Startup/shut down issues
If I'd have been given one pound sterling, or one euro, or one dollar every time I have had to restart FS 19 I would be considerably richer. I close the program down as I should but there have been many times when the program just will not shut down. I have to use Ctrl/Alt/Delete, which doesn't always work, or a complete restart. Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong.

I had an issue similar to this a couple of years ago. It turned out to be the SSD on that computer, where the game was installed, was dying; it was EOL. If the game can't record what was used in VRAM and RAM, then it chokes while trying to shut down. This may or may not be your issue.

Never had to use an SSD, but thanks anyway.

You're still using a HDD for your C drive? I'm assuming your game data is located typical in your user folder. If so, that might be your problem. HDD's are hugely slower in reading and writing data than SSD's. Also, HDD's need to be defragmented periodically or they get messy, and sluggish.

I tested the difference a couple of years ago, and moved my FS19 installation and data storage from my C drive (SSD) to my HDD. It literally took 10 times longer to load the game at startup, and about that much time to shut down. I moved it all back.

There is another possible cause: Your GPU is overheating. That can be due to age and/or insufficient power to handle your savegame. Especially if you have installed many mods, and have increased your number of mods significantly since you started experiencing these lockups.

There's also another possibility: If you are using mods, and added some about the same time you started experiencing these issues, you may have some bad/conflicting mods. You can verify this by checking the date stamp on mods in your mod folder, noting which ones were added about or after the time the issues started. Then, before you launch your savegame, deactivate those mods and see if the issues persist. Back up your data folder first, in case this is not the issue.

Looks like one or two mods too many, and with reference to your mention that I do not have a SSD, I work on the premise that if it isn't broken then it doesn't need mending, and should I need A SSD then I'll have to pay someone to install said drive and transfer all of my data.

And all because I wanted a European grain carrier for a British farm!

SSD isn't the concern itself. This could happen with bad sectors on any storage drive.

the suggestion to reinstall is a good one, but you may just end up installing to the same spot on the drive over again.

A drive checking tool is a solid direction to go just to be sure.

SSD is easy to install and fast and easy to transfer data from so why pay someone for that :steamhappy:

Fear of messing it up.

Sounds like you found the problem. :)

Keep an eye on those mods. I've had several over the past 3 years that sent my game wonky. I soon developed a practice of adding only one mod at a time, and testing it thoroughly before adding another.

I think there is a test map just for testing mods in the hub as well

An equal part of the test is to see how/if it conflicts with the rest of one's mods, and one's map.
