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. ...
I had the exact same issue - SimCity would start normally.. if I quit SimCity and wanted it to start again it wouldn't launch until I rebooted my PC.
Here is what helped in my case:
In the Origin Program Settings, go to Ingame and disable the ingame overlay. After that the game starts normally as often as you want.
Jawsbyte - Thank you so much! I was getting so annoyed with rebooting everytime I wanted to play the game. I finally googled it, which brought me to your post, and that fixed it for me! Thanks again!! 😕mileyvery-happy:
