Contaced SimCity via twitter and all I got back was 'When exactly does this problem occur?' and then 'Thank you for informing us on this situation'. I sent them the link to the crash forums about the number of people getting these problems but to be honest I dont think they even realised people were having this problem and I also dont think they even bother reading these forums. Takes the absolue piss!

Happening to me as well - got 27 hours logged to far. But since yesterday (13 March 2013) I can play maybe 15 minutes on Europe West 6. My city only has 75k people, and the region has 3 other cities. 

 

Can CRTL-DEL out, sound effects still paying, once the freeze occurs.

Anyone find anything on this yet. I was running fine up until the server maintenance today. Now I get about 10 minutes in and this happens. It does not appear to be specific to what I am trying to build but always seems to happen once trying to edit a building or plop a new one down. I have tried a restart and setting compatibility. Has anyone had any luck with anything?

I have played for like 15 minutes on another city (same area), and had no issue so far..

 

When i switched back to my large main city, just matter of minutes before the screen hangs.

 

I'll try my small city with some more time..!

 

Edit: No issue at my smaller town so far, i'll try the big one tomorrow again

Well another patch and another freezed screen.  Will EA ever make a fix that will allow us to play their game..  I can see the money I spent on a game going into their pocket and us getting nothing for it..  Come on EA, help us out here, too many people for this to be our machines.
