How to remove missing assets?

[Ch0p]

Hey,

I have around 1300 assets installed at this state. I use the Loading Screen mod and it tells me that there are 250 assets missing. So I did a little troubleshoot and was doing some research. I know that I can look at the log file to see which items are missing. I then recognized that the missing assets are only gone when I subscribe to them again. But I also want to reduce my assets so the game runs a bit more smoothly. I unsubcribed the assets I don't need anymore and then tried to load the game. The assets I removed are now also "missing" what somehow now leads to a game crash after it loaded because my RAM runs full. So I don't know how I can remove the assets to be complety gone and not popping up to the missing ones.

For example: I had many Container Assets for a shipyard. But I said to myself that I will not use them anyways so I removed them. And now they appeared at the "missing assets" when I try to load the game.

Does anyone know what I can do there without creating a new city?

Turn on the report option in the Loading Screen mod which will make a report in the folder mentioned just under the option. This will tell you what is missing (some of which may be needed).

This is exactly what I already did and wrote. I checked all the assets which were in the log file but I wasnt subscribed to even one of them. SO the mssing assets thing just goes away when I subscribe to it again what I dont want to do :/

I just want do get rid og the missing assets without resubscribing to them

The only way of doing that is to unsubscribe from the items that require those missing assets.

Chances are that a number of the missing assets are part of another asset such as a building and if that building is still in your city you'll get the missing reports unless you download these, if you don't want those assets for whatever reason you don't have to download them and you can ignore the messages from those but keep this limited a an absolute minimum.

As far as the shipping containers are concerned if their not part of a building then after saving the game and reloading those reports of being missing will be removed.

If you have another recent save you can fall back to go to Content Manager / Saves and click subscribe all wait for downloads to finish then click enable all, this should get you back to where you were.

There are a number of things you can do to improve performance but we'll need to know your system specs before we can advise what's best for you, also include how many mods and assets you have.
Can you go to the top menu in Steam , select Help, then select System Information and copy and paste the info that appears in the box into your next post so we can see your system specs.

What is the size of your virtual memory/paging file? Whilst 16GB memory should be enough, if you've got several DLCs as well as workshop assets this will be eaten up fairly quickly.

Where can I check the virtual memory/paging file? Yeah when I load the savegame it eats up my 16 gigs and during the game around 12GB are used from the whole system.

To easily get your page file information use Windows + R to open the Run box then enter msinfo32 then click OK. Part way down that information will be Page File Space.

Ok I will try that but I have a GTX not an AMD :D

[shaneturner12]

It's probably called something similar in NVidia's settings (I cannot check as I've got an AMD card).
