I spent several hours reading bug messages similar to mine and trying the suggestions made to resolve the problems but nothing worked. One of the moderators told me that I had to create a ticket.

I am having the same issue and I have not come up with a solution. I have deleted all saved game files, reinstalled the game multiple times, and tried to restart my computer at least 10 times. The game would launch but its just clouds(which are moving) and water. If I scroll with the mouse I can zoom into the water but unable to play game.
 
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\Saves

Going to this in your file explorer and deleting the last auto save (or in my case every save game file) WORKED! One of them must have been corrupted and stopping it from loading correctly. Hope this helps you!
 
First, let's eliminate mods, as until they are updated by their authors they can cause problems after any new game patch. Please add --disableModding to the game's Steam launch options. Then start a new test city - do you still get these crashes then?

If so, please try this: Rename the "Cities Skylines II" folder in your C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order (to whatever you want) and then start the game. To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

The game will create a new clean CS2 folder and if that works it means that something in your original folder is corrupt and preventing the game from starting. Do NOT delete your original folder though as your saves are stored there and if you want to keep playing you'll need to move them over to the new fresh folder!

Let us know if that helps you. Good luck!
 

Andrew T I've already tried everything you suggested. but I think you must not have read what I wrote or the translation is not correct because I specified that I did not have a mods.

but thanks anyway for your suggestion even if it doesn't work for me​
