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. ...
How big is your sim city folder ? I am the only one with only 268mb ?
It's supposed to be 268MB
Ok, thanks. Hope EA will find a way to solve those issues fast.
I was able to get to the patching screen, select my server and click on the Green Arrow, after which the program would run in the background (checked taskmanager) and not actually show me the game. Nothing was listed on the taskbar.)
On a hunch 1) Turned off Origin's In-game UI/overlay and 2) Had Origin create a direct shortcut to the game and run it in Administrator mode.
This fixed my issue, which I suspsect is caused mainly by the Origin overlay.
Havin the same Problem, if this works, I'll build a shrine for you 😕mileyvery-happy:
