Describe your issue
Game does not load when I hit PLAY on Steam Library, but it says that it's running. And when I hit STOP, it's stuck on STOPPING.

What is your game version?
I'm not sure, as I can't load the game

What expansions do you have installed?
Mass Transit, Industries

What mods are you using?
I deleted all my mods in order to solve this. No luck.

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Whenever I hit 'PLAY' on Cities Skylines in my Steam Library, it says that it's running, but the game doesn't load. And when I hit 'STOP', it remains stuck on 'STOPPING'. I have tried restarting the PC, and logging back into Steam, but it's the same issue. This has only started recently because I have played the game a lot on the same PC

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.

You can bypass the launcher by following these instructions:

- Download the attached cities.bat.zip file
- extract cities.bat from it
- Place the .bat file in your game's Steam folder (In the same place as your cities.exe)
- Right click the game in your Steam library
- Go to properties
- Select Set Launch Options
- Copy and Paste cities.bat %command% into the input box
- Select Ok
- Run the game

Sorry for that problem!
