I was previously unable to fully update SimCity, then yesterday it finally finished and launched. After that I tried to open it again, and the initial loading block came up, but never got to the screen to press play and shows "not responding." I looked on another post which said to copy and paste the patched files to the original files and replace them. I did this, but it's still not working.

Turn off EVGA Precision X and launch the game. Seems this is a known issue. I don't know if turning it back on once the game is running causes any problems.
