Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I have this issue since 2 years now and pretty much abandoned the game since then. I can't find a working solution for it., help ! :(
If i remember correctly: one day i uninstalled the game, decided to reinstall the game after a while and i have this issue since then.

**When launching the game via the launcher, the game runs and show up on Win task manager but does not show up on the screen (even tough i can see the Cities: Skyline cursor on my office background and hear the main menu music but not the game itself).***

i have tried everything, verifying game integrity, deleting old saves, fresh install, steam commands ranging from forced windowed mode, forced sizing, bypassing the launcher, reinstalling Visual C++, updating Direct X, Unity, etc...
*Lastest NVIDIA Geforce update (02/28/23) is causing trouble with my system (BSoD) so it's not installed yet. But the Cities: Skyline issue date from way before that update*

If you need additional informations please ask.

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

We see no problem in that game log at all.

If the latest nVidia driver causes a BSoD, I suspect you have a Windows and/or hardware problem that may also be affecting this game!


Please try a **clean** reinstall:

- Remove the game from Steam (uninstall)
- Manually delete all these files and folders, if still there:

...\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities Skylines\
...\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\255710\
...\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines
(first move the /saves/ folder elsewhere to keep your save games)
(To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer)

- Install the game again and see if it runs now.

Good luck with that!
