@yenyang, I managed to reproduce the crash!

1. I have two nodes very close to each other in a perfectly working game where electricity flows without issues. They are on a four-lane road, allowing traffic in both directions. The nodes are so close that they were very likely created with Anarchy on.

2. When I upgrade the road with these two nodes to an asymmetric five-lane road, the electricity stops, and the game crashes when I open it. This is very common in roundabouts, for example.

3. Reversing to the standard four-lane road does not fix the electricity flow problem; removing the two-node piece of road and recreating it with Anarchy off with either four lanes or five lanes fixes the electricity flow, and hence, the game can be open again.

I hope that helps to fix the mod. I have the game files with the two nodes flowing and without flowing electricity (the one that crashes). Can I pass them on to you if you need to?

Thanks for the amazing mod; all the best!

All, try finding asymmetric roads where it is evident that electricity does not flow (you see the yellow cable under the road, but if you want to use it to transmit electricity, it does not work). Recreate these roads (do not just upgrade) until you see electricity flowing. Use Move it to select the road to find nodes that are close to each other; that is probably where the problem is. You can do that with Skyve safe mode to open the game.

Be careful when upgrading roads to asymmetric. Every time I do that, I check the electricity flowing immediately afterward; if it stops, then I know it will crash. All the best!
 
@yenyang , the Update you made 4 Hours ago removed the 'slope option' and all the 'road Upgrade tools' (quay, bridge, raised etc.).
Had to Install the old "Extended Road Upgrades" mod :(
He just got home, maybe give him some time to breathe, I'm sure he'll announce the update that will be able to fix the issues.
Do not install/reinstall/use Extended Road Upgrades, its author reported it and yenyang should work on it

You can still download v1.7.2 if you want to, but it is believed to cause save file corruption. I'm investigating what's been happening while I have been on vacation before reinstating those features.

You are safe to use Extended Road Upgrades, been using it since the issue arose a few weeks ago. v1.6.4 Anarchy + Extended Road Upgrades works just fine (maybe 50+ saves in the last few weeks) and does not corrupt anything. Once the fix drops I'll just uninstall ERU.

I was going crazy, I had the road upgrade tools last night, opened the game now and couldn't find them. Restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled anarchy, and only then did I read the notes. Duh! I can laugh at myself for not doing it first 8')

@yenyang Hi. If you identify the problem, maybe you could create a mod that fixes broken saves in "safe mode"? I tried different methods, but none of them works. I can't even play on working saves because they will be broken again when I save which is even weirder because I unistalled Anarchy anyway. If I can't continue to work on my city I will lose 80+ hours of work... Thousands of people use anarchy and maybe thousands of people have lost their work....
I'd really appreciate it if you managed to create a mod fixing the problems that cause saves to crash.

I'm researching to figure out what needs to be done. If you want to you can share your save with me. It may help with diagnosing the problem.

Could you share those save games with me?
 
Maybe this helps someone.

I have a lot of saves fortunatelly, and i was able to figure out what exactly i did, that broke my latest saves.

So i noticed, that since the last eru+anarchy mod updates i was able to fix the kind of roads, that are sloped, and the game created an ugly retaining wall on one or both sides of it, wich disables zoning there. So i started using the eru+anarcy, to "downgrade" this roads, so that there is no retaining wall. It just pulls the terrain up, removes retaining wall, and readds zones. I spent some hours to fix such roads in my entire city, to make it look better. But exactly this broke my saves. All my previous saves are working.
 
Be advised, the current Anarchy version (1.7.3) in combination with the old Extended Road Upgrades Mod Crashes the game , which is unfortunate as in this way , access to Upgrades such as Quay, Bridge, Retaining or Elevated is at this point impossible.

Solution that worked for me personally:

1. Remove the old Extended Road Upgrades Mod
2. Go to Skyve, and downgrade the Anarchy Mod to Version 1.7.1
 
Hi
I have removed all power sources from my saved games and the error "ElectricityFlowEdge" has been eliminated, but now I'm having another error that is causing the game to crash.

Any ideas on how to fix this or should i follow the same approach to finding the broken node?

Appreciate the support.
