Ok, is anyone looking into this? It's getting annoying. I'm done with SimCity until like the next 50 patches come out and the game actually makes sense to play.... so long, I would love to be able to play your graciously gifted amendment title, which I cant, because it just does not start.
My research suggests that this indeed has something to do with either my NVIDIA graphics card and/or my dual monitor set-up. Disconnecting either one of my monitors and then trying to run the game, however, has only led to the exact same result of getting the message that my cloud data is being synchronized (the loading bar goes to 5%, stops for a sec, goes to 100% and disappears.... nothing happens for 2 secs, then the same thing happens for a second time. Then. nothing.)
please help!
thank you.
edit: also, some places on the internetz suggest that launching the game directly from the .exe as admin instead of through the Orign client may help. I have tried this and the result is still the same.
