Crashes to desktop

[Xamurai]

Apart from 1 rare crash, the game never crashed. Now it it crashes often to desktop.
Is there any faulty graphic option or does mod's let it crash?

I am using only the basics. No despawn, traffic, and line tool

There are a number of Mods that are likely to crash the game for you. If you have Skyve, it will tell you which ones have been identified as causing problems. If you haven't got Skyve, you can download it. Just search for Skyve.

Xamurai literally said which Mods he uses ;) And none of them actually causes problems, none of them is marked as incompatible, attention required or whatever else Skyve shows.

So his problem must be something different.
Without any further information about the hardware it's hard to figure out.

My best guess is: overheating - maybe because of bad air conditioning in the room where the computer is located, or overheating because he has an intel CPU 13th or 14th gen and not yet updated his BIOS (in case an update is available at all).

I disabled all my mods and started a fresh game. Still keeps crashing to desktop. Lucky to get 10 minutes of play before each crash.

I've found a mod called "Simple Mod Checker Plus", and that, along with not using ANY Mods that are marked as unreliable, and I haven;t had a genuine crash in ages. I always take not of Mods loading, and make sure i don't actually kick off from the game menu into the game until everey one of them is complete (I've found a couple that always appear to need to be loaded manually, which could cause problems if you didn't notice them)

Same crash to desktop for me after certain time, testet also with all mods disabled.

If ppl are using nvidia graphics cards, you should consider looking into uninstalling all the previous drivers. I had a bad driver that caused the game to crash frequently and always thought it was related to the game until other games started to crash also.

Its only 1 game.


Nevertheless I did a session without a crash. This time i loaded my city from the main menu instead from the launcher("resume" button).
seems to be better, more testing is required.

I think one of the issues with the game is that every time we add stuff, updates, mods or whatever, it tends to leave traces...

I couldn't get the new road builder mod working until someone suggested something that I think may actually cure a lot of things.

In the folder - appdata/locallow/collossal order/ cities skylines II/ there are mods folders and in that directory, mod related files.

What was suggested, and what I did, was to delete everything that had mod in it and selectively deleted all the files in the root folder that I didnt know what they were for.

Then I validated the game from steam.

Opening the game I had to reset my settings again, but everything worked!

So I think you need to houseclean now and again...

Yes. I set my saves up to happen automatically every 2 minutes, AND whenever I do ANY new building or put in trees in an area, I manually save the game. It tends to crash less when I do this, but it is annoying to have to do manual saves constantly. I initially started doing this to prevent all of the loss of work I put into the cities, but I find that the game crashes less often when I do this, too.

Every time I think its better, and I get on a roll.......Crash to desktop. Is getting frustrating.

i noticed last week the "paradox launcher" did an update and i haven't been able to load a save game since, crashes back to desktop each time

Simple answer; at this time there is no solution or reliable workaround.
