Help weird behaviour

[Maranoir]

Hi, im having a big trouble in the game all of a sudden

Suddenly my income from buses decreased. When i look for the problem i see that there are a lot of cars or trucks stopped in the middle of the roads, completely stopped!

Last time i played it was normal but today my game became crazy.

In the first screenshot the trucks are completely stopped before entering the industry.
In the second screenshot the green car is stopped and after some minutes it just disappeared
In the third screenshot my buses stayed stopped for some minutes at the bus stop.

It seems to me that you just have traffic problems in those areas.

Thanks for answering Admiral, but the problem is all over the city, the buses stay a lot of time stopped, trucks dont get into industries as you see in the screenshots (they normally enter a industry, they dont stay stopped in the middle of the street!). Apart from that, i was earning 10.000 $ before saving the game and right now im losing -3.000 and buses stopped earning money (because they are all stopped at bus stops)

In the second screenshot, the car queue is not moving, it is just stopped.

(I would actually have to look around and play your city to see if it was a "weird" problem, or something that could be solved.)

I'm just over 60,000 population and have been noticing many problems. Or weird behavior as you put it.
But I don't think its a game flaw. I don't use mods, but I do use a few assets that I find work and are balanced in the game, or just for fun for variety.
I've spent many days when I have the time to play, just trying to get my city stabalized and working smoothly. When I fix one problem, five more come up, argh!

I fixed the train build up problem by not connecting my train stations directly to the "out of city" lines. It's working well, but, then there is this!
Heheh!

They just stop completly in the middle of the street and dont move anymore? Weird.
What if you upgrade that street to one way and/or change direction? Do they react again or are they still stuck?

@Maranoir , the cars just stopped in the middle of the road look like a bug of some form. That behaviour is not normal in vanilla, so my first guess would be that it is due to a mod. But if it is only happening occasionally maybe it is a problem with AI due to a road or destination being deleted and pathing becoming confused?

@Admiral 8Q , your issue looks to be just due to station placement. Station as some of the highest congestion points in the game, and having the two entrance points at the exactly the same location is a nightmare. (Even having the stations on the same road would be problematic).

I am having the same problem as OP. My game was just fine two days ago and yesterday I couldn't play.

All my traffic stopped, even the pedestrians.

No, the game wasn't in pause.

Maybe is a problem with a mod but I don't know which one lol

Not all, some cars, some trucks etc. When they dissapear (i think you call it despawn) , the others go on running. THe main problem are the trucks that stay a lot of time in the industries, i dont know why , the same as the buses that stay a lot of time in the bus stops even when there are no people. I have begun a new game without mods and now it works fine. It might be a mod.

Yes , it is random, but when they despawn it seems to be fine. But the problem is still the trucks loading or unloading, they take a lot of time doing that, when they normally load and unload quickly.

I have begun a new game without mods and it is working well.

I turned them off. I had Trafic++ and other called something like Extended ui traffic that allows you to toggle trafic lights. But i had to start a new game as with the saved game there is an error if i turn off mods.

Look at these screenshots, my trucks are stuck in the industries . They stay there a lot of time, thats why there is a long queue. They suppose to load and unload fast.
In the second screenshot, look at the garbage truck in the middle of the screen, it behaves in the same way, it is stuck.

If you re using Traffic++ mod then turn on ghost mode, the latest update is causing some very strange problems. The dev is working on it and has said if he can't sort it soon he will temporarily downgrade to the previous version while he works out the bugs.

I would look at using the Traffic Manager mod, won't work with Traffic ++ though. It would allow you to set timed lights, yields, etc. It would also allow you to clear the traffic which should help with the glitch

thank you!!
I was having the same problems and even more (building a new intersection would stop traffic flow FOREVER) and this solved it

[barrygreybeard]

Heads up folks, the latest version is now live and seems to have solved the performance and other issues
