0 population

[Hexcaliber]

I started a new game on two rivers, connected to the highway set out some roads, zoned rci, connected water, and energy but there is 0 population; buildings are being created but it seems to be bugged. The city is losing money, the population happiness icon is showing an orange unhappy smiley. I went into a negative balance and was offered a bail out loan but nothing is changing. I exited the game reloaded the map that did nothing, I checked the roads and they are not one way, preventing people from moving in, I even upgraded the roads into the city into four lane highway and still no change, although I did notice I have no traffic in the city.

Should mention my pc is above the min specs running an I7 4790k with 16 gig of memory , 980 GtX yada yada and I purchased the deluxe version should that matter.

I have the same problem but I am using mac.

 

[tux4ever]

Any solution? Do you want more info like specs. etc.?

We have not been able to reproduce this yet at the office. If you can take a save of the situation and share that with us, it would help a lot!

 

[tux4ever]

Do you want a save game?

 

[Co_Karoliina]

Yes please! If you can share it via Dropbox and private message me or send it by email to company@colossalorder.fi

Thank you for your help!

I actually had the same problem but the it eventually sorted itself out while waiting a while and people started to move in, before I lost all my money

 

[Co_Karoliina]

Email received, thank you! We are now looking at the save.

Same thing happened here. I've a laptop above sys req too, but I don't get population. Some houses in residential show up, but they're all empty.

On the starting map tile, you have two highway ramps coming in. One of these is for incoming traffic and the other for outgoing. Make sure these are not only connected to your city, but connect to each other through the city, so you do not have two separate cities with one having only incoming and one only outgoing ramp access. If you already have the ramps connected but the issue still persists, let me know!

Oh yeah, you're right! Sorry to have bothered you!
