Completely Vanilla Game Freezing on Brand New Computer

by the way, all i'm doing is loading up a map, pressing the space bar to let it play.

If you want to play no mods, that's fine, but it's best you use this one anyway:

!lsm

Loading Screen Mod (LSM)

This is a very useful mod for optimizing load times and diagnosing asset issues. You can find the mod on the following link.

LSM optimizes loading times by optimizing RAM usage, and with the share textures, share materials, and share meshes options enabled in the mod settings, LSM further decreases loading times by not loading duplicate items, which is especially helpful when using large asset packs that share textures, such as roads.

The other useful feature of LSM is its error reporting tool. When the save reports option is enabled in the mod settings, LSM will create an HTML report of all assets in the chosen folder. By default this folder is located at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Report\LoadingScreenMod. This HTML file will have a report of all assets with links to allow you to subscribe to the missing ones. The !frax command explains this in more detail.

LSM is purely to let you know of any errors or missing assets when loading up the game
