I Have already checked all my mods against the list, so as a clean re-install with no mods. Also, I am not able to find the output logs?

As the game does start up to some degree, the log will where as I described, assuming you are on Windows.

Are you finding that Cities_Data folder?

Yes, i am on Windows, and i do see the Cities_Data folder.

Then the log file really should be there! You need to scroll down after all the 'level' files.

If it is really not there though, run cities.exe directly from file explorer. The game won't start up but do you see any error? Does it make an output log then?

Okay, now delete that file and In your Steam Library right-click on this game and choose Properties. In the Launch Options line, paste this in there:

-noWorkshop -disableMods

Does it start? Either way, does it make a new log file?

I don't see the Launch options line.

 

[AndrewT]

It's definitely there ... !

You've done exactly this?

In your Steam Library right-click on this game and choose Properties

Can we see a screenshot of where you get to there?

Found it, the launcher loads into the game. And I'm able to start a new game! I'm afraid if I install mods, the game won't load again. Also, i have the new log file.

 

[Villager4]

Found it, the launcher loads into the game.

If i remove the launch options, my game crashes. Only with about 4 mods enabled, all checked against the list.

 

[Villager4]

Thanks, i got it to work now after disabling some old mods.
