CTD on loading particular city

[Gammro 0]

Hello,

I was just developing my other cities in the region, and when I wanted to visit my industrial/harbour city, to increase the garbage capacity: It loaded for a few secs(about 10), and then it just gave me a CTD..

I've already tried loading it without any plugins, so no faulty plugins....

Also, it happens just to this one city, all others(that i've tried) all still function well. I've also found an exception report on it, so maybe this can be useful for help:

Was that the first time you had re-entered the harbor city, or had it worked before? When you went to develop your other cities, did you add or take out any plugins? Re-opening a city after removing plugins can lead to crashes sometimes. Also, you mentioned it was a harbor. Do you have any custom functional seaports installed (some can lead to crashes if installed improperly)? Just a couple thoughts...

[TV-VCR 14]

This happened to me before. Lost an entire city because of it. It could be a plugin malfunctioning. Did you plop anything new into the city recently? If you place it in another tile, does it cause a crash? Have you recently downloaded any new mods?

[Gammro 0]

Well, I DO have functional seaports, however, I havn't added one in a couple of months. Also, I never delete Plugins, except if I never use them(which isn't really much, but then again: havn't deleted any in a long time). And the last time I visited the city, I only let the simulator run for a couple of minutes, and since I dont download RCI buildings, no faulty RCI growables could have been added...

[tungston 19]

Once you save a city with conflicting, or faulty plugins, they are in the city, so just removing the plugins from the folder doesn't mean there are no faulty plugins.

[CaptCity 4,694]

Well, if the city has been working correctly, and you've made no changes for months, you might have a corrupt city file. Do you happen to have a backup from an earlier time? Another thought... what seaport have you used in the city?

[DocRorlach 25]

The exception reports won't tell us anything, since I don't think anyone has the DBDF interpreter to translate them.

Since its an industrial city (and since I had the same problem once) my question is if you use any of the following: SG Heliport, CSK Small Port, Heiki Maru Seaport, SWAP Baggage Terminal, BSC Seaport Controller or PEG's Seaport Controller? Any combination of these will cause a conflict that cannot be resolved.

[Gammro 0]

Hmm, I do have a seaport controller, I'll look into it if I got two of them...

[CaptCity 4,694]

...and even if you have just one, some of the earlier ones require very specific files to be installed and no others. Depends on what you have installed.

There's a thread somewhere on SC4D about the seaport controllers; might be worth looking into, it concerns (and shows) which seaports are supported by which controller

[JakeMD 107]

Those are all hex numbers on the left... So it is asking for things that aren't there, then it crashes. My biggest regret is to tell you to re-install your game, but I am almost sure this will fix your problem. Back up your plugins and (well back up your whole simcity 4 folder in your My Documents), Uninstall Sc4, then Re-install it.

[CaptCity 4,694]

Maybe, however, if it's just one city file that has been corrupted due to seaport controller issues, a new, fresh city can be imported into the space without the need to reinstall.

Back up your plugins and (well back up your whole simcity 4 folder in your My Documents), Uninstall Sc4, then Re-install it.quote>

 

If the city file has been corrupted, a backup copy will have the same issue.
