    I totally understand what you mean here. Don't give up but make sure your computer is OK. I burnt one before because of this game (REALLY my old computer couldn't take it. It crashed and crashed until one day it wouldn't even start any more and it was because of cities XL). But you've put so many hours on this city so far. Do what you can. You only need 10 photos. There is enough material already in your city and it is one of the strongest contestants

    Btw, fantastic entry, @raulv87 ! I do really like your Soviet City. Maybe a large statue on that little hill close to the downtown would have given a more direct hint (like Motherland Calls in Kiev or Mother Russia in Volgograd),
    but nonetheless, splendid job (y)

    try this :

    1. Install fraps and run the app
    2. When in game, press home button in your keyboard
    3. And then press screenshot button from fraps

    hope it helps

    Thanks, @kipate! Before I posted my entry I even thought, if I should participate or not :D. I guess I made the right decision

    Hey @XOUSTE ! It is another brilliant city designed by you, my congratulations!
    I do love the sights along the river, it looks very nice! My only critique is that your pictures often are rather oversaturated and a bit dark, one does not recognize that much. I would have wished for two clear shots.

    Hey guys, just wondering. When you say that the contest end at the end of the 31st March, which timezone are you referring to?

    If its my current Perth/Bali timezone, the contest will end in 21 hours.

    Seems like creative photo shots start to come into play as the final contestants began to panic :)

    Few hours to go guys! My laptop's fan is now screaming and has the heat capacity to cook an egg. A fan is the only possible solution to cooling it down now. So excited to see everyones soon. Great entries so far!

    Just under 24 hours from now I will be closing submissions to the contest. You get about 8 extra hours since I will not be up at midnight to officially close the contest.
