Freezing after 30 min. in game

[Rouxxor]

Hi there,


I'm a big player of ETS2 and ATS but I meet some problems never seen before from a few time with ETS2: when I'm playing, everything is ok until about 30 minutes, then the game crash. That's the case even if there are no cities around me or heavy stuffs to load. That seems it always after an half hour of playing.

Game crash and then I have to restart completely my computer to close the game, impossible for me to kill the process.

Here, you can find my gamelog > https://pastebin.com/Byg6f5q8

Thanks for your help!

Play until it crashes and then post that log, this is from a normal quit.

[Rouxxor]

I didn't play since the crash...

[kaki_gamet]

00:01:33.517 : [sys] Process manager shutdown.

This log is one minute and half long and closes normally.

I have the same problem, it's a pain.

[Nimir-Raj]

Looking at the log that is clearly not a normal shutdown procedure.

Start a completely new profile and see how that goes, you are using mods so it's more than possible one of those is the issue. Try on a brand new profile and you'll know straight away if it's a mod or a tech issue.

If it is a mod conflict then surely the game would crash immediately and not run for 30+ minutes?

I'm not an expert but not necessarily, I don't think. It can crash just when that particular 'broken bit' of a mod gets loaded in-world as well. And if you're doing the same exact run after a crash, you'd be hitting that loadpoint at about the same time. But it's not related to the time. Necessarily.

[Nimir-Raj]

Exactly. Without knowing what is broken there is no way to know why it is crashing.

It could be a sound file in a company yard, if you don't go in the yard then the sound isn't triggered and no crash.

If it's a sign post in Finland, but you're driving around France for three hours, then again you won't crash until you go to Finland and the sign loads.

Again same with AI traffic. If you have a lot of traffic mods it could be blind luck as to when the problem vehicle/trailer spawns.




A few updates ago I was having random freezes that required me to kill the game in task manager, I couldn't figure it out at all. There seemed to be no reason or rhyme for it, it wasn't in specific places, it wasn't after a specific time frame. Some times I could play 20 minutes, other times 90+

In the end I noticed the cities I was going to all had the same trailer in the freight market, after checking the trailer in Blender I realised that one of the LOD models had a minor issue with variants. It was enough to make the game crap out but leave no errors in the log. At the end of the day, never rule out anything as a potential cause.

Easiest way to be sure is to just start a new profile with no mods and play for a few days. If the issue stops then you know it's a mod.

[Rouxxor]

That's strange, I disabled all mods with my profile...

thats not enuf, some mods bake stuff in the saves.
just create a new profile and see if there is a problem there.
theses kinda thingsa are alomst always modissues, unless you hradware is really low.

[Jurda]

I have the same issue, I disabled all my mods, created a new profile, but it's still crashing.
Maybe it's because I have a 32-bit system Win7 :(
Can you please help me?

[Rouxxor]

I created a new profile after I had disabled my old mods. I was able to play few games without problems for a time...

[Rouxxor]

So I've just had a new crash, same conditions. I have a clue this time, it seems to be linked with the radio. That's always happened with a specific title, nevertheless in mp3 format, wich is played after 30 minutes of game. It encounter the crash at a specific point in the music. I deleted this song, and replaced it far in the order's playing.

You can find the new log here! https://pastebin.com/AXnNA8rY

If it's choking on that last song in the log, try renaming the file to NOT have that .com in the title. Could be something odd with the music processing that is causing an issue with that. Long time ago .com was a file extension for executable-type stuff. ;)

[Madkine]

If it was simply the .com it would have crashed 16 mins earlier when a similar file was played.

If you want to be 100% sure it's that song, start the game and select that song immediately.
