Critical crash with BSOD

[sreckosojic89]

Hello, I've played the game recently and have serious issue.
I've started from scratch, made trolley lines and when I've clicked the trolleybus depot, the sound scratching appeared and the BSOD appeared.
I don't know what's the cause, but it didn't appeared until this day.
Hope you'll answer this, and thanks for upcoming feedback. : )

It would be unusual for a game to cause a BSOD without there being underlying stability issues with the system. Not impossible, perhaps, but unusual.
I have had times where the game can exit to the desktop, but not hard crash as you have described.
you could verify your files for the game.
What happens if you start a new game with the workshop disabled, does it seem fine for you..?

I would also look at your own system to check for stability and updated drivers etc.

You could also look for utilities like a BSOD viewer so that can read the contents of the dmp file, it could offer suggestions as to what might be causing this.

Best of luck, not an easy one.

Hello,
I've verified my files recently (after the issue)
I suspect on dust issue, because it happened on some other games before.
I've cleaned up the whole inside of the PC. It's not new PC, it's actually 2015 model, but game almost ran flawlessly with occassional lag or soft crash.
Specs: 8 GB RAM / Nvidia GTX 750 2 GB RAM / 3.7 GHZ Quad-Core
The log doesn't exist for the crash, but on Event viewer there's recorded code: 70368744177664.
If this points to anything, it's good start.
Thanks for feedback.

What I can tell you is that this specific issue is not related to game by any means. Normally BSOD indicates that your pc can not handle itself and additional load in form of game which can be caused by: dust, incorrect power settings, incorrect system drivers, incorrect BIOS settings, damaged hardware, viruses. While true that there been some memory leaks in older versions (all the way back to 2020) they've all been since patched and all possible breaches removed and capped.

On 100% of cases if something is wrong with game specifically, it will either close without error window, or hang up with white screen. In second case no PC resources will be used and it's only hard to close it becuase it tends to stay as topmost window.

However what I think is that you should do clean install of newest version of your GPU drivers, and make sure that your BIOS is set up to load in UEFI mode rather than Legacy.

Hello everyone,

I also have sometimes blue screen since I installed 0.9.0.12
I expect It's probably my hardware, but the phenomenon only occurred when the beta was installed. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after 1 hour.

Page Fault In Nonpaged Area
(Memory already checked, HDD, newest drivers, anti virus turned off - everything looked ok so far)

System:
- Win 10 64bit
- CPU: XEON E3-1231 v3 3.4 GHz (far below 100%)
- RAM: DDR3 16GB (far below 100%)

Such problems are typically hardware based and exacerbated by some software.
Running various diagnostic and testing software etc outside of the game could help.
Mem testing, Karhu RAM test is what I use.

Ok, thanks for suggestion :)

I'm not trying to be vague. But it is a difficult and time consuming process to determine system stability. Try the likes of OCCT, that is most useful. Combine that with the memory testing utility as well.

Drivers being updated and note what unnecessary applications start up with Windows can help.

[sreckosojic89]

Ok, I have OCCT, I did couple of basic stress tests (15 mins to 30 mins) and it didn't found any errors.
Then, I've scanned PC for malware, also nothing found.
Then there're two options, large amount of dust or BIOS issue.
No problem, you're not vague. Thanks on help.
And also, I've suspended unnecessary applications from startup.
Yes, I've ran memtest and everything seems OK too.
And also I know it isn't game issue, because before that game ran flawlessly...occassional CTD for couple of hours. And I've run the game for 500+ hrs.

[Vimes]

From what I have gathered memtest is not as through as the type of test I have linked for you. Yes, it makes a small cost, but it can show errors beyond that of memtest.

As you might know, OCCT can be ran for several hours at a time. The latest, 12.1.15, having MANY aspects just to the stability test functions.
Stability testing, second one down.....
