Patch number three for SimCity Societies has finally been released, and while a lot of people are still reporting all kinds of trouble this one seems to have done the trick for me. I’ve only had two crashes since the patch was installed, and I know exactly what caused both and how to avoid them. Under normal play, the game is smoother than ever (though still a bit choppy at even lower graphical settings). Unfortunately, I had to reinstall the game to get it to work properly and ended up losing my awesome small-town/futuristic city in the process. ;_; I’ll have another post, with screenshots, once I get a decent city going again.
If you were at all interested in this game but crash reports scared you away, now might be the time to give it a try. You can pick it up for around $30 pretty much anywhere, and it has my vote as best SimCity game ever… when it’s not crashing. There’s even an expansion planned that hopefully won’t break anything. If we’re lucky, it might even fix some remaining issues.
