Sounds like the Paradox Launcher isn't appearing for you after the restart. Try a clean install of it following the steps in this post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/255710/discussions/0... Read more

The Epic version can still be modded, but everything needs to be installed manually in the correct folders, and there are very few assets and mods available outside the Steam Workshop for... Read more

Using the landscaping smooth tool try smoothing out the terrain under where you see all the spikes (can do this while paused), then use the water tool from Extra Landscaping Tools to reset the water level a few times while the simulation runs to avoid too much flooding.

Once the water is all settled down, save the game (I recommend saving as a new file), restart it and load the new save. Hopefully the terrain deformations causing the water spikes is gone now.

AppData is a hidden folder by default, you will need to change the folder settings to show hidden files and folders to see it.

If you're using mods it's a feature of the mod called Toggleable Whiteness. With that mod you need to select the Info View on the left to get the overlay.

Did a clean install of the launcher following the steps linked to above help at all? Or does the launcher still not appear for you?

Yes, all the same DLCs are available with both Steam and Epic.

With Steam you get access to the Steam Workshop, where other players share custom buildings, intersections, maps and much more for you to use with your game. The workshop is really the only real difference, otherwise it's just a matter of which store you like the best.

Please try a clean install the launcher following the steps in this post.

That style is part of the game and shouldn't be removed. If the style is enabled the game will load both the European-style buildings and the vanilla-style buildings, regardless of what type of map you are playing on.

If the style is disabled, the game only loads one of those styles. For most maps, it loads the default/vanilla style, for European map types it will load the European style.

Originally posted by Ralf Ferdius: Thank you, @MarkJohnson. But it was not so obvious for me. I can't find it on Steam or the other store quickly.

Those other replies mentioned something about a deal. I don't ask for that.
When you buy the base game on Steam, you must also buy any DLC on Steam. Otherwise you must buy them again, in that other store. Console and PC don't cross.


Can you tell me the differences and benefits between these stores? Just only PC, will be nice.

Most stores list what keys they sell, typically under details for the DLC or "Platform" - if it says ... Read more

If you edit Workshop buildings, you either need to unsubscribe the Workshop version or you need to select "New Asset" instead of "Load Asset" to create a duplicate. Otherwise the game can't tell them apart and only loads one, likely the unedited Workshop version.

I'm afraid we'll need to see the output_log.txt (called player.log on Mac and Linux) to be able to help. As you can't attach it here and it is much too long to post here, I recommend you make a report on our support forum here:

Do you see the Paradox Launcher after pressing Play in Steam?

You shouldn't need to do anything extra to get it to run on Win 10. Are you seeing the Paradox Launcher when pressing Play in Steam?

First thing to check is whether this also happens when you add the launch options -noWorkshop and -disableMods and test on a new city.

If that works just fine, then it's likely either a memory-related problem or it's a mod incompatibility. Let us know if it works fine with the launch options and we'll take it from there. :)

How To Set Launch Options

• Right-click on the game title under the Library in Steam and select Properties.
  
• Enter the launch options you wish to apply in the box (be sure to separate each code with a space). Should look like this:
  -noWorkshop -disableMods
• Close the game's Properties window and launch the game.

The error you're getting can mean a lot of different things. To be able to help we will need to see the output_log.txt as it shows more information and can help us determine what is causing the error for you.

As you can't attach files here and the log is much too long to be posted in a message, I recommend you post on our support forum here:
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/support-bug-reports.879/

You can attach the log file when making a post there, so we can have a look at what's causing problems for you. The output_log.txt is found in the Cities_Data where the game is installed, typically here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data

You can also find it by right-click on the game in your Library, select Manage and then Browse Local Files. Then ... Read more

If that doesn't help, please add the launch options -noWorkshop and -disableMods to test if any mods affect this.

Sometimes logging out of Steam, shutting it completely down, then restarting Steam and logging back in does the trick.
