I have not driven around a whole lot to see if there are any noticeable glitches or wacky bugs, I wanted to first check my game.log after booting everything up first before I went any further.

[OMNI du 31]

Are you using any other mods than ProMods?

P.S. - Dangling Pointers are harmless errors in general.

[ChiliBeef]

Just a wheel pack mod and a light pack mod that I put together myself.
Don't dangling pointers also prevent the files from being used/showing up in the game?

[KrysEmlyn]

The dangling pointer errors in regards to the oversize routes is expected when adding ProMods to an existing profile as ProMods does not have the full roster of Special Transport routes that the base game and its DLCs have.
ProMods has a different set of Special Transport routes available due to changes made to the map by the ProMods team.
Similar errors will show up after doing an economy reset or updating ProMods between game versions due to the old job listings being purged/no longer valid.

[ChiliBeef]

Ah, I did not know that. I learn something new every day! I was under the impression that a dangling pointer meant, "Hey, I can't find this information, so I'm not going to display the asset/mod/etc."

[ScuL]

Dangling pointers are caused by an entry existing in your save game that cannot be found in the current game environment.

They are also created for instance when you have freight jobs with a certain trailer, save the profile, then remove that trailer mod and reload the game.
Then the freight job is still in your profile, but the trailer is no longer there so it cannot load, creating the "dangling pointer".

Dangling pointers are automatically corrected upon re-saving the profile.

[ChiliBeef]

Oh, so THAT'S why it does that. Well, that explains why the KSW mod for the Western Star trailers were throwing that error for me in ATS; they were calling for freight that no longer existed in the game.
