    When trying to start Game and I think it's to do with something in Pak Folder in Mods folder and it's a file with extension Patch and have Shader 2.0,latest Interface Mod and Tags file. I have 8 gigs of Ram,Windows 10 and HD Intel graphics Card if that helps out. Yes when my Game works it does exit from time to time.

    First can you confirm your using Cities XL and not XXL?

    What I have typed below is for XL

    If you have no cities you want to save, you could do a reinstall. Make sure you back up your mods if you have not got them saved somewhere on your PC.

    To test if there's a problem with XL you can rename the Cities XL folder in AppData \ Local \ Focus Home Interactive and then restart XL. It will be just like starting it when you first installed it. If it runs OK then something got corrupted in the cities XL folder.
    If there's still a problem then it's your folder with the mods. Make sure you folder structure is OK as well. Mods will not work if they are two levels down from the paks folder.
    If you want separate folders in you paks folder, then make one folder for each type like buildings, roads, plazas etc... with only the patch files in them.

    example,

    paks\bulidings
    paks\roads
    paks\plazas

    Don't go any deeper with the folders

    Make sure all the mods you are using are XL mods. If there's any XXL mods it will cause crashes.

    I couldn't remember what the folder is in Focus Home Interactive for platinum that's why I only said CitiesXL.
    Try remaining the folder and start the game. Cities XL will just create a new one like a fresh install does. You me just have corrupt files in that folder.

    You dont need to do a farms folder. Thats up to you. By splitting them up it's easier to navigate in windows. If to many mods are in one folder, windows explorer can get bogged down.

    I noticed you have those _macosx folders. Try moving them out and then test the game. They could be causing it as the folder structure is to deep.

    Another thing you should do is move all the patch files with z's at the front of there name into the root of the paks folder. They need to load before any other patch files.

    Remove all the mods with ._ at the start of the file names. They should not be named like that so may be corrupted.

    If you want those mods then you need to read the descriptions on their resource page for details on what to use.
    Find the original bus files by gregonos, it probably says to use only one color. You have light and dark in the paks folder.
    Also check up on the gasstation files as you have two. If your not using CLM you shouldn't have a clm mod in your folder.
    You shouldn't have both high lods and a low lods versions of the solarfarm.
    As the the altiris beach files, I had issues with one of them but can't remember which one

    If there's still issues after that then a full reinstall would be the best option. Get the game running with no mods first and then if it runs OK put only the dependencies in and try it again.
    Dependency - XL User Interface Mod
    Dependency - Z_Pharmist_TreeBug_Fix_v1.00
    Dependency - Altiris Prereq Forest Tree Patch
    Dependency - Shader Pack
    Dependency - Road Shader with Self-Illumination
    Dependency - XL Nation Furniture Dependency Pack
    Dependency - Tags.cfg for XL

    If it runs OK then test a few mods at a time until you have all the ones you want.

    Try using my Autosave mod. It's helped a lot of XL players avoid crashes

    I never bothered with CLM when I was playing XL so I have no knowledge on it and what problems it can cause.
    That memory error has happened to many players. I've had it myself and a restart of my PC sorted it out for me.

    well, but that doesnt help if you are not able to play at all :p

    follow the suggestion and restart by zero. we are not the developers of this game so we can only give limited support.
    when you readd the mods from time to time, make sure to read the descriptions so you wont miss incompatibilities and requirements. do not just add them without any reading.
    clm is known to cause issues together with other mods. just try without it first and add it as last one.

    regarding your logs:
    1. yes the "out of memory failure" is normal for cxl - the engine is just crap - restart your pc and it should be fine
    2. your last line in the log "data\design\script\siminfo\zmaps\mapmgr_sav..." is always the same. this is the one causing the crash. Not sure what it is, i cannot find this folder in my (unpacked) game. So i have the following questions:
    a) when exactly does the game crash? (on startup, when loading a city, during play, ...?)
    b) when did it happen the first time? (any new mod you added, any mod you removed, anything else changed, ...?)
    c) are you sure you did not use a xxl map or xxl only mod on xl?

    The Error pops when starting Game in Steam maybe try it out Offline. All the Mods I have work with both versions and have all the Mod files they need to go with them. Maybe get rid ones that work with both.
