EA: Problem preventing SimCity playtime 'is almost behind us'

4.6
SimCity developer Maxis says they have reduced game crashes by 92 percent since day one and players have connected and clocked more than 8 million hours in-game.

"I'm happy to report that the core problem with getting in and having a great SimCity experience is almost behind us," Maxis General Manager Lucy Bradshaw states. She says the improvements stem from adding new servers, tinkering with their network and issuing client updates, such as Thursday's removal of "non-critical" gameplay features.

"I had hoped to issue an 'All-Clear' tonight, but there are still some elements coming together," Bradshaw says. "Tonight and tomorrow we'll be monitoring each server and gameplay metrics to ensure that the service remains strong and game is playing great. We need a few more days of data before we can assure you that the problem is completely solved and the game is running at 100 percent."

TakeTheDamnPiLL This is why u stick to console gaming sometimes.


In some cases I guess so.


I suppose, I feel PC gaming is more stable though, for some reason.

It looks great, I don't think it's at a full 100% though by means of working.


I don't think so either, from all the negative hype it has gotten..
