Game Crash

[The Welshman]

Hi All i keep trying to play this but after 5 minutes it crashes. I loved cities 1 but i just cannot enjoy this if it keeps crashing anyone else having the same issue ?

you may need to set a minimum 10000 maximum 10000 pagefile and use an nvme drive. if youre using intel what cpu are you using. this really only works on 11th gen 12th gen and core ultra but not 13th or 14th gen. If on 14th gen there's a fix coming mid august it should fix incorrect voltage request. I wouldn't use my 14th gen pc until then. if you do have 14th gen Id recommend buying a 200 dollar netbook and support indie creators until then.

Sorry - that's not strictly true. I am using an Asus ROG Strix G614JV, which has a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-13650HX, and I haven't seen a single crash of CS2 that I can attribute to the CPU.
I understand that SOME 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs don't play nice with some games, but not all of them, by a long shot.

that's good to hear. it's possible intel 13th gen laptops weren't affected. I have a core ultra 5 125u and I also wasn't affected.

Yes, my understanding is that it is a couple of models of 13th and 14th gen i7 cpus that have issues.
Quoting from community.intel.com of July 22:
"Based on extensive analysis of Intel Core 13th/14th Gen desktop processors returned to us due to instability issues, we have determined that elevated operating voltage is causing instability issues in some 13th/14th Gen desktop processors. Our analysis of returned processors confirms that the elevated operating voltage is stemming from a microcode algorithm resulting in incorrect voltage requests to the processor."
Further, they state:
"Intel is delivering a microcode patch which addresses the root cause of exposure to elevated voltages. We are continuing validation to ensure that scenarios of instability reported to Intel regarding its Core 13th/14th Gen desktop processors are addressed. Intel is currently targeting mid-August for patch release to partners following full validation."
So, a problem, a probale solution, show's over.

It's not that easy.
This only means that the patch is available to those specific partners, but not yet to the consumers.
They still have to implement this patch into the BIOSes they develop and into the OS kernels.
And then the (BI)OS needs to be updated so the patch can be applied on every boot (it does not store it permanently on the CPU).
If a consumer disabled updates, nothing will change on their system.

I have some days where I play for hours with no issue. Others, like today, it crashes constantly. Had been good for a while, not now.

it sounds like a weird question but is it warmer the days it crashes more ?

update for you all so i run an AMD CPU and a 2070 super gfx card temps are all fine it is installed on an NVME drive done verify game files etc just a very strange issue also i dont see many people in game walking around

[matkirdmi]

I have a problem with the quality, my settings are on high and the picture is blurry

[The Welshman]

turn off motion blur

[[S0rry]]

The game should run well with an i7 12700Kf and an RTX4070 Super?

[mikelleh63]

My current city is now crashing every 5 minutes.....think I will quit until next update. The strange part is my game was super stable for weeks, and then all of a sudden constant crashes. This game used to be soothing for me, but now is just frustration.

Mine crashes during initial launch, or if not will crash upon loading my save. At first I thought this was an AMD driver issue but this only happens with CS2. I can play other games with high settings. I will quit this game until this issue is fixed.

To rule this out:
rename
%APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II
to %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II.old
and try again.
