I really wish I'd have read the reviews first. I certainly wouldn't have purchased the game.
Unfortunately, I downloaded the game from stupid Origin, so refunds aren't available. Should've just gotten the disc without the "Digital Upgrade" package. What a complete waste of $85. I'm very unhappy.
To everyone raging about the current issues: calm down, they will be fixed. Every game launch these days has major issues. I bet in a few days - a week things will be running smooth. Though it is kinda lame for now.
I have tried Europe West and North America 2 and I haven't had a crash since last night. But in exchange, my graphics are screwy now. I still believe something is up on EA's side.
Been on NA East, NA West and then settled into 4 hours of straight play since my debacle this morning with the 15mins on and crashing. Which i thought was a good thing since I got the early morning 2 hours and then crashing started.
Only thing that I did different this after noon?( mind you after, router reset, dns cache flush, CCleaner, Temp files deleted out of Win7, and finaly uninstall reinstall) and it finaly started working. I was happy. So dont change the graphics?
Man...finaly claiming my second city and getting it moving...ah well...crashed again...
Also after uninstall/ reinstall no longer able to Download and use the pieces from the "LE" version I pre-ordered...
GL all...
