Cities: Skylines Dev Tracker

We need your log file to see what happens. This guide explains where to find it and suggests some sites you can upload it to, since you can't attach files here on Steam.

They are at the top. I've highlighted the places to enable/disable stuff - both all at once and individually.

Did you follow the steps in the post I linked?

Originally posted by Snowwie: The first I posted later, the question about volcanoes was one the missing topics, yes. Oh okay, so it has been replaced. I was not aware there were more subforums within the general discussion area. Thanks in advance :-)

No problem. :)

And to make it even more confusing, clicking the "Discussions" at the top takes you to General Discussions, while clicking the "Discussions" on the workshop front page takes you to the "Workshop" discussions, but totally doesn't have that shown at the top. I STILL get lost in the Workshop one from time to time and I've been here daily for 5 years. I swear Steam does this just to mess with us. :P

Deep breath, it's gonna be okay! *hug* If you have a savegame, then you can get everything back almost as it was. Cities: Skylines keeps track of what you were subscribed to when playing a save and it has a button to subscribe to everything again.

Start the game and go to the Content Manager from the Main Menu. Go to the Savegames and find your latest savegame. Then click the Subscribe All button and wait. This might take a long while. If the game crashes or it gets stuck on the process, just shut the game down and repeat until everything is subscribed again.

@bananaman1121: I'm really sorry you're having problems with the game. That absolutely sucks. :( How far do you get? Does the launcher show when you press Play in Steam? Or does nothing seem to happen? Have you tried following the steps in this post?

If you upload your log file we can take a look and hopefully help narrow down the problem.

This guide tells you where to find the file and suggest some sites you can upload it to in order to share it.

Yeah, it's very likely mod related. Not sure what's causing it though. :/

I noticed you have both Disable Zone Check and Plop the Growables. These mods are incompatible and break when used together. It isn't related to this problem, but you should pick one and remove the other.

You also don't nee Tree Brush when using Extra Landscaping Tools and Forest Brush.

For the problem you're having, I suggest unsubscribing both Extra Landscaping Tools and Surface Painter, then test if the default terraforming works. If the problem is gone, something is messing with ELT. If it's still there, it's a different mod breaking things (upload a new log if that's the case).

If you want to discuss the launcher, please do so here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/255710/discussions/0/1742265315845302132/

Hmm, that sounds like a new error. Try verifying game files by going to the library in Steam, right clicking on Cities: Skylines, select Properties, go to the tab named Local Files and click on Verify Integrity of Game Files. Let Steam do its thing and start the game again.

If you have errors again, upload the log again and drop a new link, so we can see if something has changed.

Try unsubscribing from Extra Landscaping Tools, waiting a moment for Steam to remove the files, then subscribe to the mod again. Let it download and then try to start the game again.

Oh no, I'm sorry you're getting messages like that! :O I'm afraid I have no powers outside the community hub, so I can't do anything on profiles. Steam will have to deal with that. :/ I sug... Read more

I have only one question to pass on to the absentee publishers...
To what extent do they acknowledge the discontent they have caused with the adoption of their new launcher?

Thank you! Hopefully I can help make them feel less absent, even though I can tell you that they aren't. I'm not the only one reading the boards here, I'm just way more visible. :)

Hello to all you lovely majors! You might have spotted me around the community as I’ve been around for years, but if you haven’t then let me introduce myself:

I’m Avanya and I spend my free time making assets for Cities: Skylines or helping out where I can. I’ve been a moderator here on Steam for about a year, I help update AquilaSol’s list of broken mods and I do a “survival guide” every patch to help everyone, who mods the game, get back to playing.

Now I’m taking on a new role as community ambassador for Cities, which means I’m around regularly to help keep Steam organized and a friendly place to be – with help from our awesome volunteer moderators! I will also be passing on information from Paradox to you and keep them updated on what’s up with the community.

I look forward to spending more time with you all! Cities: Skylines and ... Read more

Yeah, the logs reset every time you start the game. If you get a crash with a pop up saying the game has crashed, then it puts the logs in a folder with the date and time of the crash, which won't reset. But if that didn't happen, the log resets.

Steam doesn't let you upload the log, but there's some links in the guide to places where you can share the file and then post a link here. Alternately you can post on the support forums[forum.paradoxplaza.com] where you can directly attach the log file.

The game does have autosave. I can't remember if it's enabled by default or not, but you can enable it and set how often it saves in the Options menu. It creates just one autosave, so never rely on it for anything other than backup in case of crashes. I have mine set to every 15 min - that doesn't cause me to lose too much progress for how I play and also doesn't have the saves interrupt me too much.

Since we're talking about saves, I just want to recommend you always save as a new file as well. Saves can get corrupted sometimes, so to minimize the risk of losing your city, it's a really good idea to have more saves. I add a number at the end so I have CityName1, CityName2, CityName3 and so on. If a save gets corrupted I just lose some progress instead of my entire city.

Lastly it might indeed be worth looking into the crash. You can share your logs here and we can try and help figure out what caused it. Perhaps it was a one time thing, perhaps there's a problem... Read more

Hello :)

Are you perhaps looking for this one and this one? They are in the Workshop Discussions section, which is the appropriate place. If you didn't post there, then they were likely moved there by mods.
