Thanks for sharing more detailed feedback!

Thanks for the response snowflitzer :) Like I mentioned in my initial post - we, as Paradox, will try to keep our communication to a higher standard in the future.

As we all know, launcher introduction got very mixed reaction from the community overall... and many very negative comments on Steam. Our launcher development team has been working hard on making it as useful and attractive to the players, but it cannot be done without your help.

Like Verullus Forgefire said, some Cities fans probably don't mind the launcher at all. However, with people who want to voice their opinion, a constructive feedback is important to push the changes in the right direction. I'm sure you know a bit about it as a software developer :)

Keeping that in mind, what exactly would you like to see improved or added? What would make your experience with the launcher better? And regarding that one part of your post - have you noticed any big spikes in RAM consumption on your PC... Read more

That fix is now live! Let us know please if the launcher is taking more than a few seconds to load now

Well, we said only if people on Steam forums didn't riot ;) haha

We've often considered riots though, as it's a common request. So I'll pass on your feedback! Thanks!

Could you share some more info about your system and OS?

We've already got a fix for load times, personally tested on my own computer with a couple thousand mods (it's all mod-related). And launcher takes like 2 seconds to load once we get this hotfix deployed

Sorry for the frustration! I know it's even worse when you've taken time off to play

Give us some time to show what we can do with this launcher, all I ask

Thanks for writing up your feedback!

I think there's a general misunderstanding of your privacy and the data that we get from a launcher. In general, we get some basic telemetry. Not the name of your great-aunt or the street you grew up on.

If you're not interested in giveaways or sales, that's fine. I'd say that a lot of players will be though. Does it really bother you so much that we're telling players about these things in a second place? All redundancy aside, I am having trouble why that upsets you so much, so please let me know

The launcher gives us capabilities to do things Steam can't do. That's all I can say for now. I get your frustrations, but your arguments seem to mostly be around privacy concerns, of which those arguments hold no water.

"Your Community team consider the Steam forums toxic and a cesspool. They have to be dragged kicking and screaming to present anything here."

This is false. I don't speak on your behalf, p... Read more

Apologies for the frustration - can you provide some details about what exactly isn't working?

Is it the launcher? or your city not loading?

Working on this right away. Our sincerest apologies for the errors that are preventing your gameplay, that was not our intention

This bug is now fixed. Thanks for your patience! Sorry for all the frustrations
