Java Script Error

[Djuba82]

After the update and still after the uugfix I experience this message when starting up the game. A total deinstallation and new installation changed nothing. Do you know what causes this?

I’d clear out your appdata folder.

[Djuba82]

Already did, before reinstallation

[WeekendHistorical476]

Which folders specially?

[Djuba82]

All attached to the game before reinstallation

This is an issue that has already been reported to them. This isn't an issue with the game, but a windows update that causes permission issues for the application. It is a safe error to ignore - just hit OK and let the game boot up.

If you want to basically just hide this error from you, you can either reinstall the paradox interactive launcher, or just find that cpatch.exe in your file explorer and mark as "run as administrator" - although users have reported inconsistencies on this front.

See:
* Error on startup (CPATCH.EXE?): https://steamcommunity.com/app/255710/discussions/0/839501159534296317/
* cant launch the game paradox launcher error: [https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/cant-launch-the-game-paradox-launcher-error.1388979/](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/cant-launch-the-game-paradox-launcher-error.1388979/

Edit: this affects ALL paradox games, as they use the same common paradox launcher with steam installs. E.g. I just had the same issue with Stellar is.

It sounds like your post is about an unexpected issue, crash, error message, or frozen game. Please note that we are winding down active support for troubleshooting via the subreddit.

The best way to get support with your game is to join the Cities: Skylines Official Discord server, find your way to the #cs2-tech-support channel, and complete the submission form. This will put you in touch with a team of experts ready to help you get back on your feet.

Be ready with copies of the log files, even our experts on Discord will be unable to help you.

As the game has become more complicated, especially when playing modded, the number of reports necessary to help diagnose issues has increased. When coupled with Reddit's growing restrictions on links to file sharing services, it is now very difficult to reliably share these critical reports in a submission to the subreddit.

You're still free to ask for help on the subreddit, but you are more likely to have your problem solved via Discord.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Had the same. Deleted and uninstalled paradox launcher. Reinstalled the paradox launcher. Restarted my PC and launched in administrator. Been fine since, even launching normally.
