Placing pedestrian crossings in editor makes the game crash. Is this a bug?

[unmerged(295201)]

Hey guys

So I've been making my super cool new map but I've run into a bit of a problem. I thought I would finally get around to placing lots of pedestrian crossings around the map, just to get that out of the way in one go, when suddenly the game just exited. There was no crash, no nothing, it just disappeared.

I've never had a crash like this before, the only other crash I've had at all made windows 7 come up with the whole 'cities in motion.exe has stopped responding etc' message. But I've never had the game simply exit itself and disappear with no error message. I checked the event viewer and there's nothing in there either.

So I started the game up again and went back into the editor to try again. I thought I'd try and replicate the incident and sure enough the same 'exit with nothing else happening' crash happened whilst I was placing multiple crossings. Clearly the solution to this is not to place so many crossings at the same time but I still wanted to bring this issue to the devs attention so they can maybe look into it. I was also concerned and wanting to find out if this means that my save file might have become bugged. I've already put so many hours into this map already and it would be unbearable to think that my file might have become corrupted or something like that.

Thank you CO and anyone for any help you can give me with this issue.

I can't help you with this issue but I can confirm that I have the same problem.

But mine happened when I was playing, not in the editor. I put a new passenger crossing near a tram station, so passengers could cross it easier and I got the crash. Again, start the game, put the crossing in the same place, crashed again.

Could you take a screenshot of a place where it crashes? It have never happened here

I'm not sure a screenshot would be much help from me at this stage because it doesn't happen at any particular place on the map or even in any particular set of conditions. It simply happens when a certain amount of crossings have been placed in a short amount of time of each other. There is no telling when or where it will happen, simply at some point placing a crossing will simply cause the game to exit itself. Maybe douglasrac will be able to post a screenshot of the exact location that he was talking about because it sounds like for him it really is one specific place on the map that causes the problem. Also though gibbiz maybe you can try and replicate this by simply loading up a map in the editor and start to place loads of crossings?

I can't provide the screenshot. I don't even remember in which map it happened. But my case won't help much, because I'm using a mod. Like I said, I got the crash because I put the crossing while I'm playing. I'm using the mod that allow me to use the editor tools in-game. So, that may cause crash for other reasons.
If it happens again I will post the saved game and exactly location and time when it happened, if it happens more than 1 time.

Fair enough. Well for me it really does happen every time I place a lot of crossings in the map editor, on any map in fact. And it happens even without mods. So please gebbiz do continue to look into it and see if you can reproduce this issue yourself because I promise it really does exist

Hmm I had this problem too but I have avoid it by not placing the same spot.
I see if i can find the spot again and take a screenie.

This also crashes the game when I place crossings in the editor. Any fix yet?
Not on every placement but every 10 or 20.
I save after placing each crosswalk.
