Game Crashes (always) at New Game Loading - Crashs Logs:

[Drooping Ears]

Specs:
- Ryzen 5 2600X, GTX 3060ti (8gb), 16gb RAM, Win 10, updated drivers.
- Graphics: At minimun, all disabled for the last log.
- Logs location: user/appdata/locallow/colossal order/cities skylines ii/logs/sceneflow.log

Seems to be a Out of Memory error so I checked usage:
- RAM usage at crash time: 10 out of 16gb.
- GPU memory usage at crash time: 3 out of 8 gb.

The Error in the Logs:

{Female_Ddmo_Body Mesh} [ERROR] Error when initializing batch 0 for Female_Ddmo_Body Mesh

With Mid graphics the log was in MALE instead of FEMALE.
(don't know what it means)

I don't know how to make it playable. I have tried updating all drivers, Windows, restarting, checking files integrity, reinstalling the game. Nothing works.

On my PC using high texture settings the game typically uses 3gb of RAM and 8.5 GB of VRAM, so it seems you should have enough available.

Here are a few things to try:

1. Verify your game files to make sure those files are not corrupted
2. Restart your computer. Does the game crash in the same place?
3. Run a memory test tool to see if you have a bad RAM stick. For example: memtest.org
4. Make sure you have allowed Windows to use virtual memory (it will page out to disk if memory gets full)

It's possible that this is a bug.

Hi! Thank you.
Done all of that.

I was allocating virtual memory, but it was capped to 2gb somehow.
I expanded it to 10gb. and I then the game used less memory and the virtual memory file expanded to 6gb. being used by it.
Now it doesn't crash anymore.
Thank you again!
