Hi,

I subscribed to lots of assets and the game can handle them very good.
But sometimes I experience some weird problems like flickering textures or ugly looking textures when zoomed out, ...

I want to fix them myself and correct the assets causing them.
I checked my output_log.txt, extracted them into a text file and uploaded this here.
There are different types of problems in the text file, and it would be fine, if there is a guide how to fix the specific problems. Is anything available, or do I have to load each asset in the editor and analyze?

Is there any tool / list available that analyzes output_log.txt and tells you how to fix each error?

since nobody has responded to this yet: no there is no tool available to do that :(

Could you maybe make a screen or a video to demonstrate the issues? Also an ugly looking txtures when zoomed out could also be a bad custom lod or an autogenerated lod.

Some of the errors in the .txt include: wrong file formats, warning that lod has too much detail, building can not upgrade ot higher level,... Nothing major here.
What might be interesting is this one:
d3d11: failed to create staging 2D texture w=6 h=6 d3dfmt=71 [80070057]
. I have no experience towards direct x issues, but I have read on Kerbel Space forums (which is also based on unity) that forcing -force-d3d11 solves some issues. You can do that by creating a new shortcut on the desktop, open the properties, go the target line and add -force-d3d11 (Your responsbility).

One thing I always mention is: Do not have too many background processes which use too much CPU/RAM while loading/playing CSL. If you have a lot of assets/mods the game needs a lot more RAM. E.g. I once loaded a city and some mods were simply not loaded + I wasn't able to save.

edit:
We can try this: In your Steam Library right-click on this game and choose Properties. Click on Set Launch Options, and paste this in there:
-force-d3d9
