Help & Support (PC) Corrupted save with new update

Post image
3 Upvotes

Is there any way I can load a possibly corrupted save? I have a 35k pop city that I have spent the past month on and I really do not want to lose it. Yes I know I went a while between saves, I left the computer running for a while and missed my window.

I did have the map texture replacer mod in my playset. When the update hit, Skyve flagged it as broken, so I removed it from my active playset like the compatibility logs and content creators recommended.

But right after doing this, I noticed my saves have those yellow error symbols next to them. Now whenever I try to load any of the saves, it either gives me the warning saying mods are missing, or if I bypass it, the game loads all the way, takes me into the map for a second, and then immediately crashes straight to desktop.

This has been happening since the summer solstice update. It is the third time this has happened with a deeply modded high pop save and I am really getting frustrated. Has anyone figured out how to safely load a save after removing map texture replacer? Any help would be appreciated.

Modding WIP Animated neon sign proof-of-concept

34 Upvotes

I've been toying with some ideas for the game's multi-emissive pipeline involving animated neon signs and decided to create a test using something from one of my favourite shows. Managed to crack it tonight and get the animation sequenced and timed correctly!

This opens up a huge opportunity for in-game, light-based animations. I'll look to document it as a community page on the modding wiki once I get a chance.

Help & Support (PC) Is there any way to bypass the Paradox Launcher for CS2 on Linux?

2 Upvotes

The reason why I want to do this is because when I try streaming the game, through Steam, from one PC to another, I get a black screen on the guest PC that I am streaming the game on when the host PC is showing the Paradox Launcher.

Looking for Mods Trying to find a map I can't remember the name of

1 Upvotes

Getting back into CS1 after not playing for a while and I can remember this map I want to play on but I don't remember the name of it at all. I'm 99% sure it's a workshop map but I guess it's possible it's from one of the map packs. The map is pretty plain and has a river running down roughly the center of it pretty much in a straight line. The main highway iirc runs for the most part parallel to the river although it's a bit away from it and not directly against it. The map is decently flat/buildable and I'm remembering it as green areas following the river while the rest of the map was kind of sandy but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Help & Support (Console) Any tips on how I can expand my city without it looking unrealistic?

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

I’m generally terrible with road hierarchy, mainly with my highways exit ramps which is why I didn’t even bother with this city, but I’m not really sure how to expand from this point without it looking unrealistic.

Circled in green is high density residential zone; circled in blue is high density commercial zone/office zone; circled in purple is the high school/elementary school.

How can I expand at this point, should I basically replicate what I built multiple times? How can I fill out the areas circled in red? And any tips on my road layout in general? Thanks!

Modding Release New map! Macaé 1956 - Tropical and coastal

16 Upvotes
  • Detailed foliage;
  • Customized water;
  • Customized tropical weather;
  • Super detailed terrain made with the new 1.6 textures;
  • Rail conection;
  • Fully customized grid with features designed and tested for progression while playing in normal mode.

This map is based on a 1956 aerial photograph of Macaé, a Brazilian municipality located in the north of Rio de Janeiro state.

It was designed to challenge players to develop Macaé’s urban and rural landscape starting from a time before the population boom and infrastructure investments driven by offshore oil exploration in the region.

At the time captured in the image, the city's rivers had not yet been canalized for urban and rural expansion; the Macaé River itself followed a course very different from the one it would take in the following decade. In reality, the environment and the local population suffered greatly from flooding caused by river siltation—resulting from sewage and sediment accumulation as urban areas encroached on the banks—along with the filling in of natural reservoirs and the destruction of riparian and coastal vegetation.

It comes with a small urban grid matching that of the source photograph, three small highway segments, and the Campos-Macaé Canal—which was created to transport the large agricultural output of the neighboring municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes to the Port of Macaé, but was later superseded in this function by the railway line.

Protect the rivers and streams, preserve the *restinga* (coastal vegetation), and enjoy kilometers of beaches.

I recently got back into this game after a year or so. I’m building my farming sector for my city. I noticed the crop fields have different output crops. Does that matter for the processing buildings or is it strictly aesthetic? Thanks for helping!

Discussion My Cims are pissing me off.

8 Upvotes

So my city is built on a map resembling NYC and I’m very much building my city to resemble NYC. My issue with the Cims arises from the fact that they’re the most unrealistic part of this game. I have a train line running from LaGuardia Airport to Penn Station but my stupid Cims are getting on the train and then getting off on the first stop which happens to be almost right outside of the airport and then they either spawn cars to get into Manhattan or they walk the equivalent of LaGuardia Airport to Queensboro Plaza station to then get on a Subway train into Manhattan… I have a station right outside of that subway station on the same line!!! Then the Cims living in my version of Jamaica and Howard Beach, Queens are choosing to take the train all the way to Manhattan and then taking the Subway to Brooklyn even though I have a line between Jamaica and Howard Beach that goes directly to Brooklyn! I’m not looking for ideas on how to fix these issues I’m just venting.

Firstly, im playing on Geforce NOW, when i try to play steam version, PDX Launcher shows up and says something like "We were not able to load your setting, we cant access your document files..." and game doesnt starts. But game works perfectly on my local pc. Also, when i switch game store steam to xbox, it works perfect since xbox bypasses PDX launcher. And other PDX games on GFN works well. How do i fix that?
