Hello,
If your Steam library is in your D drive, you can simply change the copying command to copy %userprofile%\downloads\cities2.bat "D:\SteamApps\Common\Cities Skylines II\Cities2.exe" and the parameter command to "D:\SteamApps\Common\Cities Skylines II\Cities2.exe" %command% and it should work.
Let me know how this goes.
The system cannot find the path specified.
i forgot to mention the game for cities skyline is on the D rive
Hello,
If you haven't already, download the cities2.bat that Paradox Tech sent you. Make sure that the .bat file is in your downloads folder.
Then, in the Start Menu (push the Windows key), type cmd and push enter.
Paste copy %userprofile%\downloads\cities2.bat "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Cities Skylines II\Cities2.exe" and then push enter.
Now open Steam and then go to your game library list, and then right-click Cities Skylines II, then Properties, and then in the "Launch Parameters" section, delete any text in there and then paste "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Cities Skylines II\Cities2.exe" %command%, push OK, and then run Cities Skylines II.
Does it run?
Let me know how this goes.
like i told you im not an expert and i follow right up to the cmd command which says cannot find
Hello,
You didn't specify where your Steam Library is so I assumed it was the default C drive location.
I provided a new set of commands below, try them, and see if they work and if they don't I'll find another way you can do them.
You can also drag and drop or copy and paste the .bat file to the same location as the command ("D:\SteamApps\Common\Cities Skylines II\Cities2.exe") by going to the D:\ drive in File Explorer, then SteamApps, then Common, then Cities Skylines II and then following the steps listed after and seeing if that works.Let me know how this goes.

Hi there,
I completely understand how this can be a bit confusing to deal with, especially when the launcher isn’t showing up as expected.
The issue usually happens because the Paradox Launcher either didn’t install correctly or the game isn’t properly linked to it, which causes Steam to fail in launching the game as intended.
To get this fixed, go ahead and download the Cities2.bat file that Paradox support provided, then place it in your game’s installation folder that’s the same folder where you’ll find the Cities2.exe file.
After that, right-click the game from your Steam Library, choose Properties, and under Launch Options, type in cities2.bat %command%. Once done, just close the window and launch the game normally through Steam.
Can you check if you can locate your game’s folder and confirm if the batch file is already placed there? That’ll help us see if we’re good to proceed with the next step.
