[Megathread] SimCity 5

[Pachycrocuta]

The godzilla will make a beeline for your trash and eat it, destroying things in its way. Not sure how it is started, though the first time I saw one was when someone put up a ferry building. And I think if there are enough germs going around, zombies will appear from your clinics.

is it possible to play on US servers from EU? when i try and play it just comes up with a black screen

[-aiko-]

is there any draw backs to playing on a NA server from EU? i cant imagine lag will be a massive problem here.

Not sure...only one way to find out! If it's bad we can try somewhere else. Though to my understanding the servers only periodically save your data, everything else is done client side. I could be wrong.

I was able to get into Europe West 2. I'll set one up there instead. Editing the other post to reflect that

I recall the community manager saying that all the servers are in the same place, they're just named by real world geographical locations to help players sort themselves.

i saw some people complaining in the old thread about having to do the tutorial every time, if you start the tutorial, you can just exit to main menu to skip.

Sorry just saw that and accepted it. EU West 2 yup. I'll invite to the region
Edit: Actually I think you can just join if you filter by friend when you are looking for a game. Region is called MMO-C

I'm just waiting for friend request approval while I run through the tutorial again since I don't normally play on EU2.

I tried sending you an invite but it said I couldn't at this time...hopefully not more server troubles...I'll close the game and relog and see if you can get in

More bloody server troubles! lol
Tried to invite both of you and it said I couldn't at this time...whenever you get a chance try joining by filtering by friends when searching for games

[Deleted]

let me try creating a game and see if you can join that.

[Samoflange]

Origin won't let me "go online" so I can't chat using the Origin overlay. You'll have to throw out invites for us to join that region since it's private.

yeah, the invites are not working though ;(

it just gives an error saying the invitation could not be sent.

[-aiko-]

Keep getting the error "Could not send your invitation at this time. Please try again."

I restarted origin and the game and I can chat now.

the region has been remade as public for now, add aikyo to find the region easier

[Samoflange]

Region chat isn't working in-game, I guess they completely disabled it for the time being D:
