    Make sure they are connected via road and rail. I just started a new mining city only to discover that the roads don't connect to my other cities so ill need to choose a different location.

    Road and rail?

    They're connected by road, so that ain't enough?

    Edit: got it working. It just takes time. The cities are only connected by road so both road and rail aren't required. You need strip almost all it the possible options for the workers on your first city and make sure they match the type of wealth jobs you are targeting in the other city. Build it and they will come...

    When this game is actually working, it's fantastic.

    i've spent all morning building a new city. Servers crashed and kicked me out at 2pm and now i can't get back into the server that my city is on.

    This has to be the worst set-up for a game ever.

    Are the region's working properly yet? Last night my industrial city wasn't fulfilling the freight orders of my other city. (They are connected by road)

    Been on all day and I have the fear of logging off. I have a private region but I cant figure out how to invite friends? (as it said when I created it, invite only) Anyone know?

    Also anyone know how to do a screenshot, I have a fantastic city that is bulging at the seems, over 110k population and growing. University, Airport and huge oil/petrol plants

    Just tap C. You should go into options first and tick the option that disables the UI when taking a screenshots.

    I can say with 99% certainty that won't happen.

    How will it run on my computer through, I can't upgrade my laptop, I'm stuck with the video card I have, is a pass sufficient?

    It probably will tbh. The game isn't that intensive, but it is a SIM so I'd personally prefer it looking really nice. I have everything maxed in my game.

    I haven't had any issues at all playing on EU servers today. It's the tiny city size that bugs me way more. Running out of space so quick is just a pain in the ass.


    I'm Maximilian002 on Origin if anyone wants some company in a region.

    I was having that issue too, but I discovered something yesterday (discussed a few pages back) where I've used only a tiny portion of my map and I'm already very close to 100K.

    EDIT: Already have a city with 200K+
    EDIT 2: Join our Region "Servers Busy" on EU West 2.

    I'll need an invite - because helpfully EA haven't included a search function.

    They really thought this through, didn't they?

    Europe West 2 has no queue at the moment.

    I've started a region called "Boards". I'll keep it private and invite only.

    2 is full for me and EU West 1 has slots but won't let me connect for nearly two hours!

    Hmmm- I have a feeling you get some kind of priority if you already have a game going on a server. I got in straight away

    Maybe they've increased the server capacity. Alternatively, capacity is constantly varying. Not sure. I've had very little issues since launch.

    Just had a quick game of Tropico 4 while i couldnt connect and OMFG the freedom was a joy to play.
    I know i keep banging on about it but the number one issue for me with SC is the tiny map size,its actually shocking how wrong they got it.

    I can never seem to find an empty city to claim in a region . . . also very annoying that you cannot claim abandoned cities due to not owning certain in game content.

    They will definetly increase the map size, but I just hope that they dont try and charge us.
