Simcity Stuck on Loading Screen (infinite loop)

Well, I recently purchased Simcity and downloaded it on PC, I haven't had it work yet (I have fully updated graphics Nvidia drivers- which support the game) and have had some problems, the most recent problem is the loading screen- so I start up the game (wait for the servers to load and click play) then wait, it shows the EA logo and the theme tune thing then it says Hello, joelthemayor (my origin ID).. Then I hit resume Waterview (my city- which I have created on my sisters laptop) and it shows the loading screen with only Now Entering.. (it doesn't show my city name OR have the region picture in the background) it is then on an infinite cycle of the loading screen- constantly changing game tips...

Anyone With the same problem, or even a solution? Please answer

Thanks in advance 😕mileyvery-happy:

    I also have this problem... offline mode, sandbox, no mods... one city in a region will work fine. Add a second city and it goes into the eternal loading graphic loop.

    Your Origin ID: niaxtime

    Your City Name: newtown

    The Region Name: newtown

    The Server Name: northeast america 4

    How did you end your session last time you were playing the city: With regular Quit button. I haven't played in almost 2 years because of this

    Must say that after my whole experience with SimCity from start to finish along with this prob now and the obvious complete lack of support EA is pretty much the worst game company on the earth.

    +1 for uninstall and don't use their products any more.

  • Did you see your problem solved? I contacted EA games and nothing changed. Uninstalled and installed back the game. Repaired game within the origin options. Unchecked Origin in the game. Some new error started appearing ([3000]) and the game would launch at all. Uninstalled again and installed back. The game started running smoothly again... UNTIL I decided to claim a second city in the region I had created! 

    This is so frustrating!

    When I get stuck in The Infinite Loop, it's always because I tried to load a city that errors out, then try to go to a city which I know works. I restart, and everything is back to normal. If I try to claim a city and get that "You cannot claim this city ..." error, I already know the next city I'm going to load will enter The Infinite Loop ... so I just go ahead and restart. It's annoying, and I am pretty sure EA will never fix it so ...

    i know that whenever you load up for the first time, the game file is updated somehow (the "modified date" is always changed so I'm safely making that assumption). Obviously, when you load a bugged or crappy city, it writes the "bug" to your game file and affects everything else you do. Any PROs care to elaborate on that in an intelligent manner?

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with SimCity, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
