Tardville update.

[Kenadian]

...whereas I had no problems with Gambling but I had a pretty clean city with a lot of Medium Land Value and two Ferry Terminals right at the waterfront where I placed my Casino's.

I have been having issues with my city for the last few days basically since day two on tardville. It started out by every 2 hrs or so in a big play session where it would crash and state that processing in your city has stopped or cant process at this time. I then must roll back the city and loose various amounts of time in work. And now sometimes its wont load at all just hangs loading. And its too the point if I do any semi major work this will happen. Searched google and it seems this is a fairly common problem maxis has yet to fix.

Yeah, got them as well, gave my new city 10m which then diappeared and had to roll back. I'm now down 10m. Also, for some reason all public facilities closed down because they needed the relevant departments on my city, despite them being available else where.

Not had this once. But something I noticed and confirmed just now is I can't see either the Solar Farm or Arcology in our region. And I'm assuming you can't see the great work Arcology in the North either? I'm guessing you are only able to see it if connected by road or rail?

So I'm assuming this only benefits the cities connected too. That makes sense I suppose but I should at least be able to see a great work? I can't see what's in that screenshot either in Region view or in the overview before you join a game. Weird.

Where are the Brothels???

 

[mondo]

The arcology is really buggered up. I've essentially 'cut the ribbon' three times on it and had to do the whole providing power, water and workers twice and I'm having to do the workings thing again. It's proper f*cked up.

 

[Kenadian]

I've noticed a few times now that I've not been connected to EA Servers and I'm wondering if this is the issue? All it does if give you a small alert but often times you keep playing unless you see the alert as if nothing happened.

I think the more we play the more bugs we're going to find folks.

i have renamed my city north korea as it is fully broken trafic goes no where and i have gone broke many times but the acro did get built so i think its time for a new city tomorrow

Well so far so good, I may have fixed my processing problem I deleted my entire user fold inside the simcity directory. And have been playing since without a crash even after I did some major renovations to city.

In my next howto I will be demonstrating how to loose 200,000 people from your population. LOL I dont know what happened but I was at 350,000 now I'm at 150,000, wtf. All I did was add some police fire and health by redoing a road and moved the university away from my industrial section into center of town. Which showed as increasing land value for high wealth which was in demand.

Ok I've been hitting bugs now. Rolling back my city, then saying it wasn't processing and could we try and fix it but youll have to go back to the main menu then when i go back in it was how it was in the first place an hour before it rolled me back the first time... wtf.

Also the whole trade thing just doesnt seem to be working. even with no traffic issues (every road is a streetcar avenue) i just go broke as soon as my population hits 100k. Incredibly frustrating... :icon_rolleyes:

 

[Kenadian]

This fucking game has pissed me off so much today that I'm not even sure if I want to play until I read that these bugs are being addressed.

I joined your area little P and was about 3hours in when the game kicked me back to menu and lost everything I'd done, and I mean everything!

It's been pulling this sh1t the past 2 days so I'm giving it a rest for now.

Yeah this game is so in beta stages yet they released it anyway and held firm in there high pricepoint. I had hoped it had gotten better with 2.0 patch when you guys got it last week but nope. Its still just as buggy as last month when they released it and I got it. Only to fix one big bug and cause another, etc. I cant believe recycling still breaks after they even achnowledged it as a bug and said it was fixed. And it seems any travel service is super inefficient I had one streetcar station full upgraded with 53minutes wait time. I had 100% street car roads. I added a second maxed out streetcar depot and population coincidentally soared then hours later when I rechecked they had 103minute wait time. WTF.

 

[Dark_magnoblade]

patch 2.0 isnt out yet well not that i have seen on the sim city fourm that is also i vote we nuke tardtown and start new tomorrow

 

[Kenadian]

I had a similar issue in that all my traffic was stuck on nothing on one side of the city. Recycling, Police, Fire, and Shipping were all stuck in traffic on what were essentially "Green" Roads from a traffic jam standpoint.

I quit the game and checked back a few hours later only to see whatever the problem was, resolved?

This is by far the most buggy game I've ever played in my life. I understand bugs happen but normally they cost you seconds or even minutes; this game takes away hours worth of work.

 

[Dark_magnoblade]

i just razed my city to the ground and started with dirt roads then the fucking game booted me out to the main screen so i said fuck it

 

[Kenadian]

OK so get this, my City that I was complaining about getting wiped out is mostly back to the state it was before getting wiped out, wtf?

I think there's not only an issue with the Servers but syncing them to the Cloud and the delay is what's causing these crashes and roll backs in our games.

I still think using slower speed is the best option not only because it seems more stable but also because you lose much less should an issue occur on EA's end which we're starting to learn is a certainty.

I hate to say "I told you so".... But I'm going to. I told you so. So there.

Still, there is a good game under all this so I don't regret buying it.

 

[Kenadian]

I never said there were no issues little P, I only stated I'd experienced none.

...but then again, Wappy and I were playing on the slowest speed and everyone else was playing on higher speeds. Once I started using higher speeds issues started popping up almost immediately.

I wonder if there is a huge increase in bandwidth uploaded to EA the faster you go? I also wonder how ISP's affect this upload with a Region that has variable upload from 1MB all the way up to 10MB and beyond?

 

[little P]

It's still your fault. But I still love you.

Anyway it'll all be alright later. I'll be on TS from 8pm GMT.

Get on now phuker!
