I am unable to save my city anymore.Its a pretty big city but I ran it perfectly till today.I got 30 plugins.I can't even make a different save as I can't go to the world menu and if I do it will just crash if I try to make a new world.

#

I think the only fix would be reinstalling game so that the city is gone

#

I tried deleting cache and auch

#

Such*

#

It still won't save

halcyon loom
#

Does the game crash? I see you added the tag

teal wave
#

Yeah it crashes if I manage somehow to get to make a new save

#

I Try to generate a new place and it just crashes

#

So im stuck with my current town

#

And sometimes it also does crash while playing normally

daring stream
#

I would suggest getting rid of some plugins

teal wave
#

No fix

#

My city doesn't even load anymore

daring stream
#

Update to the latest version

teal wave
#

#

Latest one is 17 Nov 2023

#

That what it shows for me

teal wave
#

i think i am a few versions behind

teal wave
#

Well I think ima reinstall

#

And readd the save

#

Cuz I got no fix

If you enable debug mode I think, you can access the game files from the more panel, there you can look for the city and delete it (I think they were in separate files for each city)

#

Wait, I'm wrong, it is only accessible from the region selector.

#

But you could probably edit the game's data with a third party file explorer, or Android's default one.

teal wave
#

I tried the save file on pc and it crashed my pc

#

I had to deplete its battery

#

To be able to boot it

teal wave
#

No matter what file explorer I try

#

I gotta root my phone

#

Which I will not do

#

The only fix would be remove all the plugins

#

Or most

#

Or reinstall game

teal wave
#

I removed all plugins and still no fix

#

Yeah ima just ditch this save as I got no proper help/fix for this issue

halcyon loom
#

perhaps

#

Ptag crash

# halcyon loom Ptag crash

When submitting a good crash report, please provide the details of when or under what circumstances the game crashed as well as the following files which can be found in TheoTown folder:

  • crash.txt
  • log.txt
  • out.txt
    You can find out TheoTown's directory for your system by checking out Ptag files.

Moreover, if you can trigger the game to crash with the same error in a reproducible fashion, please mention that in your report as well as that helps us get it to crash on our own machines which in turn lets use fix it easier.

#

Didn't I state

#

I tried to search manually in 2 file explorers

#

Can't find them

#

Only if I root phone

#

I clearly stated 🙃

halcyon loom
#

i think i missed that

teal wave
#

And accessing on pc aint an option for me as I'm home a day a week

halcyon loom
#

if you close and reopen the game, do you spawn in the region menu?

teal wave
#

No

#

Straight to city

#

Always

halcyon loom
#

okay theres a setting

#

you have to disable auto load last city

teal wave
#

Okay let me check

halcyon loom
#

then it will take you to region view when you open the game

teal wave
#

Ok done now what

halcyon loom
#

go to settings and then file manager

#

export the files you need

#

probably to some easily accessible place like downloads

teal wave
#

I sent a crash log

#

Maybe this helps

teal wave
#

Ya I think

halcyon loom
#

first time seeing a pdf file for crash, its usually a txt file

#

so to be clear your game crashed when you were trying to create a new map/region? how big was it?

teal wave
teal wave
#

It sometimes crashes in city
Sometimes making new region

halcyon loom
#

so you ran out of ram while creating it

#

maybe smaller sizes would work?

teal wave
teal wave
#

I got 8gb of ram

#

It's either not being used

#

Or ifk

#

Cuz ingame I always have low usage of ram

#

The game only uses 25% of my ram

halcyon loom
#

the bigger it is, the more ram is used

#

even pc users occasionally face ram limit issues

teal wave
#

Just low ram usage

#

I think its the game issue not using the ram

halcyon loom
teal wave
halcyon loom
#

remember, when the game is generating a map or region, it is making a lot of calculations and rendering lots of pixels

teal wave
halcyon loom
#

i didnt ask you to play on it, i asked to see if you can generate one

teal wave
#

??

#

Okay

#

The huge one generates just fine

#

So does giant

halcyon loom
#

see, crash only happens when you try to generate ones that are too big

#

so your original bug was that you couldnt save a map?

teal wave
#

20% ram usage and 14% cpu usage

#

Clearly working my phone off

#

Game issue there

teal wave
#

Which I still got no fix for

#

The phone cpu and ram arent even being used properly

#

Which is an issue

halcyon loom
#

how big is this map you were trying to save an have you built a lot on it?

teal wave
#

I sent a picture before

teal wave
#

But its much bigger în reality

#

It doesnt have some parts

halcyon loom
#

thats one huge map

teal wave
#

Not really

halcyon loom
#

the whole region is one map, yeah?

#

i dont think you realise how huge that is

#

you have a lot of ram, but you also need to understand its a lottttt for the game to save

#

you can probably assign more virtual ram and see if it helps or something

teal wave
#

No regions

#

Just one big region like map

halcyon loom
teal wave
halcyon loom
#

like your phone storage

teal wave
#

If I did I would have done

halcyon loom
#

im not on my phone rn, when im on my phone i can send a screenshot

teal wave
#

Okay

#

Il wait

halcyon loom
#

virtual ram is not as efficient as actual ram though and it sacrifices storage space

ionic cedar
#

Same problem. I played the moon-city and the problam was gone .

teal wave
#

I Gave it 2 more gb of ram

#

From 4gb ram plus to 6gbram plus

#

And I updated my phone

#

Now it saves

#

Dunno if the update or ram thing did it

#

Ima get it back to 4gb ram

#

And test

halcyon loom
#

im glad something works for you

halcyon loom
teal wave
#

I think

#

Cux it saves now

#

Ima experiment further and see if it happens

halcyon loom
#

Yeah system not being ypdated causes some odd bugs sometimes

teal wave
#

Oh yeah nvm

#

It's back at it

#

It wont save anymore

halcyon loom
#

what about using more of that dynamic ram

teal wave
#

The more ram I add the more I lag on other apps

#

But I am able to save on theotown by adding more ram

halcyon loom
#

You can adjust it only when you need to save shrug

teal wave
#

Uh I don't wanna b rude

#

But u know that u gotta restart phone if u adjust ram plus

#

Therefore how do I save

halcyon loom
#

Rip, didnt know that, i never really tried, i just know its possible

long cedar
#

I could suggest trying to lower the RAM usage by manually stopping other apps in the background (hold the app -> more info -> Force interruption), just make sure you don't need these running while you play theotown as, for example, if you close WhatsApp this way you won't receive messages until you reopen it

teal wave
#

I have 3 in the background while playing

#

There's 1 app that consumes a ton of ram but it's my hearing aids app

#

Ima add more ram and make a new save

teal wave
#

Yeah im unable to save now

#

I added 8gb ram plus and still wouldn't let me save

halcyon loom
teal wave
#

8gb is the max I can add

halcyon loom
#

yeah see, ram depends

#

i cant tell you how much you need

#

but i do recommend playing on smaller maps or playing on pc (which generally has more ram)

teal wave
halcyon loom
#

cant help you 🤷‍♀️

#

its a device limitation, you can play onn smaller maps but thats about all the help i can give

teal wave
#

Okay

#

Guess ima ask this question on the subreddit

#

Since i didn't get much help here

halcyon loom
#

okay good luck

#

dont think you will get a different answer, but worth a try i suppose?

teal wave
#

Well unfortunately after trying on pc

#

It just does not work on pc bc limited ram
