Editor crashes when placing a road

#1 Post by Rattrucker » 06 Dec 2025 19:22

Hello,
Today, I was working on my map when I ran into an issue. After connecting two intersections with a road, the editor crashed unexpectedly. I’m not sure why this happened, especially since I tried running it without any mods, and the crash still occurred. Interestingly, this only happens with my map, not with a new, empty one.
My map is quite laggy for my PC, but this issue is new, and it didn't occur before version 1.57. I really need to resolve this as soon as possible because I’m planning to publish the first version of the map soon.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

Please follow the bug reporting process.

Game logs are important and in your case the editor log.

The game log contains the following important information:

Game Version
Mods Installed
Mods in use
System specifications
Launch parameters
Use of DX/OpenGL
Game configuration settings
GPU Driver version

hello,
I attached the editor log and game log, but the forum is not allowing me to load "game.crash.txt" for some reason, instead it tells me there was an "HTTP error".
version is 1.57, it still crashes to this day.
Windows 10 64bit
i am not sure of how should i screenshot the mini map, also 'cause i don't have a route advisor in the editor.
the bug happens always, even if i use the mods i made myself for my map or not.
Thanks :)

http error means the file is too large. Despite what it says on screen, the file must be under 1.1MB.

Delete the current crashlog and make the editor crash again.
The game will produce a new (and smaller) crash log.

Also, i have another update:
now the crash happens even in a new map.
before, when i made the post (i also said it), the issue wouldn't happen in a new map, but now it does.

Hi there fellow modder. Had the same problem, but I figured it out curtecy of ChatGPT. Go into Documents>Euro Truck Simulator 2 and delete/backup the "editor" and "cache" folders. Restart the editor. That should take care of the problem.
Most likely the default settings pointing to non-existing materials since the new update. Made several entire cities/highways myself so losing all that work would be painful. Also, you might spawn somewhere completely random in your map but don't fret. It's not gone, you just start somewhere else.
