Anyone know what causes paving to just disappear when loading a saved game?

[harleyfrank1959]

I have seen this happen on and off with saved games. But not every time.

I load a saved game and any pavements/ paved areas/footpaths/ building paved areas/car park paved areas/etc, just don't appear.

Buildings, etc are there, just any ground cover that is not from the original map isn't.

Close map, load again and it's all OK.

Today, having no joy. though.

All my buildings, etc are all on grass. Not a single pavement or path. Roads are OK.

I assume it's a mod causing it, perhaps.

Any ideas?

It sounds like Surface Painter glitching out from subscribing/unsubscribing workshop items. Best to never do that while the game runs.

If you don't have Surface Painter or haven't touched the workshop while the game is open, then we'd need a look at your output_log.txt (called player.log on Mac and Linux) to see what's going on.

Here's where to find the log depending on your operating system. To easily find the local files for the game, right click your game in the Steam library, select Properties, go to the Local Files tab and select Browse local files.

Windows
<SteamFolder>\SteamApps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\output_log.txt

Mac OS X
Users/<username>/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log

Linux
~/.config/unity3d/Colossal Order/Cities: Skylines/Player.log

As we can't attach files here on Steam, you will need to upload the file somewhere else. Here's a few sites you can upload it to, which do not require you to sign up first:

https://uploadfiles.io/ - free, no sign-up, can handle large log files
https://paste.ee/ - fast, no sign-up required (some log files will be too large for it though)
https://zerobin.net/ - bit clunky, but can handle huge files, no sign-up required
