I recently purchased a new game Cities XL 2011 as I’m quite a fan of city builders.
After the install I hit a major snag, When pressing the “Play” button my game minimised then crashed. I was able to play the tutorials but after a short period the game closed and warned me that my demo was over! Note that if only 3 tutorials are showing you are playing the demo mode. The game actually has about 10 if you’ve activated it successfully.
I’ve been reading the forums for about 5 days now and only once did I read about this possible cure.
It is pretty simple. For my I had AVG (antivirus) installed. Although recently they had swapped thier product to a paid one which meant the antivirus no longer scanned my computer I had left it installed. So even though it wasnt running somehow the software prevented my computer from activating my game online. Which meant the game assumed it was a demo.
The Fix:
- Uninstall your antivirus software
- Load your Cities XL 2011, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REINSTALL
- If that fails reinstall Cities XL 2011
- Reinstall antivirus software (or wise up and dont open email attachments that are less than 1mb or from strangers, check the url of website links before clicking, DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER! Use chrome
its so fast) - Enjoy your game!
Hope this helps!
