Hi everyone, I have recently installed ACEO tweaks on an unmodded installation, added Performance CEO and a few airlines by the modding group along with the tweaks aircraft pack.
It is horribly unstable, crashing every few minutes, when I click on the flight planner. Reloading a save game also deletes some of the planned flights utilizing the tweaks a/c. Last but not least it shows me a placeholder aircraft whenever a WT9 is turned around. Any hints or solutions?
Thanks!
Edit: As it might come up - hardware is probably not the issue, as I am running a R5 7600, 4070ti and 64GB of RAM.
Please use the my emergency patch that is quite a while up. It disables some planner changes meaning the crash doesn’t happen.
This will be the default version when the mod loader releases and this will move to the workshop. Actually, I’ll just link it [Mod] AirportCEOTweaks 2.3.6: Misc Patch - #709 by humoresque.
I’m not sure about any of the other issues, but it is a big mod for a game not meant for modding, keep that in mind. It’s just something you have to accept when you play with Tweaks
Just for some context on the planner changes and resulting crashes:
It seems to have to do with my searching up and down the game object hierarchy for the various bits of UI I modify. For some reason these searches fail inelegantly/at a low level (normal failures like unity failing to find an object are mostly handled silently in the code) from time to time, and how frequently seems to vary a lot user to user (which means I get to play for several hours without a crash, which is great, but makes it harder to test if I’ve fixed things).
My plan for this has been to do a lot more caching of UI elements to avoid duplicative searches - ie cut the number of searches to the minimum necessary. I did a bit of this in one of the patches that went out long ago… My hesitation to implement this is that it’s still a bandaid and until I understand the underlying cause of the crashes there will still be some amount of them. I do recommend the emergency patch for the interim if you’re having issues.
Hi @dawed and @zekew11 and @humoresque : Thank you for your messages and help!
I just playtested without the ACEO Tweaks aircraft pack and everything works fine. As soon as I activate the A/C pack and at least a single custom mod (any one, basically), it all goes to hell. I can reproduce the behavior mentioned by @Graphic_Berry .
Will try later on. The thing is, the game does not crash anymore when I use the emergency patch. It’s just flights not scheduling correctly or disappearing after scheduling them. Stay tuned.
That’s actually a really helpful little clue: vanilla aircraft only schedules properly, but adding in tweaks aircraft sometimes/often breaks scheduling - is that correct?
I have the same problem as plotz. When I try to schedule a flight, it usually desappears instantly, if not, it dissapears later. Is there any way to fix it? Is there any way to autoplan a schedule? I have the emerengcy patch
Not necessarily. I never used Tweaks aircraft, yet I did have scheduling issues - planes disappearing and appearing the next day, etc. It wasn’t very common or annoying enough to break the game for me, but it was there.
Having same problem with all planes. Place a plane, it will disappear, go to another date. Uninstalled, switch to an older version (emergency patch from March), same problem. Closed the stand, rescheduled, first flight denies and disapears. Try again, 2 flights done, place another, 3 flights disappear.
Due to the prevalence of this problem, I will put this on ultra-high priority to complete before the release of Tweaks and the Mod loader on the 18th. I’m not sure if ill fix it, but ill try
Hi Zekew, exactly. Vanilla planes work just fine. Custom planes show weird behavior. I have tried completely different setups of mods and otherwise unmodded airline sets, too. Anything vanilla only is fine.
Well, I’ve honestly really struggled to recreate the problem. I only once got the disappearing behavior, and that was with a situation that no player should encounter (start with flight planner changes off, then enable them). I tried this with a modded airline, but I didn’t check if the plane type was specifically modded or not. I’m playing with Performance CEO on the Mod Loader version of Tweaks (I don’t know if those make a difference, they shouldn’t). I also got no CTDs with flight planner changes enabled…
Any ideas as to how I could maybe recreate this behavior?
Also look in the git and game code for the function “get next weekday” or something along those lines (in time controller?). I believe it takes a day of the week eg Wednesday as a parameter and returns the first future DateTime that matches that day of the week. The base game implementation seemed broken, so I fixed it because I needed it, initially wrongly, but then I fixed the fix. But because the base game worked even “broken” I’m suspect of that whole chunk of code.
First of all, sorry for my English, I’m Spanish. Also I’m quite new at this modding community
Here you have an example. I scheduled all those flights at sunday, and some of them dissapeared on Monday but not on Tuesday. Probably some of them will later dissappear. Also, when I schedule a flight, it can dissappear from the day that I have chosen, but it can appear on a later day. As you can see It happens with vanilla airlines and modded ones. I have the ACEO TWEAKS 2.3.7.367 version and the performance CEO installed via uModFramework.
Thank you all for your amazing work!
