Region Census Error

[Mr.Jones2005 4]

Recently I just tried loading up my city into Region Census and got this error. Tried trouble shooting it but no luck. If anyone has any ideas to try I'd love to hear them. I tried other regions and the region census worked so it can't be that. Another thing is I have used Karen's replicator to make back ups because I don't want to mess up a tile and have thought that could be the problem. I checked the files and it looks like everything is good. The region loads up great in SimCity 4 and nothing looks corrupted. It's not the end of the world if I can't access it. But I'd love to be able to open it to use the image feature to plan out the development and planned stages. I attached a picture of the Region Census error and screenshots of the region folder (I can't figure out how to add the region file or I would) if you see anything that I missed like a weird file that is named wrong that I missed. A lot of the files are a New City (1-150) that just because I opened the tile and saved so it loaded a nicer thumbnail.

That's certainly a lot of cities. Maybe that's the issue? Are you able to open other regions?

Ya I've tried other regions in my region folder. No problems with them. Not the end of the world but kinda sucks.

If your region was smaller, I would recommend you to make a new empty region of the same size and move all your cities there, but honestly that's too much work for something that's not essential to play the game.

Use 4G Patch over Region Census. It should solve the problem

[Mr.Jones2005 4]

Tried using the 4gb patch over Region Census and still no luck. But I did kinda solve the problem. I made a seperate file and added the config and region file and then added each city in batches until I found which ones were not working and it was 4 tiles. I recently made a post about a tile I couldn't click on due to the hit box being glitched plus high terrain. In solving that problem I removed those tiles and added them back in. I believe in messed with the city tiles that why they won't show in the region census. If I find a solution I'll add it to this forum.

I notice in your pic in that thread with the trouble solved, they didn't show a name. Did you use some special characters or such when naming? And if so, what about simply loading them and obliterating to fully reset them?

Are any of your cities duplicated in that folder? I had an issue where one of my older cities had 2 files and it caused region census to fail. I had to remove one (the one with the older last modified date in properties) to get it to work.

Also with big regions like this, you may not be able to export as png. I can only do jpg for my mega region, even with 4gb patch applied.

Hope this helps!
