Since update not able to load in. anyone else having same issue? how to maybe fix it?

[Mr.Qball]

Since the update, it has been 2 days and I still can not get past the menu loading screen. show the loading circle then crashes. Do you have any suggestions on how to get around this? done uninstalled and reinstalled still nothing.

Are or were you using mods? Then I'm sure this is the problem.

Maybe try starting a new city and see what happens?

[john.glossop]

Before you start a new city, first, EITHER go to Paradox Mods, OR download Skyve ("download skyve" in Google, and install it), and delete all your playsets.
Then try opening it again. If it opens, and allows you to run your city, log out, and start rebuilding your playset again. I strongly recommend Skyve for this as it shows all the known "problem" Mods for you to avoid, which doesn't happen with PDX Mods.
If it STILL doesn't open, find your Mods folder, and delete any mods it contains, and rebuild your Playset again, from scratch.
Good luck.

I tried loading the game and got to the Play screen, and I tried playing a new game. I got the default maps, but only 2 custom maps. And then it froze and I had to shutdown my computer since CTL+ALT+Delete won't do anything.
I tried a second time, I got to the loading screen and it froze again. I never got to the play screen.

Here's my experience with the new update:
I played a few hours, then, after alt-tabbing, the game crashed. Since this happened, the game always open on the wrong display (I have a dual display setting). Trying to change the settings to get it to boot on the right one doesn't work. Additionally, the game refuse to display antying but 60 hz (my displays are one 165hz and one 240 hz and those 2 refresh rate worked perfectly fine before crashing) and the weirdest: Whenever I am trying to change resolution setting or display setting, both screens start shutting off and opening up repeatedly, then a windows pops an error and revert to previous settings. I have tried re-installing the game, re-installing Steam, re-installing gpu driver, entirely formatting and reinstalling everything, nothing works. Apparently, listening to some weirdos on here, I am seeing the glass as half empty and I shouldn't complain because the game works so great now with those updates (lol!!)

Well, seems this latest update has a major issue. Same experience here and running no mods.

[serane155]

My experience : i don't quite have the same problems as everyone here; however here's whats been happening on my end:

- I downloaded the German pack and the loading circles wouldn't show up until the game would eventually freeze and eventually crash. However i don't believe its an issue cause only by mods.
- I also did have my game save disappear once,
- Now the German pack decided to disappear too, impossible access Paradox mods of course... which is a brand new and probably heavy feature that previously didn't exist in CSI...

Personally i blame Paradox for outing their packs all at once and wanting to update everything at once... Seriously what did they expect? You can't expect smooth sailing if you cause tsunamis!!

I do believe update after update pack after pack, fix after fix...etc... it gets hard for Paradox to follow up
Surely the game devs and programmers have a hard time fixing up all those problems in the nick of time!

I think in conclusion we need to be patient, an update with a fix will probably come soon, Paradox needs to chill out and take it a notch down. hopefully some dev from their team ends up finding our thread and takes pity upon us?? Who knows....

Loading times have been slower since the update and more crashes as well.

No idea why everyone uses the bulldoze method on windows.
Before installing/uninstalling check your Player.log :

You find it either in %UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\
and/or in %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\Crashes

Another trick is, check the Log folder in the first directory - and sort the files by date (descending)
Almost every mod is logging there that it got started...
So if you see only parts of the mods you have subscribed in that directory in the current session, it means, some of your mods did not load at alll.. And the last one loaded might be the culprit (not necessarily).

Unsubscribe (temporarily) from all mods which were not loaded at all and also unsubscribe from the last one which loaded - and try starting the game again.

That's how I found the culprit which caused my game crash after the patch had been installed.

I ran into the same issue. Took a 2 week break from the game, it updated and then I couldnt play. I tried updating the launcher, gpu drivers, removing all mods, signing out and signing back in. Nothing worked. Here is what worked for me.

1. Verify the integrity of your game files. If there is a problem with your local game files, you can fix it by verifying.
To verify game files, right-click the game in your Steam library, then click Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.

2. Open Steam. Page does not matter - store, library, etc.

Select Steam drop-down that is in the upper left corner of the screen.

Select Settings in the drop-down.

Select Downloads option in the Settings menu.

Select CLEAR DOWNLOAD CACHE.

3. Verify the integrity of the game files again (step 1) and it should download and install the new files that did not have tegrity.

I love tegridy and I love towelie
