hello guys welcome back to the CH tips and in this video we're going to talk about how to fix City's Skyline 2 is having questioning issue it is not launching won't launch freezing stuttering lagging low FPS drop stuck on loading screen and even uh much more issues such as you know black screen Etc and how we can fix this set so let's dive into the workaround the first one is all about what we need to do is we just need to uh do a simple restart on your system and that is is what we have to do for just go over here in the start icon click on this one go over here in the power icon and go for restart once the restart is done we just need to try launching the game so sometimes you know a simple restart can fix a lot of issue so we need to try with a simple restart and that is what we have to do once afterwards if the issue is still there if it's not working we have to move to next one that is all about we have to launch the game from the installation folder not from the steam so most of us launch the game from Steam that is why we are having the issue so we need to launch the game from the uh installation folder so just go over here in the game right click and we have to go to the properties go to the installed file and we just need to click on the browse so we just need to go back over here and as you can see that is this PC local dis C program file x86 steam steam apps common cities sky line 2 so just launch the game frame here and this is what we have to do so launching the game frame here might be working because in my knowledge for many other games this did work it so you can try this over as well once after done with this if the issue still there you can try two more steps from here in the same location that we need to run the game as an administrator and what we need to do is we just need to launch the game or we have to run the game in the windows compatibility mode so running the game as an administrator is quite simple so just right click over here and go to the show more options and we have to go to the properties go to compatibility click on run this program as an administrator go for apply and go for okay after trying with this you have to see whether the issue is solved because most probably when you do this up the issue has to be fixed and even after trying with this if the issue is still there you can try with the next one that is all about we have to run the game in the compatibility mode so we just need to go over here in the game right click and we have to go to the show more options we have to go to the properties compatibility click on run this program in the compatiability mode and we have to set this to Windows 7 as the first one go go for apply and go for okay or canel this to Windows 8 we can go for apply and go for okay as well afterwards if you're still having the issue uh what we need to do is we just need to try with the next one after running the game in the competitive mode in my knowledge when you try to run the game in the seven it will be working for Windows 7 will be working once afterwards just close everything and we have to go back and we just need to try launch the game next one is all about nothing but what we need to do is we just need to launch the game and we have have to press alt and tab from the keyboard so this even did worked for many users so just launch the game and we have to press alt and tab I don't know how this is related but even for many users this did work it so we can try this S as well next one we need to make sure the date time and region is correct so just go over here in the search we have to navigate to the settings now from here go to the time and language go for date and time now from here we have to make sure the time and time zone should be automatically correct so this has to be turned it on and this has to be turned it on as well you have to go back make sure the language and region now from here we have to click on this one and make sure the country is correct for example if you select United States we have to set this up and if you're in United Kingdom you have to set this up as well you have to do it accordingly and once after done with this one we just need to close this and we have to go back and try launching the game next one is all about nothing but what we need to do is we just need to delete the saved game file so just go over here in the file explor go to this PC and from here we have to navigate to the documents and over here if you find the folder you have to keep in mind when you find the folder you have to delete it so if the game is not here we have to navigate to the games now from here we'll be able to find the folder here so just select the folder and we have to delete the folder and keep in mind when you delete it that is what it is going to do you'll be losing all the progressions of the game if you started saving the game but even though it is fine we have to delete it because it did work it for many users for many games you can try this as well next one is all about what we need to do is we just need to move to the next one that is all about we have to allow the game to Window Security which is a very important step so just go over here in the search we have to navigate to the control panel go for system and security go for Windows Defender Firewall go for Alo app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall keep scrolling down and navigate to City's sky line 2 so just go over here and make sure the private and public has to be selected so this has to be selected and this has to be select selected which is very important so imagine the game is not here and what we need to do in some cases this situation even pops up in between so just click on the change setting go for allow another app navigate to the browse navigate to the installation folder that is Block C program fx86 scroll down and navigate to steam now go to steam apps now go to Common now from here we have to navigate to cities Skyline 2 select this one and go for open and we have to add it so I'm getting the error because the game is already added so we need to add the game once afterwards just close everything and we have to go back and try launching the game next one is all about what now what what we need to do is we just need to unplug all the USB devices so we might be connected with a lot of devices for example you know multiple uh controllers multiple monitors might be connected and these are sometimes even coost the issue app so just remove The Unwanted unplug or remove the secondary or unwanted multiple connected uh controllers uh you know uh you know what you