SOLVED: CTD upon game load, only in 1.44

[Kultag]

I can't load my game in 1.44 even though it works well in 1.43. The game CTDs at the end of loading, just before the garage menu would appear.

Game log:
part 1: https://pastebin.com/4CZfEipk
part 2: https://pastebin.com/bgRdb1rX

Crash log always says access violation, and the end of the game log is always this:
<ERROR> Truck data is missing! Trying to use a fallback truck!
<ERROR> Fallback truck data is missing!

The Mod Manager doesn't indicate any incompatibilities both in 1.43 and 1.44.

I tried selling all my trucks (user folder + Steam + ATS), and it still doesn't load in 1.44. All my Steam trucks are updated to 1.44 (FLB, Mack R, Argosy). My oldest downloaded trucks are for 1.39 and the oldest trailers for 1.37. I thought that if I sold all my trucks, the game would at least load in 1.44, and then I could narrow it down to one or more mods, but still no. So it seems to be either a truck mod even though I don't own any trucks in this save now, or it's another kind of mod.

How can I find out from the game log which mod causes this?

Here are some broken mods from your log:

SWR Fuel Tankers 143 updated.scs
TiBrook_Rear_Dump_Ownable_1.40.scs
East_Super_Train_Ownable_1.39.scs
Barrera Jaulas.scs
Durahaul_Water_Tanker_Ownable_1.41.scs
Pastre_Dump_Ownable_1.34.scs
freightliner_flc.scs
westernstar 49x cargo 1.40 ats.scs

Basically start by removing every mod not explicitly updated for 1.44

You also have your document folder on OneDrive which can cause major issues for these games (even after working for years).
Try moving your files back onto your local computer.

More testing before I try these: I also sold all of my trailers now, and it still CTDs in 1.44.

I think there should more obsolete assets than these, like the Ford LTL9000 Aeromax for 1.39. I'll see what I can salvage of these.

I moved the game folders to the user folder now, but the game still copies all my files into the One Drive folder. I tried reinstalling it, hoping it would redetect the folders, to no success. Any idea how I could make it to look in the user folder instead of One Drive?

You may need to use the "-homedir" command in Steam's Launch Options settings.

Make sure OneDrive is fully uninstalled, I have mine uninstalled and it does not even appear in the File Browser as an option.

For example -homedir D:\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2 would be your -homedir command. All files then should go in here, you can check if it's succesful if you load up then close the game at the menu.

It should be similar to this, with no OneDrive mentioned:

00:00:00.468 : [ufs] Home directory: 'C:/Users/Documents/American Truck Simulator'.
00:00:00.468 : [fs] device C:/Users/Documents/American Truck Simulator mounted.

Thanks, it now uses the user folder.

However, the CTDs remain with the same:
<ERROR> Truck data is missing! Trying to use a fallback truck!
<ERROR> Fallback truck data is missing!

I'll now remove trucks one by one, and see which is (are) the culprit. I have no better idea as of now.

Feel free to provide a new game log for us to review, we may be able to determine which one.

Based on that error though it's a truck you've already removed.

Thanks in advance. I haven't removed any trucks, and as written above, the config works flawlessly in 1.43. It only does this in 1.44. So my main suspect is a truck, with an extra part or paintjob mod the second one. I tried to run my temporary save where I sold all trucks and all trailers my company owned, and still CTD in 1.44 (not in 1.43). I only have the hired drivers and all garages now. No map mods. File consistency checked by Steam. So it seems that it's enough to have the truck / part active in the mod list, I don't even have to own any of these to trigger the CTD. At least that's what left as an explanation.

There are errors related to the following mods:

Eagle9400.scs
Kenworth_T800_Beta_1.39.scs
peterbilt_352_362_project_41400.scs
westernstar 49x cargo 1.40 ats.scs
freightliner_flc.scs
Freightliner_Classic_XL_V3_v1.40_(BSA).scs
C.A.M_arctic_logging_ats_1.39.scs

Try removing all of these and post a new log (after selling trucks/trailers).

I started removing a bunch of mods, and it's still the same. By removing, I only mean deactivating them, not deleting the files. I now don't have any custom trucks active, only ATS ones. Still a several engine, gearbox, and trailer mods, though. I found I had a particularly old trailer mod, for 1.34, which is now also deactivated.

Game log: https://pastebin.com/VTKhFLKH (there's some change at the end compared to the old one)

What might be important, is that I tried starting a new profile (if I'm not mistaken, that uses the same mod list that my main profile), and it worked. Is there such a thing as save game corruption in ATS?
