Loading custom map stops at about a fifth with loading

[Vedantaman]

I easily can start a game with a base-map, no mods installed. Now i downloaded a player-made map from this workshop. I start the free game, pick open maps in the right cormer, choose for my downloaded map and start the game.
It sudenly stops at about 20% (game text keeps changing above the progress bar), and I only can can get out of the game by taskcontrol.
Already reinstalled the game, but it all doesn't work. I have no mods anymore and I checked if the maps use no mods. What can I do more??

I tried it with 6 different maps, some with, some without mods. It happens all the time

How long are you waiting for it to load, the more populated "old" and size a map is are factors in how long it takes to load. My current map is a medium with 100 mods and in 1990's will sometime take 5 minutes or more to load.

Please post details of the save game you are trying to run

That also happened to me with the current version of the game, I tried with different sizes of maps and they all started fine, but when loading my saved progress, it stuck for approximately 20%, I also clarify that I play without mods , there was an occasion that I left it loading for about 4 hours and nothing progressed, my recommendation if you want to continue playing, is that you go back to a previous version of the game where if it loads the progress, that is what I did and I play without problems, to do it You have to go to Settings -> Properties -> Betas -> in the code bar enter "buildArchive" with the version number you want to return, in my case I play in version 35049, the code would be "buildArchive35049"

That should work at least until the developers fix the bug, I understand they are already working on it.

What are the maps are you trying to load? Is it a map or a save game? Link the map/save game here in your thread. What is your hardware?

Thanks a lot. This worked for me as well. I would just mention that you mean settings here in Steam and not the settings in game. ). Cheers)
