Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I have a city "Treverett" that had 100,000 residents and was built prior to the hubs and transport update. I spent a few days updating the mods and it worked fine but I don't think I ever unpaused the game before this issue arose. The other day, I turned the sim time on and the city instantly crashes from 100,000 to 20,000 citizens and it is due to totally out of control crime. The crime window says crime is 225-250% even though there is ample police stations and many open jail cells. I set budgets to 150% for police and tried to use game anarchy to remove crime and criminals to no avail. I haven't done anything to alter the police coverage and nearly every building has the crime icon over it. I used TMPE to clear traffic to see if it was a lack of police cars and that did not do it. The blip for crime reappears instantly after a police car services a location. Even with game anarchy set to "remove criminals and maximize police coverage" the death spiral continues and crime doesn't decrease much at all and the city will not recover even when time is allowed to go on. I have no idea why crime is like this or how to alleviate the issue. I've had several topics on the discussion boards and no one has been able to solve this.

Since I have been diagnosing this city, the game is repeatedly failing to proceed past the launcher now. I've also had several topics on this issue and only a clean install and deleting all hidden files gets around it and only for one or two launches before it returns. I've spent an exhausting amount of time trying to get this game to work, I appreciate any and all help. I love this game but I can't wait for it to freeze with the advent of CS2 so this stops happening.

(Note I think this output log is NOT for this city, but since I can't load the game, I think its the only one I have access to.)

Below is the savegame. It requires the collections from my workshop "Treverett", "Treverett II," "Treverett III," and "Mods."

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.
I can't get the game to go past the launcher now. This output log looks like it is for a different city. I keep getting this problem with the launcher, have tried bypassing it, and only a clean install, deleting all hidden files, and unsubbing to everything from the workshop seems to get past the game quitting to the desktop once the launcher is done. I can't do this every time I want to play the game. When it does work, I struggle to find the cause of the unending crime in the city described above which is public on my steam workshop.

I don't know why it didn't appear above, but I have all the DLCs except Africa I think.

Also note my name on Steam in TheNJDevils30, there is no !. It wouldn't let me use that name here so I had to add !.

Please check your mods against this list:

Make sure to check the tab "Broken"


If you still get this problem after removing or replacing any bad ones, attach here the game's log file:
…\Steam\steamapps\common\CitiesSkylines\CitiesData\output_log.txt

AND the affected save game file. Thanks.

I cannot attach the output log because currently my game does not launch. Since it cannot launch, I cannot get an output log for this city. The one above is for a different city I was hoping to pass time in whilst this one was diagnosed. However, now my game will not launch past the launcher (and hasn't for days) so I cannot change it or anything.

Save Game Workshop ID is 2962227908. This forum won't let me put a direct link or even use the link function in this textbox because it says it is spam. Not sure how else to attach the savegame to this thread. My game is saved to SteamCloud so my local save folder in steamapps is empty.


I did the steps to input cities.bat and cities.bat %command% in the launch options suggested elsehwere. It got me as far as the CO and Paradox logos and then the game disappears back to desktop.

Users with low post counts cannot include links in their posts. This is a forum anti-spam measure. Anything else ought to be okay, just no links.

You can attach the save game here directly, no need to use links.

As for the log, it should be there even if the game fails to launch. Please attach it here too!

Here is the output log. Sorry, my confusion was I wasn't sure if the output log is a "global" thing or if it gets overwritten each time you load a different city. My city with the crime issue was not the last city to be loaded into the game. I am having problems launching the game now so I can't load it in to generate a new output log. Here is the one that I'm stuck with until I get the game to run again.

As you've posted in another thread about that issue, let's continue with it there.

 

[TheNJDevils30!]

I've managed to get back into my Save Game. Since this is the topic on the point of the Crime issue, I'm posting here. Hopefully someone can get to the bottom of it and thank you Andrew for your help so far.

Attached is the Save, the output log, and a screen shot from in game showing the crime rate and placement of the police buildings.
