[Resolved] Crash when choosing city

[Wren28]

Hopefully someone can help. I started a new profile and loaded Promods and RusMap. They seemed to load ok, but when I choose the city it crashes to desktop. Thanks

Here is my gamelog

Please don't state you are loading ProMods and RusMap, when you are loading a metric tonne of other mods as well.

For one thing, the ProMods legacy compatibility fix must be above all other map and connection mods. But the game may well refuse to load even after that because of conflict; if so, please try with ProMods and RusMap only, or even with just ProMods.

All I had active was the Promods and RusMap. Do I need to delete every thing else, even when I don't have them active, and then reload them into mods folder when I want to use another profile? I will try the legacy fix. Thanks. I tried just those 2 maps and even tried just ProMods. Neither one worked. It still crashes when I try to pick a city to start in.

Now that I look a second time more carefully at your log, I realize it is strange at the end. Apologies. I will confer with the team.

Edit: Not very strange log actually, I simply missed some crucial things. Again, apologies. Josh0 will get back to you with advice.

@Wren28, I conferred with Davyddin he and I now agree that you are only loading ProMods and RusMap, as you stated.

If you plan to use only ProMods and RusMap you can continue to use the unofficial RusMap connector file that you have ("PM230_RM_v131_roadconnection.scs"), but use it at your own risk. There is at least one problem caused by this unofficial connector file: the game's navigation cache will be rebuilt every time you start the game, causing long loading times (2+ minutes on your system), and generating these errors in the game.log:

Code: Select all

The ProMods team recommends instead that you use the official RusMap connector file ("PM227_RM_v131_roadconnection.scs") that comes inside the RusMap 1.8.1 download, along with the ProMods 2.30+ Legacy Compatibility Fix that Davyddin was referring to. You still need the RusMap "spruce fix" (which you are already using).

However, the cause of your game crash is likely a corrupt/truncated ProMods file, specifically "promods-model1-v231.scs". Please compare the sizes of the files in your mod folder with the sizes in this image:

If you still have the ProMods .7z archive you can test the contents by opening the archive in 7zip or WinRar and pressing the "Test" button. If the test passes (no errors) you can try to re-extract the files from the .7z archive to your mod folder. If the test fails, or you no longer have the .7z archive, you will need to redownload the .7z archive again.

@Josho and Davyddin, I tried those and put the "promods-model1" with the right size in the game. I'm not sure how that got small, I just put it in out of the zip. But anyway it all loaded and I was able to start in a new city. Thank you both so much. I was getting Aggravated with it.

Nice to hear, happy trucking!
