  • Hi @KadabraRx7 - From your screenshot, it does look like something is blocking SimCity from completing the full installation. 

    Always run installation files "As Administrator"

    Add SimCity.exe and Origin.exe to firewall and antivirus exception lists

    Copy Update Files to SimCity folder:

    Exit SimCity and Origin

    Go to Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityUserData\Patches\UpdatedApp

    Select all files (Ctrl-A) and copy (Ctrl-C).

    Go to \Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity and paste (Ctrl-V). Choose to overwrite any files that already exist.

    If you still have the problem, please reply back with a copy of your dxdiag.
