Simcity won't launch

Try setting your SimCity and Origin desktop icons to run in Windows 7 compatability mode and "as administrator".

 (usually right click, select Properties)

You can also check out your install and update logs for more info
Open them with Wordpad and scroll to the bottom. Look for any WARNING or ERROR lines.

I'm having the same problem but on OSX. halp me pls :heart:

Ive just had the same issue, mine was fixed by uninstalling origin (using their uninstall program in the origin folder) and manually deleting all the origin folders from:

Appdata-local

Appdata-Roaming

Program Data.

Then re-downloading, reinstalling origin and reinstalling the game.

I was on 8.1 and tried many other solutions but that was the only one that worked.

donwload new origin it will help

all i did was try again... 😞

I'm having this problem on windows 10 are the steps the same or do i need to do something different?

All i had to do is go to the install folder of simcity right click the logo and set compatibility to xp serverpack 3 and checked run as administrator
