So I just bought a hard copy of the game yesterday. Installed, patched, and played for roughly 9hrs straight with no problems. I jumped back on this morning and everything was fine. My buddy and I decided to play in a region where we could be neighbors. All was good there for about 3hrs and then all of a sudden the game freezes, crashes back to the desktop, and states that SimCity has stopped responding/working. I thought perhaps it was because I had Steam running as well as Origin, so I shut it down. 30mins later, same thing. I could see if a patch had just recently downloaded, but my friend told me that the last time the game was patched was this past Monday (to v2.0). Right now I'm running the SimCity recovery program, but I've read A LOT of posts where people said this did nothing. Basically it's a 50/50 shot here, just wondering if anyone else is having/had an issue like this and if they found a fix.
