 I'm not sure what you mean by a "car and passenger stop," but if you are using any NAM pieces and you let them hover over any transit-enabled lot in the game, that will crash the game.  Could that be it?

If you have the newest version of NAM installed and are placing a car and passenger ferry, there is a chance that the game will crash. This is due to the new draggable FAR pieces and how they are made. This is a problem that the NAM Team is aware of and a fix is in the works.

For now, you might try placing the ferry in a different location so that is is turned in a different direction. Some have said the ferry will work facing some directions but not others.

While writing I couldn't remember the word ferryI mean that with auto and passenger stop...So you said that this happened because of the latest version of the NAM?The crash happened exactly in the moment i placed the ferry stop...Without getting the possibility to drag a road through it...Do you think is the NAM causing the game to crash?

The NAM Team have confirmed that their latest update has tools which conflict with the car and passenger ferry, and will cause the game to crash. I suggest following CaptCity's advice, and try facing the terminal in a different direction, as for some, it seems to work facing in certain directions.

Yes. If you have the newest NAM (May 2110), and you place a Car & Passenger Ferry, the game might crash - depending on the orientation of the ferry. It will happen immediately, not when you drag roads through the ferry. It is due to the ferry having two 3-tile parallel stretches of transit-enabled road, which happens to be the same requirement for creating a straight FAR piece. The game is "confused" on how to handle it and crashes. There is a more detailed (and better) explanation in this post by Tarkus.

I, myself, get crashes if the arrow on the ferry lot is facing east only. Others have mentioned that crashes occur if the arrow faces east and north. If you are building a new city, you can temporarily remove the NAM folder from the plugins and build the ferries. Once they're built, you can put NAM back into the plugins and continue the city. NAM will not have issues with existing ferries, only with ones you place while NAM is loaded.

That's interesting!I'll follow your suggestion...Is the NAM team(if you know)trying to solve this problem?
