I have tried uninstalling + reinstalling the game, uninstalling certain mods, and verifying game files. No process has worked to this point. Ran game with no mods + no workshop, issue persists.

Please check your mods against this list:

[Cities Skylines] Broken & Incompatible Mods - Patch 1.17.1-f4

docs.google.com

Make sure to check the tab "Broken"

If you still get this problem after removing or replacing any bad ones, attach here the game's log file:
…\Steam\steamapps\common\CitiesSkylines\CitiesData\output_log.txt

AND the affected saved game. Thanks.

I finished checking my mods and only had to do one change: Network Extension 2 -> RON + NE2 Roads Replacement. When loading in the game, I received a TMPE error which I am currently figuring out with TMPE support staff.

staff.

Hi, i'm still experiencing the issue. I fixed my problem with TMPE which seems to be separate from this error message. Here's an updated output log.

Apologies, here's the file. Please let me know if this is the correct file/format.

hello??

Is there any fix for this issue?

Please don't put special characters in your saved games name. They can sometimes prevent them from loading at all.

Use alphanumeric characters only.

I'll try loading your saved game and see what I come up with.

fixed, were you able to find any solution?

 

[MarkJohnson]

I got it to load without major issues. I get no errors, so maybe you are low on memory? Maybe background programs running? Possibly a page file increase to add more memory?

But everything seems fine for me.

OK, I loaded it again, and all is still fine. There were some complaints of land value being low, a few buildings went abandoned, but it is recovered to 125k so far and still growing.

I double checked your RAM usage from the log files, and it shows you're using over 12GB of extra RAM outside of the game:

Game RAM use: 6.68
System RAM use: 18.32
Game additional page: 6.11
System additional page: 12.51

That sounds like a lot of stuff running in the background. Maybe exit game, reboot computer and only run Steam and the game. Maybe it will clear up?

Sounds good, i will try right now. I must say, its a bit surprising given that I upgraded my ram just recently (16gb -> 32gb). Is there any chance its a mod issue?

Update: i rebooted my computer and ran the game but the problem persists.

Go to content m,anager/savegames and click subscribe all for this city and see if it fixes it? Maybe something got disabled/unsubscribed by mistake.

didn't work unfortunately :/

 

[MarkJohnson]

I don't have any other advice. It seems to work for me.

Give this a shot. It's our last hope.

Also, at the start f the game, use TMPE to "clear Traffic" as it will clear all of the vehicles off the map and maybe reset them all and clear it up.
