Got a weird one for ya...

Lately I started playing Cities Skylines again, and as usual i play the game with mods. I do notice that everytime I try to load the loading screen mod, which is probably one of the best mods out there, tells me that the game is asking for around 18-19GB of memory.

 

Unfortunately, I'm capped at 16.

 

I don't have any trouble playing the city, I mean there are a few stutters and the odd slowdown but nothing gamebreaking. so gameplaywise everything is fine. 

 

When i go to shut the game down however, the game crashes as i shut the game down. As to why i dont know. But everytime i try to shut down the PC, there is still power to the fans and the motherboard. this only happens when i shut the computer down after playing cities skylines. Even if I let it sit for awhile. after closing the game.

 

It powers on fine again afterwards. no problem and last night i thought i'd try again WITHOUT even opening the Cities, and sure enough, computer powers down without issue. 

 

What gives? not enough memory, memory running too hot?

I think you are having some issues here with either a bad driver or cities skylines MAJORLY messing up a process in windows.

 

So basically DDU your gpu driver and install the latest one and reinstall cities skylines on steam.

Does it do this if you play without mods? If not, then there is your answer

Okay, now I'm thinking windows is corrupted. I tried to shut the comp down yesterday and was just spinning on the shut down screen for a good 10-20 minutes before i killed it. I think Windows reinstall is in order.
