Patch Loader mod installation guide for Linux users
Installation
Due to how the Patch Loader and Linuxsystem works the user is required to perform additional action.
I’ll use Ubuntu as an example but this process will work for all other distributions.
Navigate to game directory, usually it’s located in /home/<your_name>/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Cities_Skylines
Important: make sure that Cities_Loader.sh file is present, if not launch the game and enable Patch Loader mod on the Content Manager -> Mods tab first.
Find the file launcher-settings.jsonand open it in any text editor as shown below
Before change
Find and change value of “exePath” property replacing “Cities.x64” with “Cities_Loader.sh”as shown on the screenshots below
After change
Final words
Save laucher-settings.json file and run game as usual.
If everything was done correctly game should launch normally and Patch Loader mod should stop warning about “Critital error”.
Keep in mind that future Paradox Launcher updates may overwrite the config file so above procedure needs to be performed once again.
Known issues
