When trying to play Cities: Skylines, the launcher is giving me the error message "Update failed: A launcher update has failed. The action failed because we could not fetch metadata about this resource. This means our servers are having hiccups or your internet connection is not stable." Ive tried to verify the steam game files but they all checked out, if I uninstall the launcher and reinstall the most updated launcher would that fix it. I am on the older side and not really computer savvy. If any of the mods or devs could help me fix this problem, i would be very grateful. if you could also provide me with links or forums to help fix this problem that would be a great help too.
 
You can bypass the launcher by following these instructions:


Download the attached cities.bat.zip file

Extract from it cities.bat

Place the .bat file in your game's Steam folder (In the same place as your cities.exe)

Right click the game in your Steam library

Go to properties

Select Launch Options

Copy and Paste. cities.bat %command% into the input box

X out of that screen

Run the game
