multiple cities

It's been awhile since playing SimCity Limited Edition - but there seems to be a problem. When I begin a new city on any map, it works fine. When I step out of that city and try to open any other c...

    Hi @oceanson - Have you claimed the cities before you tried to load them? I just went into my Limited Edition copy, and was surprised to see that from the "Play" menu, all of my unclaimed cities said "just claimed" - but they're not. I don't know when it started showing that message on unclaimed cities, but it's very confusing. I can replicate the perpetual loading screen by trying to load any city in single player mode that doesn't have my avatar associated with it. 

    It is easily fixed by entering via the region view on your claimed city. So, Resume the city that you were playing -or- hit the Play button and choose "Play" on a city that has your avatar above it. (Don't choose anything that is just a blue square.) Once that city has loaded, go to the Region view > choose an unclaimed city > choose the "Claim" button > the city will load properly. 

    Once your city is claimed, you should be able to enter it from the Play screen on the main menu. Don't believe the "just claimed" tag on anything that doesn't have your avatar on it. Claim cities from within the region view of another city before you try to load them. Hope this helps!

    Happy building!

Yup!  It worked!  I can't load other cities from the main load screen, even if it says 'claimed', only from the Regional screen!

    So glad you were able to get in! That's weird that it won't load from the main screen, though... at least you can claim and load cities. Happy Building!
