[2020] Error since yesterday when starting the game, help please

Hi there. I already responded to you in the "What to do if your game isn't working" thread, but I'll post my response here too. We won't really be able to help without your log file. :/

I keep getting this error message since this morning, do you know what it might cause it please?

Can you post your output_log.txt (player.log on Mac and Linux) somewhere and link to it here? Then I'll take a look.

This guide explains where to find it and suggests some places you can upload the file to.

I responded in the other thread again as it was first in my notifications. :P Okay, let's try and stay here to avoid confusion. ^^

Thank you! :)

You should remove Infinite Resources and use the much newer Infinite Goods instead.

Does your city load alright despite the error? If yes, try to leave it paused and use TMPE to clear all traffic. Then unpause and see if that does the trick.

If not, try unsubscribing Unlimited Outside Connections, load the game and see if the error is still there (or if you get a new one). Upload another log if you are still having problems, so we can see if anything changed. :)

Awesome, good to hear it was a fairly easy fix! ^^

Thank you! but how do you realized it, I mean where can I read it in the log file? If you have time to tell me :)

Have a great day ^^

Sometimes the error (at the bottom of the log in this case) mentions a mod in all the text. That wasn't the case here. I had a look through all your mods, which are listed about 1/3 into the log. Because I spend a lot of time looking at logs and help update the list of broken mods, I have a good sense of which mods might be troublesome.

As I hadn't seen Infinite Resources before, I checked the mod's page on Steam and could see it hasn't been updated in a long time. So I checked Infinite Goods to see if it covered industrial resources too, as I know that one is updated and used without problems.

So in this case it was a bit of luck and my general experience with mods. Often it's a lot of trial and error figuring out which mods cause which problems, and then keeping track for that for later if others run into the same problems. :)

Ah, some last advice then. When you save your city, always save as a new file instead of saving over the same one. I usually add a number at the end, so I have CityName1, CityName2 and so on. In the rare case that your save gets corrupted, you would then have several older versions of the city as backup. It sucks losing progress, but it's definitely better than losing the whole city. And while it's rare to have saves corrupt, it does happen here and there.

Have a great day! ^^
