Without online compulsion and several server crashes!

I had originally been looking forward to Sim City 5 and was by all accounts I have read it very disappointed. That is why I, downloaded me here for 10 the predecessor and am quite satisfied. Clear the graphics are not overwhelming, but hey, the game also has 10 years on the hump.
I play the game with NEM i7 and GeForce GTX 680. Win 7 HP 64bit. The Download ran without problems, and the instalation. Sometimes the game goes from easy and you end up on the desktop. For me it happened always na std about the net is aware of the problem and I helped the game in XP Mode to open, which seems to help.
Even so, the crashes were not so bad, because you here so can store whenever you want.
