Hey everyone!

Am currently having a great time with the PS4 version of Cities Skyline however as i'm working on my 9th area it seems that it constantly crashes and a PS4 error code of 'CE-34878-0' would always be displayed. The suggested solutions to this error code were to update the game and the PS4 console however both my game and console are up to date already.

The crash would occasionally happen right after a long drop in frames, where it's extremely difficult to move the camera due to low frames and subsequently the game would crash. The long drop in frames usually happens when i'm moving the camera around. The crashing would also occur just randomly as i move the camera around my city even without the drop in frames. However, if i just leave the camera looking at an empty spot on the map and not move the camera around it won't crash, though that would mean that i can't really play.

Perhaps this happens because my city is getting a bit big (around 120k population) and the PS4 can't handle it. I'm not 100% sure why this is happening or if it's due to my PS4 but i hope to hear people's thoughts on this situation and in an ideal situation have a solution be provided.

Other than the crashes i can't emphasise enough how fun the game has been!

Sincerely,

EDIT/UPDATE: I've also noticed that the crashing also happens a lot when the game is auto-saving (at this current state with the 9th piece of land).

EDIT2 - PS4 Details:
- Original PS4
- Firmware: Issues occurred on the previous firmware (from the current latest version as of this post) so it'd be the version before 4.74. Have not played/tested since 4.74 was released.
- Only happening in Cities Skylines, no other games is having this issue. Difficult to say when it happens as it just constantly occurs as i play the game (read above when it occurs). Am not sure if it affects other save files from Cities Skylines due to me only have the 1 save file.

I haven't gotten to 120k yet (around 95k now), so I haven't experienced any problems, but I've seen people say crashes on xbox are from not having enough free memory on the console or from having too many Cities Skylines save files.

When you say you're on your 9th area do you mean your 9th save or are you talking about the 9 pieces of land you can buy?

Thanks for the reply! 9th piece of land is what i meant when saying "9th area". At the moment i only have 1 save file.

Hi I would also like to report similar frame drops, really bad (heavy stutter) then fails to continue/crashes showing the same error code as mentioned above. Also for me I can no longer play the game, also at 9th tile but not nearly done. Please fix the city building feature in this city builder! Two weeks since the last message was posted here. TS and myself are anxious to read a reply on this.......

We've open a ticket to the developers about this but just to see if we can find some common cause, can everyone that has this issue please share:

- Model of PS4 (Slim, Pro etc)
- What firmware version you have (for the PS4)
- A summary of the issue (does it happen at the same time, does it affect all saves, are other games having similar issues etc)

You said "occurred", does this mean that the crashing has stopped after the latest firmware update of the PS4?

Not too sure to be honest. I accidentally deleted the save file before the 4.74 firmware update so i haven't tested this issue on the latest firmware and also i haven't played the game since.

Was hoping to get back into playing the game once news on this issue was brought up by both members of the community (to see if i was the only one having this issue) and also the devs.

My game crashes after 5 minutes,

I got a city of 420k and after 5 minuted i got huge frame rate drops.

If the game doesnt work normal after 10 seconds it crashes.

Im trying to get the last achievement, 1001 nights, but it gets really frustrating. I need 150 more years.

Hello, me too and it's like hell !! Constant crashes with that PS4 blue screen... I send the notification to Sony support with the hope that someday we'll have a patch, but even with Mass Tansit, the game still keeps crashing... I reinstalled it completely and properly but it didn't change anything! My population reached about 12500 citizens
Standard PS4. Totally updated. 2to HD. About 20 games, work fine.
Installing the new big train station and zooming on the railroads for arranging them was a terrible moment ! Crashes every 3, 4 minutes. I love this game and I chose the PS4 edition to play it relaxed in my sofa after a hard work day... So...
Thank you for the patch i've been waiting for 2 or 3 months. Best regards from France, Philippe

-Standard PS4
-System software 6.0 (just updated within last couple days)
-happens randomly on all saves. I did delete all other save files which seemed to have stopped the issue, but now I've started a new city. I don't want to delete my last city as I worked really hard on it.

Today is been crashing every 5 minutes it seems, don't know if this has anything to do with the recent PS4 update that happened a couple days ago - but previous to that update the game did not crazy nearly so often.

On this save file I had almost 80,000 population, then I caused it to be mostly abandoned for a unique building, and now it seems to be crashing a lot. Maybe because of all of the abandoned buildings and me bulldozing them? If it's not about the update

Anyone else noticed that certain graphics are going crazy lately (maybe after PS4 update 6.00)? Especially the trees are driving me mad when I move over the area It's like a flickering carpet of greens. Making the game almost unplayable :-( again ... I've heard a patch is in the making. But I've heard this more than two weeks ago. The said it was coming soon ... urgh
