Updated Region Packs Not Loading

[bmwick]

This started yesterday, when the French and German packs were updated, and then again today with Japan and UK packs. Both times, when the first started to load I got an exception (something about a file or path not being found). When I quit and restarted, it downloaded and installed without and errors. But, when I play none of the French, German, Japan, or UK assets are available and any that are "in play" are condemned or white boxes.

I have done about everything I can think of; verified, played without mods, rebuilt a playlist, etc.. Anyone else?

Region packs are considered mods. Go into mods and create a playset. Make sure you choose the packs to be part of playset. I suggest adding Skyve mod manager also.

Yes, I think I said that I rebuilt a playset, (ok I use the work playlist), I have 10+ maps full of all the regional assets, and cannot play without all the French, German, Japan, and UK assets being condemned and disappearing. The SW US, NE US, China, EE assets are all fine....for now.

Looks like this issue is fixed by, going into the appdata folder, copying my Saves folder somewhere safe, deleting the City Skylines 2 folder, letting all the mods, (including regional packs), re-download.

There's also a new mod on pdx mods site that you can use to force assets to update in-game (I assume some asset params are baked on to the map when building spawn so it's not reloading them every time or smth).

Those Region Packs slowed the loading of the game on my end. But the game seems stable after the previous update. More work needs to be done but the needle is slowly moving forward.
