Summary​

I load my saved game. Once it loads up I unpause the game. Within 30 seconds or less the game will CTD. There is no warning or error message when it CTDs. This happens on multiple saves. If I keep the game paused I am able to do things until I delete something the game doesn't like and CTD.

Steps to reproduce​

Restart PC. Open game. Load saved city. Unpause game. CTD. Follow same steps but load a different save and same results.
Restart PC. Open game. Load saved city. Keep game paused. Delete a certain road or try to move dam and CTD.

Expected Result​

I don't know. I expect the game to work I suppose.

Actual Result​

Keep the game from crashing on a city with 1500 people and no mods.

same problem and it happened to me today for the first time, I load the game and if I pause the game not ctd, as soon as I unpause after 5 seconds the game ctd. This has never happened to me and no warning appears, have you solved it somehow?

Fighting same issue. Would occasionally happen, but hit a city save where now I can't even load it without it crashing to desktop. I opened a support ticket and got the below response. Waiting for more information. What asset? What's a fix? Hopefully they come back with something soon.

There seems to be a problem with a particular asset in use in that save game file:

[SceneFlow] [WARN] Unknown prefab ID: ExpenseStatistic:Expenses
[SceneFlow] [WARN] Unknown prefab ID: IncomeStatistic:Income
[SceneFlow] [WARN] Unknown prefab ID: LevelStatistic:WellbeingLevel
[SceneFlow] [WARN] Unknown prefab ID: LevelStatistic:HealthLevel

It is unusual for assets to cause problems, but not unknown!

No resolution so far I'm afraid. Basically unplayable at the moment.

I have the same issue. Driving me crazy. It looks like I can edit roads if I place a road first and then build a road through another road, for some reason this fixes that issue. Still can't unpause the game though. I tried all the settings in Dev Mode, resetting basically everything had no effect. I had for the past few hours on pause built a major ring road around the city which required deleting all the road connections to the city, I saw that some people in the past had an issue with caused by the game mass rerouting traffic which might have been the issue, but deleting all vehicles doesn't seem to change the game at all.

So, I was able to fix the issue by manually downgrading the game to 1.18. Not sure if it'll still break when I update. Not going to test it right now though.

Just curious..... what are the points of the bug reports if they just get pushed down in a forum? How does this fix my issue? Is anyone actually looking into the issue?

 

[HorusRa.]

Same problem here. Ever since the 19f1 hot fix patch it's been crashing straight out to the desktop. The other day it just simply froze and I had to reset the pc. The game didn't seem to want to allow me access to task manager to end the froze game.

 

[Charco83]

Same here, happening on multiple save games and cities of varying sizes (all below 20k pop). Can play in pause mode, as soon as I un-pause simulation it crashes without any warning. Running in devmode and clearing traffic/people forces the crash as well. Something really broken with the simulation.....

Things I have tried
- Complete uninstall / reinstall of CS2
- Complete uninstall / reinstall of nvidia drivers
- Verify game files
- Tried resetting various options in devmode
- Tried older saves
- Removed unity.dll
- Removed all mods

Please fix this as I can tolerate performance issues, bugs or lack of features but the game is actually unplayable as it crashes and I continually lose progress...

Same problem here. Start game in paused. As soon as I unpause the game. it crashes:

I have the same problem on a save file. First time CTD for me. The game crashes a couple seconds after unpausing. By loading earlier and earlier saves, I found that the probable cause was that I destroyed and rerouted a highway near my city. Maybe massive new route calculations are to blame ?

 

[Kleinate]

Same here, happened to me for the first time since the game released (I rarely got crashes). I could load the game just fine and build roads but as soon as I started the simulation it just CTD straight away. I've installed and reverted the graphic driver, verify the integrity of files, reinstalling the game but nothing works unfortunately, so I guess right now this game is pretty much unplayable.

Same here....

 

[dk61]

I facing the same issue for a week. I tried reinstalling the game, removing dll, and redownloading it.

Before this happens, I made big rebuild of the city, during pause, I'm not sure will it be helpful or not. Save after city has been rebuilt.

Game version: Xbox 1.0.19f1 (260.25596) [5348.29553]

Specs:
13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13980HX 2.20 GHz
32GB
Nvidia 4080 Laptop

I hope save and dump file will helps you to find the issue.

 

[Escaflown]

Bonjour,
Même soucis que tout le monde ... Je sais pas quoi faire après réinstallation, problème récurrent... blazé

 

[Hellothere0-0]

Yup the same for me. Never had any crashes before and now the game is unplayable

 

[hugazo]

Same issue here, basically ended up uninstalling everything and reinstalling vanilla without any luck so far. This version is basically broken, can't load even a new game.

 

[Pallay2]

Same issue here...I've tried just about every troubleshoot as well. Hopefully Paradox notices this because the game is completely unplayable atm

 

[Charco83]

We need everyone to upvote this, as it's a critical bug. There is a lot of bugs confirmed or in review that are not causing the game to be completely unplayable, this is rendering the game completely useless..... Dev's please look at this one asap!!

 

[Xero82]

Same happened to me last night. Had been working in pause mode all week while I build out extensive highway and rail networks. I hope this is fixable, I have 300 hours in this city. Won't be playing again until resolved, feels sickening to have all that time and effort potentially wiped out. Fingers crossed for a hotfix!
