Crashing to Desktop

[davesnow]

I can't play this simulator without CTD about every ten minutes. Don't tell me it's my Mods, because if I can't use my Mods, I don't want to play. Besides, the only mods I use are Workshop (updated) and Jazzycats. Until this crashing bug is fixed, I won't be playing ATS or buying any more states. I'll go play Trainz or FarCry. At least they don't crash.

I don't wanna say it's your mods but without a log, no one can tell you for sure.

Try verifying game files.
In Steam, right click on the game, select properties, go to local files tab and press verify integrity of game files.

If that doesn't work post your game.log.txt and crash log to pastebin.com (no account needed) and then post the link here and we'll have a look for you (split the game.log.txt into multiple pastes if it is too big).
If pastebin is not available in your country please use http://rentry.co and post the link to it here please. The page works like pastebin.
The files can be found at "C:\Users\*USERNAME*\Documents\American Truck Simulator" for a default install.

Famous last words " Don't tell me it's my Mods".

Yes, it is one or more of your mods. I run a Vanilla never had mods profile and the game has Never crashed.

There is one easy way to find out. If it crashes about every 10 minutes it doesn't take much time.
Play on a (new) vanilla profile without any mods. If it also cashes there than it's something else and you can open a bug report in the SCS Forum.
It could be something about your hardware, drivers, anti-virus, whatever, or even a bug in the game under certain circumstances.

If it does not crash without mods, it's obviuosly a mod problem.

I hope I did this correctly.

I'm going to say what you don't want me to say:
Mod problem. 100%.

Not the fault of the game you use broken mods.

[Qrazy]

Huh. So it was your mods. This is my complete lack of surprise.

And I say that as someone that won't play without mods.

Lucky you. I too run 'golden vanilla' and have had at least one (repeated) crash that was the fault of the game code (as opposed to third party DLLs or running out of memory).

I think across ETS2 and ATS I reported two crashes that are due to the game.

They can happen but are very rare.

The car hauler and Great Midwest weren't even enabled. I haven't used the Great Midwest in many months. I only had one (the latest) version of Daniels Random Events enabled. Go figure....

"Go figure...."

Been there, done that.

[davesnow]

I'm pretty sure it was Arnhooks Container Pack and Train Add-on that was causing my crashes. Since I disabled, no crashes.

[Madkine]

Disabled mods have been known to cause issues too. Remove them from your mod folder.

The crash is caused by a cargo mod of some kind that hasn't been updated since SCS changed the location of some files.

You are running a badly outdated version of this mod:

Active local mod Arnooks_Container_Pack_Train_AddOn_Dec23-2023_-_ATS (name: Arnook's Container Pack - Train AddOn, version: 7, author: Krys Emlyn)

*Also check that other mods are up to date.
