Summary​

After using steams repair validation, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, I still can not load into the game at all. After it pulls up the paradox game loader from the steam start button, I click on play. And from there it basically loads about 5 minutes before timing out and giving me a blue error screen that the game failed to load.

Steps to reproduce​

Start steam via shortcut. Press play from the steam library> Cities: Skylines 2. Paradox Launcher fires up. I then press play from the menu screen and Skylines 2 launches

Expected Result​

Play the game

Actual Result​

Blue screen that essentially states that the game failed to launch properly

Game Version​

1.3.3f1

First, let's eliminate mods, as until they are updated by their authors they can cause problems after any new game patch. Please add --disableModding to the game's Steam launch options. Then start a new test city - do you still get these crashes then?





If so, please try this: Rename the "Cities Skylines II" folder in your C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order (to whatever you want) and then start the game. To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.





The game will create a new clean CS2 folder and if that works it means that something in your original folder is corrupt and preventing the game from starting. Do NOT delete your original folder though as your saves are stored there and if you want to keep playing you'll need to move them over to the new fresh folder!





Let us know if that helps you. Good luck!
