12 years agoSimCity won't start
I just downloaded the new SimCity last night using Origin. The problem is that when I try to launch the game, the cursor blinks as though the computer is working, but the game simply doesn't launch. ...
Okay, I figured out a potential fix (at least for me).
I've got two hardrives, one an SSD, the other one a standard 1tb.
I've only bought the ssd recently, so Origin was installed on the 1tb, while SimCity (default) installed to my C drive (which is now my SSD)
So I uninstalled Origin on my 1tb and reinstalled it on the SSD SimCity and it actually managed to launch!
It remains to be seen now whether I'll encounter the myriad of other bugs on the way to actually playing the f******* game =D
Dont have two hard drives, so this doesn't help ☹️
Actually on mine, if I check the size of Sim City folder, it is only 268MB, but Origin says it is fully installed and when I check the game it up-to-date. Is it the same issue that you all have.
PS: I actually had the same problem at BEta 2 when it was unable to fully download the game too, only difference was that at the time it was saying "you have no redeem code when I was launching the game".
