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. There's no error message or anything - it just doesn't start.
As promised here is the fix:
You may remove the temporary files stored on your system. For this please follow the steps listed below – 1. Double click on "My Computer" 2. Double click on the C: drive 3. Double click on the "Windows" folder. 4. Double click on the "Temp" folder. 5. Hold the "CTRL" key and tap the "A" key to select all. 6. Tap the "Delete" key on your keyboard and accept the "Are you sure you want to delete these files" prompt. 7. Once done, press and hold the Windows key and the letter R 8. In the Run box type: %temp% and press Enter 9. When the folder containing all temporary files opens press and hold the CTRL button and the letter A to highlight all files in that folder 10. Press the Delete key. 11. When prompted to verify if the files should be deleted, click Yes. 12. Any files that cannot be removed can be safely ignored.
Next and Final Step to Fix:
End all processes concering Origin and SimCity through task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete than click task manager)
Relaunch Origin and run SimCity as Administrator..
Tried it again and it still didn't work, I'm sure I followed the instructions. But this has been my last straw, its been one problem after another after another. Maybe they can fix all the eff ups fairly soon. From now on I will be adding an extra week to any games release date that is associated with EA. This is pathetic.
