Account Avatar wont show up in game

★★★★ Novice

Hi Guys,

 

The advisor in the support chat told me to post this issue here, maybe someone else might have an idea. I assume this was where I was supposed to post this. 

 

My Avatar is not showing up in Simcity itself, It just has the default blue silhouette with the "?" in it. I have tried resetting my DNS, leaving my cities, changing servers, shutting down my computer... Even after all of that, SimCity is still not picking up on my avatar that is in my Origin account. I see it when I log into it via my web browser or the Origin Program for your PC - It shows up there no problem at all.

 

My Origin Account is KiwiSpyGirl

 

Any ideas what is happening?

I think it just takes a pretty long amount of time to get updated. I didn't get to see my avatar for several weeks when I first started, but it's now showing up properly ingame (and it's pretty rad too).

If anybody in the community has an idea or a suggestion about this, please share it with us. Standard smile

You know what? If EA is not able to help us, alow easy modding and fix issues, maybe they should go back to Steam. EA should worry nly about developing games and let a bigger community do the rest.

Unfortunately it seems that avatars in SimCity no longer changes since late 2014. I've changed it once after that and saw no changes for months, then I switched to another one and it still displayed my pre-2014 avatar to this date. Apparently this is not the server being slow, a bigger problem/glitch must lie behind this.

Hi  there Mayors, same issue here. I played the trial version first and then bought the game so my hypothesis is that the purchase is stacking up on the demo causing this glitch to happen. It'll be good to know if you all downloaded the free trial first too.

Hi @MysticalForge and @Ur-NxT-1

Yes indeed, for an unknown reason player avatars have not been updated for approximately two or more years.