have to say uh you have to remove the monitors and all those things which is already connected and once or afterwards we just need to try and you have to see whether the issue is solved or not next one is sry about nothing but we have to perform a clean boot so just go over here in the search we have to go over here in the system configuration now from here navigate to the services go for disable all and go for hide all Microsoft services and go for apply and go for okay they're going to ask you for restart so we have to go for restart and also keep in mind the users for watching this you have to go for restart but I'm going to go for exit without restart because we really we are in the middle of Shing so I'm going to go for exit without restart and afterwards try launching the game next one is all about nothing but what we need to do is we just need to disable the steam overlay so just go over here in the game right click and go to the properties go to the installed file and over here as you can see not there installed file go to the general make sure if this is turned it on we have to turn this off once you turn this off try launching the game next one is all about we have to try with the launch option that we have to give the command dx11 so you can try with the dx11 and try launching the game if dx11 is not working try with dx12 and try launch the game as well so either the dx11 will be working or the dx12 will be working and this is what we have to do in most cases this will be working so you can try this out even after trying with this if the issue is still there you can try with the next one that is all about we have to close all the overlay application so so just go over here in the search we have to go over here in the start right click and we have to go to the task manager now from here as you can see there are lot of things running in the background so all these things are one of the main reason why we are having the crashing issue so what we need to do is we just need to remove The Unwanted things for example discode RAR tuner MSA After Burner all these are one of the main reason so just remove everything from here and once afterwards just close everything and we have to go back try launching the game next one is all about what we need to do is we just need to uh do is we just need to run the game on dedicated graphics card so just go over here in the search and we have to go over here in the graphics settings now from here we just need to add the game so just click on the browse now go to this PC navigate to local dis see program fx86 keep scrolling down and navigate to steam and we have to navigate to steam apps once again go to the common now from here we have to navigate to City skyline 2 and we have to select this and go for add so the game is added just click on the option and as you can see this is by let Windows aside change this to high performance and go for Save once you save this to high performance close everything and we have to go back and try launching the game and that will be working fine as well next one is all about we need to increase the virtual memory which is a very important step so just go over here in the search we have to navigate view Advanced system setting go to the advanced tab go to settings once again Advan it once again go for change over here and make sure this is blank and select the lockal dis where the game is installed go for the custom size and set set the value initial size that is 1.5 * the dotal dram and the maximum size is three times the dotal dram so just go over here and we need a calculator so just type your RAM 32GB is what we need to type and we have to multiply it with 1024 and we have to multiply it with 1.5 that is 49152 and we have to paste it next one that is maximum size is 32 GB multiply it with 1024 sorry 1024 and we have to multiply it with three that brings you 98304 and we have to copy this and we have to paste it as well so just go for okay and everything should be set and once afterwards do a restart and try launch the game next one is all about nothing but what we need to do is we just need to uh we need to do is we just need to update the graphics card so just go over here so I'll be providing Link in the description to both Nvidia as well as to the AMD the Nvidia users has to go over here and select everything like your product type product series product operating system language Etc set this to Windows 11 and we have to go over here in the Geo Force RTX and we have to go everything and go for start search now from here as you can see that is we have to go over here and we just need to keep scrolling down because uh you'll be getting the latest outdated versions over here and once you find the latest updated version we have to download it and we have to install it and keep in mind the restart is a mandatory and that is very important one and once afterwards you can also try moving to the AMD if the system is AMD you have to update the AMD and select every details and go for start search and you'll be getting these two option if you're on Windows 11 download this one if you're on Windows 10 you can try downloaded this one install restart is a mandatory and try launch the game if you're on the Microsoft Visual C++ just go over here now from here if the system is based on x64 download this one if the system is based on x86 download this one install restart is a mandatory and try launching the game next one is all about what we need to do is we just need to update the windows so just go over here in the search we have to navigate to the settings now from here go to the Windows update so just update the windows and make sure the windows is up to date which is a very important one and once afterwards we just need to try and we have to see whether the issue is solved or not next one is all about we have to uninstall and reinstall the game so just go over here right click we have to go to the manage and uninstall the game you have to keep in mind when you reinstalling it back it should not be installing it back on the same local disk you have to move to any other local dis and that is how it works works the last and the least one is all about we can try verify Integrity of game file so just go over here go to the man properties we have to click on the installed file and just click on the verify Integrity of game file so the game is around 16GB so what happens is this will cross check every single files of a game and if any files are corrupted and if any files are missing and all these kind of issues will be fixed by this and these are the possible workarounds
