I can't seem to join any regions with open cities because of this message. I bought the standard version of the game but I just can't find any regions that were made by someone with the same version.
There seems to be no way to filter for regions created using a certain game version (or even regions with open spots), which makes finding a region to play completely impossible.
Hurry up and fix this crap. I have owned this game for three days and have still not been able to play in a region with other people.
Simcerely,
Really pissed off
Agreed, this is super sketchy. Apparently you don't even need to plop any DLC content to restrict. By simply claiming a city with DLC added to your account you're restricting it from those who lack the DLC. It also goes directly against their claims that standard users can mingle with deluxe users without any limitations...which is turning out to be a lie.

Ok so now that I can finally get on to servers I now cant claim a single city, everything gives me this stupid message. Please fix this or make the search better so that I can filter out stuff that I cant connect to this is very annoying because your join game screen sucks it gives me no options at all so im left clicking through cities 1 by 1. VERY ANNOYING.
It wont matter if you own the DLC that you need or not, it's EA ploy to hide the server issues, and act like it's the consumers issue.
