New SimCity Problems Reported After 2.0 Patch

April 24, 2013

On Monday, Maxis and EA took SimCity offline to implement their 2.0 patch, which introduced a few new features and fixed a large number of issues. Of course, as patches tend to go on occasion, this one caused a number of unforseen problems.

Users have flocked to reddit and EA's forums to report numerous new bugs that suddenly appeared post-patch. These new issues include unexplainable sewage overloads (which is funny, yet gross), traffic errors, new building construction issues, loading errors, and various audio difficulties.

Neither EA nor Maxis has commented on these new problems yet, but I'm sure some programmer somewhere in one of the buildings is slamming his or her head on a keyboard.

I've been a writer since I was five, but I came to the gaming realm a little late--post college. However, I've well made up for that ever since I took over my husband's PlayStation 2. I've been writing about and reviewing games since 2005, and can currently be found writing for P laystation LifeStyle and Strategy Guide Reviews on a regular basis.

I'm a professional writer and aspiring yoga teacher by day, but a I'm a game-loving, comic-reading, fantasy book-obsessing geek 24-hours a day.
