I can see that several other has the same problem, but I can't find a solution to it. Tried different forums, homepages, troubleshooting pages and guides. Heck I've even tried youtube.

Anyway, short info:
I push "Start game" in Steam - nothing happens.
I launch .exe file in root folder - nothing happens.

Yes I have x64bit OS Windows 7 Ultimate

My specs are pretty decent:
Intel Core i7-4790k 4GHz
16GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 980
Lot's of free GB on HHD.

go to steam and in game properties for cities:skylines in "Set launch options" add -force-d3d9 . Maybe it will work for you.
P.S start the game from steam not from root folder after that

4.0ghz huh.. yeah I'm jealous.
Ok well it doesn't get very far at all, bombs almost immediately upon trying to grab the first part of the simulation data from the map file, you running anything (virus\malware protection that might interfere with it trying to access it's files, I'm assuming no or that you already put exceptions in for CSL, and your running the game as an Administrator. You mention your HD which got me wondering, do you have an SSD drive, and Is your windows pagefile disabled (or set to a smaller amount then you have ram?), I remember reports back around release that folks with it disabled were having issues like this?

I'm going to assume you already tried a clean uninstall re-install + clean video driver install.

edit:
never-mind an item or two above I now see some of the things you've tried via
https://steamcommunity.com/app/255710/discussions/0/517142253872706549/

"
Maybe if I force DX11 - is it possible?
- just installed Shadow of Mordor and that doesn't work either. Same error.
Something is seriously wrong here ... hermf!"
^^ as for doing that just removing the -force-d3d9 launch option should make to go back to trying dx11
Is Shadow of Mordor based on the Unity engine?
