a server issue.

No one participating in this thread has named anything useful about how their hardware compares to the game requirements.   "Newness" is *NOT* relevant at all. 

Network problems (referred to as "Lag") manifest themselves in a variety of ways,  A DxDiag report can eliminate any question about whether or not a PC has adequate performance. 

How to get DxDiag and put it in a Pastebin page:

That was an irrelevant response.  A cheap, average, ordinary PC will always be just what it is, at every age it reaches.  Gaming machines cost more to start with, and play the games correctly, not herky-jerky and fuzzy.

You piggybacked into a necro'd thread and did the same as the rest, which was avoiding providing useful information, about which I posted a detailed reply.  You have apparently ignored that response.  We must now presume that you no longer need assistance from the community at Answer HQ. 

in plain English, why is it that 2 of 3 cities have a slowness issue.

And the 3rd one runs fine in same region.

This was not an issue until aweek ago.

So in Gamer: bump.

Issue:  notresolved.

This thread needs to be closed

I fully understand what you are saying. I have the identical issue. Same desktop 3 SCBI's 2 work fast, 1 very slow.
