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. ...
For me turning off origin overlay fixed the problem. But then I can't chat with my friends in the game.
Edit:
I found what was the source of the problem for me. If I use MSI afterburner and its overplay with Origins overlay then SimCity doesn't start, only starts in tasks not as an aplication. But If I start SimCity first and then MSI afterburner it all works.
Yeah, had the same problem with MSI Afterburner... what helped? In On-screen display server there's an option to enable Stealth mode... whatever it does makes SimCity run again with Origin overlay...
PLayed the game on Sunday for hours no issues. Today 3-20-13 2202 HRS game wont start. Click play from within orgin no response game doesn't launch. Yea we got a free game but sorry thats not enough how about a full refund on this game and we play for free also. A free game isn't why I bought this one. Lets go EA you ruined a classic game.
