A city disappeared, or something like that

Hello, people, I'll just go to the point since I think the image speaks for itself, how exactly did I come to this? :/ I quick saved, as usual my game froze (usual i mean as when I accidentally play too much time without saving) and I had to guess where to click in a black window after I pressed the windows key to finish the saving, and the city looked fine until I went back to the region and I found this: the name's still there though... I looked for the city everywhere in the game, in other regions, nothing. The city's a 100,000 pop tile so it will be painful to lose it now :/ any thoughts?

Show us the files in that region's folder under Regions, sorted by modify date (most recent being visible).

In the future, always save without exiting, and only exit after saving (never use the "save and exit" option; it's buggy).

    There it is, with Soyapango being the missing city. I didn't save and exit, I saved with quick save and exit without saving and I found that. The bug is that when i quick saved, the game froze and I had to find in a black screen the button of save to continue the saving. I really don't know if this happens to other players but this was a common problem for me but this is the first time this ends up like that...

    Did Soyapango take the place of one of those numbered "Nueva Ciudad" cities that is still in your folder? If there are two city files both trying to load into the same place in the region, then the conflict could be causing a problem. Then again, Soyapango might have been corrupted by the hitch you had saving.

    I don't know about that since I can't even select the tile, I can't even delete the city or create a new one, i might have to fix the whole region cause i don't want to have that big hole :/ Should i delete all the "Nueva Ciudad" files so "Soyapango" could load again?

    I wouldn't delete anything until after opening each blank in the region and noting what number it is (or giving it a name).

    When you decide that Soyapango is probably corrupt, then you might need our resident city-file whisperer to peek inside and see how bad it is. However, you should start now thinking of how to import a replacement (backup or the region's original file for that location).
