***'SimCity has stopped working' Crash FIX!***

After 3 months of not even attempting to play the game because I could never get it working, I finally gave it one last crack, and it WORKED!

If your SimCity comes up with the error "SimCity has stoppped working" as soon as you try to launch, try this;

  • Go into your Origin Application
  • Go to the drop down menu up the top titled 'Origin'
  • Click on 'Application Settings'
  • In the menu that pops up, click on 'Origin in game'
  • UNCHECK the 'Enable Origin In Game' box (as in, turn it off)
  • Now play SimCity !

It still comes up with an Error saying 'Cannot connect to SimCity servers' when it first loads up, but after that it continues on into the game.

 

I also found out that if I had 'Windows Magnifier' enabled I wouldnt have a cursor in the game.

 

I cant guarantee that this will fix it for everyone, but thought it was worth sharing ! 

 

Good Luck !
