Cities Skylines crashes everytime I load the save game

This particular save game worked fine for me until last night, when it crashed and it crashes every time since then. This is what displays in the log file:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/nickg2794/.steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

Best Answer

I would suggest you to disable/remove all the 3rd party mods that you have installed to your game and test it out by starting a new game. I had a similar problem some time back and following the same steps worked for me.

Do let me know the result.
