Describe your issue
Could not start game

What is your game version?
Could not enter main menu

What expansions do you have installed?
After Dark, Snowfall, Mass Transit, Parklife, Industries, Campus

What mods are you using?
None. All mods have been disabled by using the noWorkshop command.

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Could not initialize game. When entered the game, the Colossal Order logo showed up but the game froze at the paradox logo. The image of both logos have been stretched. The application then stops responding and I have to use force quit to exit the game. This is the same case whether I click "resume" or "play" at the launcher.

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.

I take it the game used to work on this machine? If so, do you know what change or update seemed to trigger this problem for you?

Please gather both these two informational files, and attach them here:

...\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\output_log.txt

DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Thank you for your reply! Yes the game worked about two months ago. Although I am not sure which update triggered this problem, but I'm certain that it's the updates within two months that have triggered it.

About the informational files, I am running the game on my Mac system. Do you know what's the equivalent path file and program on Mac?

Your noWorkshop option is ineffective because you omitted the leading dash. And it only disables the workshop, not the mods as such.

To test for mod/asset issues the launch options need to be exactly this:
-noWorkshop -disableMods

If the game then loads you do have a mod issue, or simply too many subscribed items. Please check your mods against this list:


If you still get this problem after removing or replacing any bad ones, and unsubscribing from any you don't actually need or use, please attach here a new player.log , thanks.
