Citie Skylines2 execution error

[gamzzzzza]

Hi all, I bought cites skylines2 on steam about a week ago. I was enjoying the game well until yesterday, but suddenly got into trouble trying to run it today.
When I run the game, the loading screen should pop up and then my city screen. But it doesn't even pop up the loading screen, only the picturesque sky screen.
I can't do anything on this sky screen, and it doesn't respond when I press all the keys. Only screen capture.
I deleted the game from steam and downloaded it, and it's still the same even if I downloaded the paradox launcher again.
No matter how much I search for it, it's hard to find anyone who's experienced an error like this, so I don't know how to fix it.
I really want to play the game, but I can't. Please solve it as soon as possible.

This is a common enough problem with the latest patch that they made a post about it. On steam under announcements it's one of the latest ones, titled "Our Tips to Fix". I personally haven't had it happen but as far as I know it can be triggered by things like corrupt save files and mods that haven't been updated for the latest patch.

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!
