wow, this looks so awesome, this must be the reason the cities are so small, the tech call only process so many of these units. maybe in a couple years the expansion will ramp this up back to full speed.

so cool.

I think EA is in the process of killing my second favorite computer games series, since they already killed command and conquer.

The game has a lot of fun bits but it could be so much better, the crazy bastards killed it. maybe the good programmers will leave and help mod this into what it should have been.

Why is this version of simcity 20 times better then the normal SimCity we have?

[MoYceyYDnB]

Agreed :-( I want a Command and Conquer 5

[EvilotionCR2]

We want that region editor!

[prototype102010]

close... it may be that or it may be that normal computers are having trouble running it now, you make the citites any bigger and even powerful gaming rigs wouldn't be able to keep up with it. that's probably the reason but no one seems to understand that...

[meneken17]

the difference between this and an indev version?

no debug commandline

[meneken17]

but no word about completly failing path finding...

even the sevage fails at path finding and crashes the infrastructure...

[Qaletaqa]

And you think EA has no say in what happens to the game?

[Samantha Noble]

They had to add more servers so more people could play before they focus on the bugs. The crashes and stuff were due to server lag. Watch this guy quil18 let's play of it.
