Help....Promods 2.20 keeps crashing

[flight50]

I finally decided to give Promods a try after a year of play ETS2 and it keeps proving to me why I don't deal with map mods. The potential crash/ not working is in effect. I have done just as the Promods site instructed, yet as the game tries to load up promods, it keeps crashing and never opens. I made 2 brand new profiles with nothing but promods tagged to it. I also followed the correct order Promods said to do to load them in the mod manager. I do have my main ETS2 profile that has mods from the same mod folder and it crashed to. That is when I tried the new blank profiles but same result. Below is my crash log.

Crash log is only useful to developpers and sorry but they probably won't help you with map mods. Post the game LOG if you want us to help but quick question first:

Do you have all three DLC installed (East/Scandinavia/France)?

[MandelSoft]

1. We need a game.log, not a crash.log, when it comes to modding problems
2. Check if you have all required DLC.
3. Check if you're using the correct game version
4. Rule out other mods that may cause problems
5. The ProMods website usually helps you more quickly on issues regarding ProMods.

Apologizes. I figured since it crashed, it was the crash everyone post. MandelSoft, I know you were or are the lead developer for Promods so I was hoping you would come thru. My game log is :

Yes I have all the dlc.

Game verison - Hmmm. ETS2 says 1.28.1 3s (32-bit) It has always been 32-bit and I never noticed. This is what steam installed. My ATS says 1.29.1s (64-bit). Is the bit the problem?

I am not running any other mods with the new profile I had set up for Promods. Would Promods require me to remove all the other mods in the mods folder?

Edit: I tried this just in case, same result. Game log with other dlc removed from mod folder.

I went to the Promods site but since I was new to the site, I had to clear security thru a moderator first so I came here. I can post there as well.

to use ETS2 64bit be sure you play the game from Steam, right click and select play ETS2 64bit or ETS2 DirectX 64bit. to be sure you never run in 32bit, hit game properties in Steam and then open launch options where you introduce: -64bit -unlimitedlog I noticed frequent crashes when gamelog file is exceeded (even if it is claimed not to generate game crash). more mods generate more data in the gamelog obviously...
your error that causes game crash seem to be generated by some traffic values outside the accepted limits. I must say I had it sometimes even with my traffic mod, but very rare... usually loading the game again with no changes, you should not have a 2nd crash. anyway if this happens again try loading the game without any traffic mod and see what happens
P.S. I run ProMods with plenty other map mods accepted in the ProMods community and I have never had problems! here is the official order and accepted maps https://www.promods.net/viewtopic.php?f ... f3fa6d5f1e

if you only had ProMods files in the modfolder the last test and it crashed... make sure you have the correct def-file ... not one with RusMap enabled ...

FYI

Code: Select all

00:01:33.362 : [mod_package_manager] Mod "Real European Companies (by Tamiel18)" has been mount. (package_name: mod_workshop_package.000000002AAA5C62, version: 1.5, source: Steam Workshop)

this one isn't compatible with promods as it changes models in various places = CTD

I finally got it working. Playing in 64 bit initially didn't make a difference. MandelSoft, thank for trying to help on Promods site as well. I did change to a couple other cities and it still crashed.

@m1keY. I didn't have the check for RusMap.

@cipinho, I only have Promods attached to the new profile so no other mods where in with this new profile. The other mods seen in the first link are mods that my old profile uses. The second link is the one where I even removed all mods except promods and it didn't work either. What did work was simple. With the new profile, I just went ahead and made the first delivery when you start the game just to get the garage. I have not truck but the garage is there. I saved the game, got out and went to my mod manger and only loaded up promods (I put all my old mods back in mod folder) in the order that the Promods site stated......went back in and pick up where I left off. Promods loaded without any issues this time. So I am good now. When I want to run Promods, I will keep it simple. I downloaded the promods trailers and that is all that is only this new profile. So all is good as of now.

Thanks for trying to everyone.

@m1Key:. REGS v1.5 is compatible with ProMods, REGS v2.x is not. (It's the one the modifies map items - the static ferry models) REGS has to be placed above ProMods.

You might have problems with the promods trailers pack. It says it's updated for 1.28 but I don't think they updated the cog_offsets to the new format that came out in 1.28 so some of the trailers won't work with advanced coupling. At least that's what myself and some others narrowed it down to, but they lock their files so I couldn't check to be certain.

The definition files in the ProMods Trailer & Company Pack are not locked, only the graphics/models portions of the package are locked. The cog_offset parameters are stored in the definition files. I confirm that the definition files are updated for the new cog_offsets in TCP 1.14 (for ETS2 1.28). There may or may not be a problem with advanced coupling using the TCP (I don't know), but I don't think it would be due to cog_offset parameters.
