Simcity 5 keeps crashing.
I play the game and after a little bit it crashes, it says "sim city as stopped working" i know it has nothing to do with my graphix card or anything because it used to do it with simcity 4 not that ...

THis is dumb do I really need to download this STUPID update after it already finished last night? Can anyone confirm this so I can close out and try to connect again. I've already waited 30min on this stupid thing sitting now @ 22%. I really don't have time for this, I have only certain time to play and if this can't be resolved i'm getting a refund from gamestop on Monday.
I wish I got a physical medium for my game. Returning downloaded "data" seems counter intuitive.
The game is crashing, because there is no mechanism to deal with non-connectivity. If by chance you get in to the game and start playing, you can cause a crash by disconnecting your phone line. The game just crashes. Usually games that require internets, come with some sort of overlay or notification that warn you that the game will exit if you can't connect to the server any more.
SimCity is completely silent about ALL connection problems, and crashes if the server is unreachable.
If you try to launch SimCity with no internet... nothing. Double click, watch the hour glass, then nothing.
EA, if you make a game that requires 100% network connection, how about some error messages when network becomes unavailable instead of a game crash?
