Summary​

fresh steam install tries to load libary from wrong directory

Expected Result​

The game starts to the main menu

Actual Result​

The game shows blank screen with a white cursor

Steps to reproduce​

A fresh intall of the game on Windows 11, with Steam Build-ID 11558297

Platform​

Steam

Game Version​

1.17.1-f4

Optional​

Description​

In the output_log.txt it states that it cannot load a libary called "libColossalNative" or "ColossalNative" from the folder "Cities_Skylines/Cities_Data/Mono/x86_64/".

The game contains 2 files with ColossalNative in the name under Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\Plugins folder.
Copying the files in the following way fixes the isue for me:
Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\Plugins\x86_64\libColossalNative.so to Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\Mono\x86_64\libColossalNative.so
Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\Plugins\ColossalNative.dll to Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\Mono\ColossalNative.dll

There is no bug of this nature in the game - if there were everyone would get this! Quite why that happened to you I'm not sure.

Make a new Windows user on this computer and log into it with that. Do you get the same problem there?

Before i copied the libaries, i already tried it with a different (new) windows user to the same effect.
I also reinstalled the game from steam, updated Windows and the Paradox launcher with no change.

The game only started after i manually copied the libaries.

Well that is bizarre, I've not seen any similar report in all the years since this game was released. I cannot imagine what could be causing that to you, I am sorry!
