Same here, crashes suddenly.. My boyfriend has no issues at all with his SimCity, pretty much the same spec PC😕 and on the same connection. I also had hell installing the game since "that large file" would never get done. Fixed it by copying the patch from boyfriends harddrive. When the patchthingy started it said something in red text, quickly updated the game by itself and is now atleast working - for a while. Getting really tired of this and have started to think about a refund... Honestly - this is rubbish!
