Airports Dev Diary #3: City Airline

[Hubbubb17]

Can you attach your output_log.txt from after having placed the Airline HQ? It's found in the Cities_Data folder where the game is installed. The easiest way to find it is right-click on the game in your Library, select Manage and then Browse Local Files.

I think this is the most recent. The only catch is I wasn't able to successfully place, so ...

Unfortunately, I didn't spot any indication as to what mod might cause it. The quickest way to find the one causing it is to disable half of your remaining mods and check if the issue is there. If it is, disable half of the mods still enabled. If it's gone, enable half of the last batch you disabled. Repeat until you find the one causing it. Make sure to restart the game between each load as some mods don't work correctly when reloading.

Thanks for all your help. I’m going to have to go back to the drawing board. This morning, before I saw your reply, I actually disabled EVERY mod (except the more vehicles mod… but I’d swear I discovered the problem before activating it and I don’t need it anyway). So I’m probably going to go back to an earlier save game, rebuild the airport with no mods active and then see what happens. Because with all but one mod inactive (or do I need to unsub them too?) the game still froze.

Is it possible that a custom asset can cause a freeze like this? I’ve been looking at my cpu, gpu and RAM performance throughout and nothing is maxing out.

It is also possible for me to build an airport that I like without the airline headquarters. This city has no problem generating cash flow, so tickets from travelers are relatively inessential. This is the last part of this build anyway and then I’ll be starting a new city.

Other assets shouldn't affect it no. Does it also happen if you test with the launch options -noWorkshop and -disableMods on? Or at least just -noWorkshop if you don't have any locally installed mods, so you can use Unlock All to test it easier.

How To Set Launch Options

• Right-click on the game title under the Library in Steam and select Properties.
• Enter the launch options you wish to apply in the box (be sure to separate each code with a space). Should look like this:
  

  -noWorkshop -disableMods

• Close the game's Properties window and launch the game.

@co_avanya More Vehicles mod has been identified as the cause of this issue, and the author has already located and patched it in the code. The update is currently waiting for QA before it can be released.

@co_avanya and @ristosal Thank you so much for helping with this! Trains seem to be OK now.
