Hey All!

Today a patch was deployed in preparation for new content, and it appears to have some unintended issues involving crashing and inability to load saves. We're investigating them urgently and hope to have a resolution quickly.

In the meantime, you can help us a TON by posting a full bug in this thread, or forum. Please include as much relevant information as possible. This helps us to reproduce the issues and identify the problem - leading to a quick fix.

Thanks so much for your patience and support!

The screen size fix let’s me now load games (Xbox) but the screen set at max so doesn’t show the edges of the game.
Also when you load you end up in debt if playing unlimited money, to fix that you can save and reload then select unlimited money, soil, oil/ore etc.
The game does seem laggy tho and I’m guessing there’s more issues but I haven’t come across any yet.
 
XBox One.
Positive: I set the screen safe size to max and yes it loaded, however the game is virtually unplayable with this configuration. but it sounds like the devs are on the way to cracking it :)

Negative: I've lost all my saved cities :(
 
Can you guys please try this and let us know if it worked?

- Change screen area to MAX (System > display) on PS4
- In game in options > Misc make screen safe area to max (Xbox)

Hi TinyWiking

I'm on the xbox, and that worked for me. Obviously, and I assume, a temporary fix- especially as my screen area is now a little too large for the TV (not that it renders it unplayable or anything...just given the choice, I'd have it slightly less)

But letting you know it worked, as requested!

I have a problem after new patch. When I want place tree next to road and buildings, the tree disappears. Do You have same problem? I play on XBox One. When I destroy road or building it's appear.
 
Taxes now also seem to adjust themselves in the background. You can set one of the taxes to 10%, leave the budget panel and when you return to the panel the same tax has automatically changed to 11% or 9%. This is a massive bug which I've noticed several times after the update.

EDIT: I investigated this issue a bit more, and it appears that my suspicion of taxes adjusting themselves was wrong. The likely issue is the tax sliders responding to input on the directional stick immediately after entering the budget panel by holding the triangle button combined with pointing the directional stick toward the budget icon. This command does in some instances get picked up by the tax sliders before the budget panel view is loaded on screen, thereby leaving the impression that a tax adjustment was not performed by the player even though it was. So in this case the real issue appears to be some kind of hypersensitivity in the control input.

Just a heads up, I updated my previous post (see edit in the quote) in order to reflect my latest findings on the tax panel issue. Something would indicate it's a control sensitivity issue rather than a bug.

I've noticed too.

Eventually I couldn't resist buying the DLC even though the bugs had scared me off at first. So far I noticed two minor annoyances with the Green Cities content (PS4).

  • Icons symbolizing policies and specializations introduced in Green Cities do not appear above districts to which they have been applied. Fortunately, the policies and specializations do get enforced in gameplay, as they should. Icons symbolizing policies and specialization icons from before Green Cities still appear above districts correctly.
  • The new sportshall gymnasium health service building sounds like the medical clinic when zoomed in close to it, which seems wrong.

Another thing worth a mention:
  • While the new tree brush tool is great for populating larger areas with vegetation, the placement of just single trees and bushes worked much better before. Essentially the precision in placing just single trees and bushes has been compromised considerably. Ideally, it would be nice to have a combination of both, i.e. the new brush tool for larger areas of vegetation and the old cursor for precise placement of single trees and bushes.

And just to elaborate on an aforementioned point - since it's so glaring. Changing building styles for a district causes zoned buildings in neighbouring districts to randomly abandon and respawn in a never ending loop. In case you might want to test this yourself, i'd strongly recommend switching auto-save off momentarily, because the bug can make a city collapse in a matter of minutes.

Same problems, they really need to fix this, specilly needs a hot fix for the fact that buildings get stuck in a loop as mentioned by Nielsen. I'm on PS4 Pro

Also seem to be a problem with the unlimited money not working correctly in previous saves, it automaticly turns it off and poof bankrupt.
 
I play on PS4 and haven't had old save issues but can list few that are already mentioned and probably one game-breaking no one spoke of before.

First, as a someone who is obsessed with meticulous detailing of various areas in my cities, precision tree placing, or lack of it, is driving me crazy. Sure, I salute the option for a tree brush to create forests easily, but it shouldn't come with the sacrifice of precision placement.

Second, endless loop of building spawn/de-spawn. It's already explained in the thread, i have nothing new to add here.

And finally, most blatant bug that can easily screw up new majors is that when you enable cross-style in a regular game (no-cheat), the service buildings that are supposed to be locked behind the milestone are readily available. For example, I've built a University when my city was only 1200 people big. I haven't even had high school milestone unlocked. Same goes for other service buildings that shouldn't be available at current milestone (Hospital, Police HQ, whatever the name of a bigger fire house is, and so on...)
 
I just wanted to drop in and thank you all for your patience and helping us fix these issues. I just posted some work-arounds for the major issues, and a request for help when it comes to this "dezoning" issue: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...r-console-issues-loading-screen-more.1149279/

Thanks again! We've got fixes incoming, along with the new content we're announcing very shortly ;) not that you all haven't figured it out already, haha

There is one thing I’m still trying to figure out (outside of why release the Christmas DLC at the end of January) it’s why aren’t Concerts and Pearls from the East mentionned in the season 2 pass?
