Im about done with this crashing BS

[Operator_78]

OK.....so where do I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ start. My computer has gone through multiple upgrades. Changed the hard drive to a 500gb Samsung 870Evo SSD, was working fine. Then more game crashes. I knew that my original vc wasnt enough. (I saved this thing from the county dump, and pieced it together). I have a 650W power supply, so I am getting enough power. I upgraded my vc to a GeForce RTX 3070 and the game played ok. Some crashes, but I dealt with it. My motherboard is an older model, and I was running DDR4 2666hz 16gb ram, now I upgraded to G.Skill DDR4 2666hz and have 64gb ram. My motherboard is a MSI B360M PRO-VDH and the ram capability is 64gb ram. I found a site that recommends all the parts for the motherboard to upgrade. The only thing I havent done is the processor. I have been told by many people that the processor is enough to power the game, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.19 GHz is what is installed.

I have removed all mods and played and still the game crashes. I dont know what the deal is, but Im about ready to just say screw it and uninstall this bish. Any help would be appreciated. I love the game, and as I cant work right now, this game gives me the satisfaction of kinda being out on the road.

Thanks

Can you reproduce it on a vanilla profile (no mods EVER in it)?
Can you post both your game.log and game.crash file to pastebin and link it here?

I will attempt this now.

Any chance you have altered your user config parameters, example: -64bit -nointro -unlimitedlog -rdevice dx11 -mm_pool_size 4096 -mm_max_resource_size 32 mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000
Or altered your config file?

Sounds like a you issue not the game.

Tried to attempt with a new profile and it seems like it works.

Nothing has been altered. If this is something that I need to do, I was not aware. If you have instruction on how to do this, please share with me.

thanks

That isn't helpful, either, you may be getting crashes, but the vast majority of players do not.
If you spend enough time on here reading posts about crashes, you'll find that the player's system, settings and use of mods are the predominant source of their problems, not the game itself. It could have been more politely put, but is essentially true.

To help us see what's happening when your PC crashes, do this:

Verify your game files. You can do this by doing a right-click on the game in your Steam Library and going to "Properties". There you go to "Local files" and there should be the option to verify your files. This will fix any missing or corrupt game files.

******************************************************************************

Go to "C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\American Truck Simulator" after a crash.
Open "game.log.txt" (NOT game.crash.txt), in Notepad or other text editor.
Copy it all, then post it to pastebin.com (split if too big) as a guest.
Post the link to that page here.
If pastebin is not available in your country you can use rentry.co and post that page link here.
On a Mac the American Truck Simulator folder is in your Library and there in the Application Support. On Linux the American Truck Simulator folder is in the .local and there in the share.
On pastebin you paste the whole of your game.log.txt. Click on "Create new paste" at the end of the page. If your game.log file is too big it says it can't do it. In this case split the game.log in half and post the first half there. If everything works you select the content of the address bar, copy it and post it here as a new comment.

Right click on your game title on the left hand side and under GENERAL/SELECTED LAUNCH OPTIONS cut and paste the command I showed you above without the space before -64bit. This command line is for systems with 8GB of system RAM. If that runs ok you can try this command line for 16GB. -64bit -nointro -unlimitedlog -rdevice dx11 -mm_pool_size 8192 -mm_max_resource_size 32 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000 . Other people have mentioned good options as well, this is just another option to try.

This game also does not like overclocking. If your PC is plugged into a power bar that could be a problem but you would think the crashing would occur in other games as well.

This command is no longer in the game:

-mm_max_resource_size 32

To confirm, open the .exe in notepad. All commands can be found in there and this one is no longer there.

So it is a mod issue. Keep in mind: Removing mods is NOT removing the modded parts from your save file.

If you have mods installed then they maybe your problem below is what i do every time there is an update or i have problem's with stuttering freezing or even crashing and problems with texture and graphics

There is no easy way to work through making sure all mods are working

First make sure you have verified your files and then simple run the program in vanilla first
that's a profile which has never had any mods what so ever.

simply follow the steps below if unsure


I always run a complete vanilla version which has never had any mods at all every time that a update is done or a crash happens. Then i do a quick job to test always do a complete quick job at every stage

Then i have a second profile where i test each mod for compatibility where i can remove any that are not updated making sure to do a quick job at each stage keeping any mods active that don't cause a problem

Just add one mod at a time running a quick job for each one then leaving all mods that don't cause a crash activated do the same again always make sure that you do a quick job

Then i have a third profile which is my main game profile which is always working as the first two steps make sure everything is fine.

Hopefully this will help you find any mod that's broken

Good to know. Thank you for the heads up, I will remove it...
