Cities: Skylines (Xbox) - Service buildings broken. Roads buggy and no one is getting jobs.

[Josipi]

Describe your issue
Service buildings broken. Roads buggy and no one is getting jobs.

What is your game version?
12.1.0.0

What expansions do you have installed?
After Dark, Snowfall, Natural Disasters, Mass Transit, Green Cities, Parklife, Industries, Campus

What mods are you using?
None as i play vanilla on console (xbox)

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
All of my service buildings are not working. Garbage is piling up in my city despite placing an incinerator. Having tapped on the incinerator, the number of garbage trucks active keeps going from 1 to 0 and visa versa. Garbage trucks that are sent out despawn after a few seconds. I cannot play the game because of this and this bug is happening on all of my cities.

The roads are also broken as there is large voids between them.

I love this game so much and have been playing it since 2018 so any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.

1.There is an update today that may or may not help your issue.
2.Trucks despawning like that is often a sign of a bad road connection. Make sure you don't have a one way road backwards preventing the truck from getting where it needs to go.

This issue is real, my city's destroyed all of a sudden. Played this game for years, this is not user errors

RenengadeDragon - thanks for trying to help, but this isn't poor road connections, one way roads or anything like that. Quite obviously something more major, total buggout

 

[fitzini]

spent probably 5hrs across a few nights trying to fix this (/well actually try workaround, as obviously bugged). Nothing works. Well planned city infrastructure, which has taken ages, is ruined. Hanging the game up, no point investing any further time into CS console, as this issue is almost certain to happen again. Poor

An update is being worked on, may come next week. Try resetting your roads where you see them glitched. Just swap them, maybe to tree or grass edges and then back. Seems to help. Did you double check your budget tab, that you did not accidentally set it wrong, I've done that. Is your other traffic getting to their destinations? What percent % is your traffic at?
I'm on a Xbox one x, other than resetting some roads I am able to play . I've only seen bus routes not getting through , resetting the roads helped. Best of luck!

 

[fitzini]

Cheers dude, thanks for the advice. I tired resetting a few roads without luck, but I'll give it a better go. Budget tab is fine for garbage, set to highest 150%. Good to hear update coming out, many others must have had same issue? Is there an explanation for exactly how it's happened? ... does mean I'll have to spend 10mins removing the hundreds of waste facilities I placed last night in anger!!

 

[RenengadeDragon]

Yes you need to remove an excess of waste facilities. I read somewhere that will confuse the AI. Will cause the 0 to 1 issue. Lower budget to no more than 120%, again confuses the AI. If you see a gap , tear or a "streach mark'" reset the road. If you have CCP Vehicles of the World, set incinerators to waste management truck. It has the largest capacity. In the lower right corner do I see a Orange icon for a full trash dump? Either turn it off for now or destroy it with a sinkhole.
A moderator from Paradox has posted in the forum that they hope to get out a patch maybe next week, that yes there are bugs with the last update. As I said I'm on Xbox too. I am having issues with roads and bus lines. But not trash. I'm still able to play after resetting a few roads each time I play. Again good luck!

 

[fitzini]

Cheers. Yeah I'll remove those waste facilities, only added them to see if it would make any difference - likewise with budget. Indeed there is a full facility bottom right, I'll correct that lot and have another stab replacing those roads - though the sample I replaced recently didn't make any difference. Looking forward to that patch, don't really want to waste more evenings trying to just fix stuff!

 

[fitzini]

Hi All, do we know if this patch has been released? Fancy some CS, but a stress-free session of CS!

 

[fitzini]

Persevered to no avail. Update in, tears gone, garbage trucks still not despatching. I again spent another hour trying to workaround, it's just broken. Every industry/type is fine, just garbage. What a waste of time

 

[RenengadeDragon]

What type of garbage services do you have? Are they all in one place? What is your traffic % at? Try dropping your budget way down.

 

[fitzini]

Literally tried everything re rubbish services -had loads of refuse collection points and processing facilities, some incinerators. Amongst all the various efforts, one was to remove them all and go back to incinerators (IE back to original vanilla). No luck. Then deleted everything mail related, as there were loads of trucks happily driving about. No luck. Replaced loads of roads, no luck. Traffic's 85% I think, the city uses a decent road network. Totally broken.
