Cities: Skylines (Steam) - Load into save on a black screen with visible UI

[colezzzz]

Describe your issue
Load into save on a black screen with visible UI

What is your game version?
1.16.0-f3

What expansions do you have installed?


What mods are you using?
A lot but I've never had issues with them previously, I have checked with compatibility report and there is only minor issues, they wouldn't cripple my game like this.

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I load up a save as usual, but when it comes off Loading Screen Manager is shows the in-game UI, but nothing else, just darkness.

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.
This just happened one day after alt f4'd while my game was still saving, must've corrupted or messed with something. It's never been the same since then.

There are so many...

Missing networks or missing assets in general? You don't have to subscribe to every one of them, just the networks basically

not sure where to see just the networks

 

[Lucododosor]

In the .htm file there should be a section just for networks

Is it called 'nets and skins' or something

Well, you can subscribe to them just to load your save, replace them with other networks and then unsubscribe from them again.

Even if I try and start a new city the game still crashes. I don't think it ever creates a crash report though.

Does that happen before or after resubscribing to the networks?

This has nothing to do with those. I mean when I create a new city, even though it doesn't have any existing networks etc, my game still brakes. Is there a way to just wipe everything from my game and start completely fresh again, reset it somehow?

 

[Lucododosor]

Yes, you can try a complete reinstall by following these steps:

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

...\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities Skylines\
...\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\255710\
...\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines
(first move the /saves/ folder elsewhere to keep your save games)
(To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer)

- Install the game again and see if they are there now.

No, everything you've already bought will be there
