After the 1.23 update I experience an unexplained crash...
I can work in the editor but when I test my map it crashes when I get to a certain area.
But what kind of crashes can occur when seemingly there's nothing occuring in the log file? :roll:

Could it perhaps be something with sectors or save files?

And my is this in my crash log:
Fault address: 00007FF7B14B7AC4 0001:00636AC4 C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\eurotrucks2.exe

OK, here's what you can do to narrow down the causes of the bug:

1. Split up your package; put your sectors in one package and the rest in the other. Also, the game has trouble with reading your package if it's larger than 2GB.
2. Test your package only loading your assets and not the map (in your case, the default map). If this works, continue to step 4.
3. If the game crashes, try to load it without the DEF files. If it still crashes, you surely have corrupt models and/or materials and textures.
4. If the game does not crash with the assets, try to load your map and re-add sectors to the map one by one. Continue re-adding until it crashes. That will be the bugged sector.
5. When possible, revert back to 1.22 and remove the bugged items from the map.

Don't ask us for a release date; we don't know either.

I need the map to make it work and I need the def files to make it work...
Otherwise it just crashes...

Just try what I suggested first: remove the map and DEF and try to load the default Europe map. It may not load your map then, but it will load any asset overrides. Then add the DEF file to see if the problem is in your new assets or the DEF.
You have to understand that often during bug hunting, it is about excluding what is NOT the cause rather than immediately finding the cause if no cause is explicitly given.

I'm happy to say that the problem is solved and I can carry on working on my map without any major issues... :D
