Describe your issue
The game won't launch

What is your game version?
IDK because my game won't even start

What expansions do you have installed?
After Dark, Snowfall, Natural Disasters, Mass Transit, Green Cities, Parklife, Industries, Campus, Sunset Harbor

What mods are you using?
none

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I have the game on steam and whenever I want to play it, it won't launch. Steam says its running but all I can see is that in the taskmanager 3 paradox launcher things are running, but nothing else realated to the game. And I tried all problem fixing which I found on the steam support and in the community, and also what I found on youtube realeted to the game problem.

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.
I can replicate this, but I can't show anything except that game by steam is running and the only way to exit the game (which is nowhere) is by stopping the paradox launcher.

You can bypass the launcher by following these instructions:

- Download the attached cities.bat.zip file
- from it extract cities.bat
- Place the .bat file in your game's Steam folder (In the same place as your cities.exe)
- Right click the game in your Steam library
- Go to properties
- Select Set Launch Options
- Copy and Paste cities.bat %command% into the input box
- Select Ok
- Run the game

Sorry for that problem!

I have encountered the same problem. After executing the above steps I got the message "An error occurred when updating Cities Skylines (missing executable)". I have copied the Cites.bat in exactly the same file location as the Cities.exe file. Can anybody help?

Hey all.
The original issue already shown in the Steam forum "Game not working? Read this" raised by CO_Avanya.
My game is starting to load but at the end of the loading procedure it isn´t loading further and chirper is only circeling around. Is it as well a mod issue? For some help I´d be very thankfull.

Hi again. In the future please always start a new thread to avoid confusion as your issue is different from the original poster's issue.

Let's start cleaning up your mods. Please unsubscribe the following and get replacements where available:
  • Automatic Bulldoze V2 - use Automatic Bulldoze V3 instead
  • More Beautification - use Find It 2 instead
  • Extra Landscaping Tools - use Extra Landscaping Tools [1.15.0-f2 FIX] instead
Make sure to enable the replacements and then try loading your save. If that doesn't help, please attach the log again from that attempt as well as the savegame itself.

Alright, looks like you're still having a simulation error. I recommend trying the Loading Screen Mod's Safe Mode options. To use them subscribe to the mod:

Enable the mod in the Content Manager, then go into Options and find the mod on the list on the left. Then find and enable all the Safe Mode options before attempting to load your save. If that does the trick, save the city as a new file, and then disable the Safe Mode options next time you restart the game.

Hi Co,

sorry for my late replay. Have been really busy the last couple of weeks. I just tried but still the same. Game isn´t loading.
As a final step I´ll remove all mods and give up my city. Simply will start a new one with adding most popular mods and assets.

Many thanks for your support and allways take care.
Best regards
