    Well I started over because i only builded for 30 hours and I didnt want to have to to the trick the whole time. I freshly installed CitiesXL, cleared out all the userdate and started a new city on a default map. Got the same problem again and this time I also got a crash during the game with the same error.

    I've a feeling it might me related to the Road Widening Mod or the Bus Line Mod, do you use any of these mods? I've got this feeling because I had problems in the past with the Road Widening Mod and it's the only major new mod I use since the problems started.

    I might have made some progress.

    I found out that when I get the same error messages when I try to open some SGBIN files from the Road Widening Mod Texture Pack in the Viewer.

    No way to edit a post?

    Anyway, When loading in some SGBIN fils of the Road Widening Mod I get both these errors (on different files)

    Code:
    CORE mcSerializeTag.cpp ( 42) ErrorBuild mcSerializeTag: Corrupted file, Invalid tag
    AND

    Code:
    CORE mcFilePack.cpp ( 833) ErrorBuild UncompressBuffer: ERROR n°<-3> in zlib uncompress
    These errors are the same as when the game randomly crashes.

    I also noticed that in the error log of the viewer it complains about a memory leak when loading these files


    Code:
    06:22:08 mcMemHashTable.( 78) : Memory leak -> There are 150 memory leaks
    06:22:08 mcMemHashTable.( 86) : Memory leak ->  : on allocator 0, size 56

    I had suspected that mod before... I will see if that's still in my mods folder.

    got a similar (or maybe exact the same) error as skullz.
    didnt change anything. played, exit + save. everything was fine. wanted to reload the last save... crash while loading the city.
    guessed its a corrupted save... but no idea...

    Do you use US Dark Road Textures? White Pavement, Road Widening Mod? I've found corrputed SGBIN's in all three of these mods which give the same error as when trying to load the game. But well I might also be a generic error.

    I have the ZZZZZZ_CWM_Textures_White_Asphalt.patch

    I'll remove it and see how it goes.
