This article is a little more helpful than the Gamewatcher one.

I replaced my Settings.coc file content with the text in the article and after turning all the graphics settings down low, got the game to run on my i5 potato and aged GTX video card.

Unfortunately the screen goes black when building roads, and there is no water rendered, so while the game runs, you have difficulty laying roads, and can't do anything that involves the rivers - like placing a sewage outlet.

So I'm out for a newer video card that the game will recognise...

You need to set the graphics settings to a minimum, if the error does not close and does not allow you to enter the graphics settings in the game, then you need to go to the folder %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\Settings.coc and open this file Settings.coc and in it you need to add the following:
