[Mannen150]

Information​

I have disabled all mods​

Yes

Required​

Summary​

Game will not load past launcher without -noWorkshop. The game executable starts, a black screen appears, then the game terminates.

Expected Result​

That the game starts, the Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive logos appear, and you get into the Main Menu.

Actual Result​

The game terminates after being stuck on a black screen after the launcher.

Steps to reproduce​

The issue occurs when pressing "Play" on the launcher.

Platform​

Steam

Game Version​

1.17.0-f3

Optional​

Description​

I can't even get to the Main Menu without enabling -noWorkshop, which also means that I can't even enable Skyve in order to help fix the issue. I also tried verifying game files, but it made no difference.

I understand that some mods will get broken by the patch and that you will experience issues with savefiles, graphical glitches, etc. but I cannot even get to the Main Menu.

I also noticed that in the logs, at 15049ms, there is a stack overflow warning, if it is relevant in any way.

Please check against this list of Broken and incompatible mods:

[Cities Skylines] Broken & Incompatible Mods - Patch 1.17.1-f4

docs.google.com

Also think about that you are running your game on a laptop.. with only 16 GB RAM whereas your GPU takes 6 GB RAM.

Please consider to increase your page file.

To increase the page file on your computer, you can follow these general steps. Please note that the specific steps may vary depending on the operating system you're using.

1. Open the System Properties: Right-click on the "My Computer" or "This PC" icon on your desktop and select "Properties." Alternatively, you can press the Windows key + Pause/Break key to open the System Properties window directly.
2. Access Advanced System Settings: In the System Properties window, click on the "Advanced system settings" link located on the left-hand side. This will open the System Properties dialog box.
3. Open the Performance Options: In the System Properties dialog box, click on the "Settings" button under the "Performance" section. This will open the Performance Options dialog box.
4. Access Virtual Memory Settings: In the Performance Options dialog box, navigate to the "Advanced" tab and click on the "Change" button in the "Virtual memory" section.
5. Modify the Paging File Size: In the Virtual Memory dialog box, you'll see a list of drives and their corresponding paging file sizes. By default, the paging file is set to "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives." If you want to manually adjust the paging file size, uncheck this option.
6. Increase the Paging File Size: Select the drive for which you want to increase the paging file size and choose the "Custom size" option. Enter a higher value for the "Initial size" and "Maximum size" fields. The values are typically measured in megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). You can use the same value for both fields or set a higher maximum size to allow for more flexibility.
7. Set the New Paging File Size: After entering the desired values, click on the "Set" button to apply the new paging file size.
8. Restart your computer: To ensure the changes take effect, restart your computer.

After following these steps, your page file should be increased, providing additional virtual memory for your computer to use when necessary. Keep in mind that allocating a large paging file can consume disk space, so it's important to ensure you have enough free space on the drive where the page file is located.

 

[Mannen150]

This is not about page file. My saves can run well within the limits of my RAM and my page file. Plus, I should be able to load into the Main Menu, even though I was way outside limits. The real loading does not start until you start up a savegame.

I appreciate the help, but I honestly think it is something else that is causing it. Perhaps the log reveals anything?

You can unsubscribe from broken mods in the Steam Workshop, before you get into the game.
