SimCity V (2013) - screens/artwork and information

Is anyone esle disconnected from the servers?

I'm still playing in the same region as all of you while being disconnected.
I wasn't but then I visited someone elses city and now the loading screen back to mine is taking ages.
if you log off before your reconnected the game will ask you to roll your city back btw :rolleyes:

It's pretty stupid how they claim all the calculations are done by EA servers and thats why your forced to play online but you can be disconnected and everything carries on the same , plots grow etc

sounds like BS to me , whilst the global stuff might be your actual city appears to be calculated by the client and it's not a valid reason for forcing everything to be online

we could have had a much better time running an OCUK region as a private server and having a map with like 124plots or something cool with enough room for most people

Who has the massive 50k city in OcUK #2 ?

Getting soooo many murderers and arsonists coming into my city :p Nearly bankrupted me, had to get 3 bonds out to be able to cope with the costs and getting emergency services up and running with upgrades.

Also I really wish / hope there was / is an option to restart a plot, as I've made so many mistakes since it's my first attempt and I'd love do-over so I can do it again with the stuff I've learned.

JonnyBmac, are those screenshots really the latest Sim city? they look awful.

they don't look maxed out he might have the lighting and stuff turned down

that's maxed settings close up from a shot I took yesterday of a plot bug ( 2 buildings one plot) , I cant take one zoomed out since the game wont load my city :@

that blur when you zoom in is horrible and annoying

Can the blur be turned off? It looks like a horrible design decision - akin to the BF3 blue filter.

I don't think so
these are the graphics settings maxed out apart from the fps limit.

the filter option is just for different colour filters like sepia etc threes at least a dozen different ones
 
Played this a lot today. I'm getting loads of weird graphics glitches, not sure if that's because I'm on a mac using parallels running windows 7.

Enjoying it so far, but I'm not like the restricted server access.

Also, if I started playing on Europe Western 1, and that server is busy and I join another....it makes me do the tutorial all over again! Is that how it's meant to be?!

You can just exit the tutorial. It's a bit of a pita that it makes you load the tutorial up every time you change region but you can just exit straight out of it and get the normal screen.
 
the problem i have is that im really struggling for space. i have to room yet im needing to expand, its leaving me fighting around 70k pop..

expand up :P

you need to place parks and crap around to make the area desirable to middle/high wealth and they make skyscrapers

i'm at around 50+k with tons of room and barely any residential
 
Anyone else having massive traffic issues from the entrance to your city? I'm low on coal now cus the damned trucks can't get through the endless traffic to import coal.

That's 3 cities with traffic completely covering our entrances >< Surely this must be a bug? I've got streetcars and a crapload of buses shuttling people around.

What options does tilt shift give you? Cos that's whats causing the blur.
