Game stuck on saving

[test]

Long story short, my game gets stuck while saving the game. I can move my camera but cant build anything and i get the spinning thing up in the right corner saying "saving". I've left it for over 30 minutes and its still there.

Happens everytime. I load a game, play for a little bit and then it gets stuck.


I am fairly certain its some mods but cant find the culprit. Maybe someone has encountered something like this ...

I get the same thing, but it happes to me when I actually save the game

What are your system specs and how much custom content are you subscribed to?

It could very well be that when saving you run out of RAM capacity and that then stalls the game.

In case you are using autosave, try turning that off and saving manually to a new save file.

Also try if the same occurs if you start a new test game. The map would be empty, hence a yet small save file and if that works then you would know it is not mod related.

Ram is not an issue. I've got 16 GB of RAM and the game never uses up more than 10 GB of ram at any given time.

I got this issue on a city of mine (Roxas City, Philippines.crp). I had to re-do everything again as the first attempt failed due to the game says "Saving..." forever. Tried doing a quicksave but the output_log says "Save in progress, quick save request denied", even there's no message saying "Saving package Roxas City, Philippines.crp".

Honestly this doesn't occur on my other cities, plus the mods I use remains the same as I do NOT mass-subscribe mods like other people.

I think it's either the save file having issues, or a broken mod somewhere (for me it is not).

EDIT: If you're going to question me about RAM, it is not clearly the cause, other cities that is much larger runs smoothly without issues. Just one save file is causing this same issue for me, my RAM is 12GB while virtual memory is 32GB. So that's 44GB, while the game only eats 9-10GB.

you're right. RAM is not the issue. I have 32

I think i fixed it.

Not quite sure how. I've disabled a few mods I can live without and it seems its working now?

Ill post here the mods in question but first im gonna play some more, maybe it will freeze again.

I had the same issue but only for one map I was using. All my other saves work fine except for that one. I'm guessing maybe the map. Theme. Or an asset was the culprit

[macluk]

@test and @Fxsxtxr - what was that then?
Parkify mod? (that's the only mod i have added recently and although it worked for some time, now i have problems saving my city.
A map theme?

[test]

I have no idea anymore. I cant remember what it was and at the time I think i forgot to update this thread.

But yeah, it was A mod ... not sure if it was parkify since I think I can recall myself having it after ... dont quote me on that tho.

Sorry i cant be more helpful.

Also had this problem after I added a few mods. I now tried removing Daylight Classic and No Radioactive Desert

I have this problem a lot off times too, i have a feeling its something with network mods
