Errors upon loading

[darrenv007]

Hi,

I have just started to receive the same error, when I load up Cities Skylines 2 via Steam.

See link: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/getting-these-errors-data-layout-mismatch-reading-array-went-wrong-object-reference-not-set-to-an-instance-of-an-object.1671459/

Yes, I have Mods activated and think that its is something there causing the problem.
However I can't get back into the game to disable the mods.

I've tried following the instructions to go to: mods.paradoxplaza.com and unsubscribe from ALL mods, however for some reason i'm having trouble linking my Paradox and Steam accounts. They should already be linked, but my Paradox account shows no games in it.

​Is there another way I can delete the mods from my PC, so I can check to see if the game will work with no mods.

Thanks for any help or instructions.

I may be wrong, but it looks to me that you might have problems with custom assets.
Best is to unsubscribe from all custom assets - or at least those ones which have not been updated since the last patch or even since the last 2 patches.

My assumption is based on those two lines:
* Colossal.IO.AssetDatabase.PrefabAsset:Load()
it literally says that the problem occurs in the asset/prefab loading routine
* NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
at Colossal.IO.AssetDatabase.PrefabAsset+PrefabReferenceResolver.TryResolveReference
here it's the same, there is something off with your asset database, it has resolving problems,

Theory:
It seems that something has been changed ingame recently regarding assets. Maybe because of the region packs. Therefore all mods which have not been updated to those recent changes might have become more or less incompatible and should no longer be subscribed to.
