map loads..

Nothing happens.

Fantastic.

This is shambolic.

That just happened to me, i had to wait a minute or 2 for it to start.

The sooner EA fold the better frankly.

I'm even struggling to cancel my preorder!!

What servers are you guys trying to play on, having no issues with Europe East 1. Logged back in about 5 minutes ago.

Thanks. I'll send them a tweet see if they know anything.

Had an email saying its on its way, so hopefully get it tomorrow

arknor · 6 Mar 2013 at 20:49

so if you have a UK key you can VPN it to play now and not just install the game?
My heart says buy it.
My brain is telling me to wait until a week after release and see how the land lies

lololol

"Unable to claim city"

Seems like there isn't a Singapore server like I thought - only showing the Europe / US services to choose from.

Will try again tomorrow (5 AM , should get some sleep

)

I have my retail code. States it's locked even when activated via a US VPN.

Oh well, I can wait until Friday.

Hope this game crashes, burns and costs EA a load of money... That's unlikely though as it looks like they've put about £6.20 into the "development" of it. How is it even possible to utterly destroy Sim City? The people running EA need stabbed through the heart with a chainsaw.

matty114 · 6 Mar 2013 at 21:44

Thanks EA! :mad:

Shadowness · 6 Mar 2013 at 21:53

It's at moments like these that I actually praise the work done by pirates/crackers.

You should not be having all these stupid problems to play a SINGLE player game!!

privateeye0 · 6 Mar 2013 at 22:09

LOOL watching the Gamespot Live Play and they are tearing this to shreds. Glad I didn't jump in for this. Gonna wait a year until it's cheap and fixed

Baplad · 6 Mar 2013 at 22:26

Im on EU West 1 if anyone else fancies creating a priv multi game

Lovejoy! · 6 Mar 2013 at 22:37

where's the cheapest place to get this and which vpn are you using to unlock early?

Swarfega · 6 Mar 2013 at 22:39

Pre-loading is only 200mb. Uh what?

That's just the launcher,

Then it will download the game content files.

Current size in my Origin Games folder it reads - 3.80GB

I got my Key from Green man Gaming and followed this guide to unlock http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/blog/2013...ease-date-and-play-instantly-from-any-region/

It doesn't say but click play and disconnect your VPN at the same time, you can download the game with your own connection.

Edit:
tbh don't get it yet.
