But the thing is when i look back in my game files, all the files from Nick97 mod are back in my files maps DATA, Beta, mods and mod???? I even reinstalled the game and even then the files are back??? Whats going on here, i just cant play the game.

    I keep far away from any mod he made due to the shocking quality. If you have installed these using the workshop then make sure they are unsubscribed. Threre is some help regarding workshop files somewhere on XLN. Not 100% sure where right at the moment though.

    Did you clean up your appdata folder when you reinstalled the game?

    but before reinstalling again, try deleting prototypesdb.bin and then start the game again.
    its located in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\live\data\config

    where is your windows installed

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\live\data\config

    \username\ is the name you gave to your PC(or the name of the user that you chose when log in on windows, for multiple users).
    \AppData\ is hidden folder. you need to set show hide file in folder option.

    for clean install you need to delete this folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive, after uninstalling the game.

    Atention!!!
    if you delete that folder you will lose all the cities

    Does the log have any clues?
    I have always installed XXL in the default location and never had an issue with the game itself.
    Steam on the other hand, has been a lot of trouble. If a steam game doesn't start, I have to reboot windows to get it to run. I can play the same game on and off a few times during the day but eventually it will stop starting and I'll need to reboot.
    Did you resolve the issue with those mods by nick?

    Have you tried running the game with no mods installed and renaming the Cities XXLfolder in C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\focus home interactive\ so a new one is created?

    That's always my first step so I can find out if it runs un-modded. If it runs then I know mods are the cause. If it doesn't run then somethings possibly wrong with the game files.
    If other games have problems then it could be Windows or graphic drivers.
    It's always just a process of elimination.

    If the game runs un-modded then the process of finding which mod is the cause begins.

    Have you also checked if the mods you unsubscribed from in the workshop have physically gone? Check the folder where the mods get downloaded into. This post has something about that folder

    Hi mate it did nt work, i am thinking of re installing the game, is it possible to instal the game without steam?,
    I think it has to do with a free version of the citys skyline of steam that I had installed, I think it gave conflicts there, it also started when I installed citys skyline, beforethat I had no problems :unsure:

    If its a steam activated game then you won't be able to avoid it (unless you get a not so legal copy)
    Not sure if Skylines would cause it. I have not tried the Steam version yet as I only have the base game. Waiting for all the expansions to drop in price.
    Not sure what else to suggest. Apart from totally gutting your PC and reinstalling Windows. I'm close to doing it myself due to stupid errors I've been getting with numerous games.

    My Launcher folder is empty. The prerequisites folder just has 4 files (cmd/msu) in it.
