I wonder if the VRAM craps out. Did you try lower the resolution at all?

Mc Love · 10-12-2015 12:10PM

I didnt yet - yeah it's looking like my spec is too much for some of the newer stuff.

cherryghost · 22-02-2016 10:40AM

Well, the new DLC is out and honestly not worth the money they're asking for. I bought just because I love the game but I have a slight taste of buyers remorse.

Not to say I hate it, the content is great but there's not enough content in it to justify the price tag.

In other news, there's a GREAT map of Dublin to play here:

I bought the game yesterday in the Steam sale. I got up two hours early to play before work today which says how I currently feel about it. My first five cities all died fairly quickly but I think I've cracked it with the sixth one.

Thats cool.

Any chance that there is a savegame of the same map anywhere?

Mars Bar · 29-02-2016 03:44PM

I bought this game and can't even get past planning a decent road.

It's a bit laggy on my Mac too.

Sterling Archer · 29-02-2016 05:47PM

Why whats happening you?

It is rather demanding

Shiminay · 29-02-2016 06:49PM

I picked this up at the weekend along with the 2 expansions and had a bitta fun with it at the weekend. Some useful and some not so useful mods on the "most popular of all time" list on Steam Workshop (roads protractor in particular).

Rush Hour Beta is great

Tourists stay in your city for longer, and if you have hotels near tourist hotspots they'll go there at night.

Guys how do I create zones for anything other than industrial? I want to create a bar & nightlife area. My town looks awfully lacking in things to do currently.

I have the DLC that has the night and day stuff so I'd assume that I have what I need.

errlloyd · 03-03-2016 12:00PM

Use the same draw tool you use to make an industrial zone, but use the blank one (no specialization).

When you've made it click on it, and it should bring you into policies. They're the same as the national policies, but they will be restricted to that zone.

I'd advise legalising weed, boosting park funding and ticking the one that makes it a special entertainment zone.

If you have After Dark, you need to create a District and then assign it either tourist or leisure

Beefy78 · 04-03-2016 07:13AM

But where do I make that assignment? It isn't jumping out at me, I'm sure the right DLC is installed.j

Hyzepher · 04-03-2016 02:26PM

I think you need a town of 5000 before tourism is available and 7500 for Leisure. They are under a new tab in the district section (the icon right of zoning)

After 4 years at the top Football Manager 2012 is no longer my most played game on Steam.

By far one of the best PC games I've ever played. After having not played it for a few months I decided to come back and I'm loving the new updates - especially the night-time and dynamic weather. I may get the deluxe upgrade soon.

cherryghost · 30-03-2016 04:53PM

Jeez thanks for showing me up, now it's confirmed I have no life

Shiminay · 30-03-2016 05:14PM

LOL, 107 hours, that's adorable GB. Does your Mammy only let you play for an hour on the weekends or something? :P

I'm not at all envious of the fact that you seem to have a life

Cities still hasn't broken into my top games list, must go back to it and get properly stuck in, it's very enjoyable.

jamo2oo9 · 30-03-2016 05:26PM

Cherry, you've played DOTA for 177 days in total. Jesus :eek:

More hours than two years' worth of full time work.

errlloyd · 30-03-2016 05:48PM

Shame Xfire is gone, I had some mad stuff clocked on Xfire. 1300 hours of Cod4 ranging from when it came out in November 2007 to win I completed my leaving cert 18 months later. I'd probably be a doctor or something if it wasn't for Cod.

A measly 339 hours on CSGO is first followed by Cities on 183.

I'd accept that if I was a PC gamer to the fullest but I'm not - I have a PS4 & Xbox One as well.

This Fat Girl Runs · 01-05-2016 03:58PM

My city just broke 16,000 citizens but I'm already bored of it and want to start another one. :P I think I like the initial building/planning stages best. So. Should I keep at it or give in and start a new one?

01-05-2016 09:19PM

It could be a good challenge to try to continue to build and see if your initial layout can be scaled up well.

True. My initial layout is challenging enough (i.e messy with no real rhyme or reason!) to try and grow it would be interesting.

I'll stick with it for a while and see what happens.

Mr. CooL ICE · 03-05-2016 03:47PM

Keep it growing. The real challenge is keeping it problem-free as your population grows.

I'm on my 5th city and would have scrapped my previous 4 because they usually had a problem I couldn't be arsed correcting. Each one got progressively better. At the weekend I decided to go back through them for a look to see what I had done so wrong and my very first city actually had the biggest population despite still having around a tile of empty space left. It was a very unhappy, unhealthy population with a horribly congested road and rail system, and every area had something to complain about.

My general goal is to fill all available land mass but have as few problems as possible.

Mc Love · 03-05-2016 03:57PM

Is there any guide for newbies?
