Cities: Skylines (Steam) - City Skylines Not Loading on Mac

[Fingersmac]

Describe your issue
City Skylines Not Loading on Mac

What is your game version?
No clue. Cannot access the game. Should be latest version.

What expansions do you have installed?
(DID NOT ANSWER QUESTION)

What mods are you using?
None

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Updated Steam today. Paradox launcher version 2021.5.2. Play or resume launches the game but nothing loads; just a black screen with cursor pinwheeling. Force quit (application not responding) required to exit the game.

This is the same issue that has been reported multiple times already on this forum.

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.
Yes, every time I launch the game from the Paradox launcher.

We have many reports of this since the Steam client update yesterday. Please try a **clean** reinstall of Steam and game:

- Remove the game from Steam (uninstall)
- Manually delete all these files and folders, if still there:

~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Cities_Skylines/
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<SteamID>/255710/
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/workshop/content/255710/
~/Library/Application Support/Colossal Order/Cities_Skylines/
(first move the /saves/ folder elsewhere to keep your save games)

Clean Steam reinstall:

Steam Support :: Removing and Reinstalling Steam on a Mac

support.steampowered.com

- Install the game again and see if it runs now.

If that doesn't help,I suspect we'll need to wait for a further Steam update. You could try opting into their beta program meantime though.

Aaaaand a new Steam update just came out with this fix:



macOS

• Fixed bug preventing game launches on macOS 10.12

I hope that does it for you!

Yes, that Steam update did the trick. Glad to see a quick fix.
