#City Not Saving
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I think the only fix would be reinstalling game so that the city is gone
I tried deleting cache and auch
Such*
You cpuld disable unused plugins
Ima try that rq
Does the game crash? I see you added the tag
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
I would suggest getting rid of some plugins
I tried
No fix
My city doesn't even load anymore
Update to the latest version
i think i am a few versions behind
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.
I tried the save file on pc and it crashed my pc
I had to deplete its battery
To be able to boot it
Which I cant access
Nah u gotta root
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
I removed all plugins and still no fix
Yeah ima just ditch this save as I got no proper help/fix for this issue
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 outPtag 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.
providing these files would allow someone who knows what they are doing to help you better
I'm unable to access files
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 🙃
i think i missed that
And accessing on pc aint an option for me as I'm home a day a week
if you close and reopen the game, do you spawn in the region menu?
Okay let me check
then it will take you to region view when you open the game
Ok done now what
go to settings and then file manager
export the files you need
probably to some easily accessible place like downloads
are the other 2 also there?
Ya I think
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?
Idk that's what it exported as
Game crashes in multiple instances
It sometimes crashes in city
Sometimes making new region
crash file shows an out of memory error
so you ran out of ram while creating it
maybe smaller sizes would work?
How would I run out of ram
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
generating regions and cities takes a lot of ram
the bigger it is, the more ram is used
even pc users occasionally face ram limit issues
Yeah whenever I try to make new city
Just low ram usage
I think its the game issue not using the ram
what size are you generating?
The biggest one
probably the issue, try a smaller one
remember, when the game is generating a map or region, it is making a lot of calculations and rendering lots of pixels
Nah the smaller ones don't fit me
i didnt ask you to play on it, i asked to see if you can generate one
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?
Yes
Which I still got no fix for
The phone cpu and ram arent even being used properly
Which is an issue
how big is this map you were trying to save an have you built a lot on it?
I sent a picture before
This
But its much bigger în reality
It doesnt have some parts
thats one huge map
Not really
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
Dunno how
Ye
No regions
Just one big region like map
probably in storage
Well idk
like your phone storage
If I did I would have done
im not on my phone rn, when im on my phone i can send a screenshot
virtual ram is not as efficient as actual ram though and it sacrifices storage space
Same problem. I played the moon-city and the problam was gone .
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
im glad something works for you
game issues are not always the same for everyone. your issue may have been different from theirs, but its nice to know that it worked for you
The issue was phone not being updated
I think
Cux it saves now
Ima experiment further and see if it happens
Yeah system not being ypdated causes some odd bugs sometimes
what about using more of that dynamic ram
I lag more generally
The more ram I add the more I lag on other apps
But I am able to save on theotown by adding more ram
You can adjust it only when you need to save 
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
Rip, didnt know that, i never really tried, i just know its possible
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
Unfortunately I need some of those apps
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
the more you build, the more ram it needs to save
How much ram do I need
8gb is the max I can add
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)
I got 8gb ram on pc so I'm not better there
cant help you 🤷♀️
its a device limitation, you can play onn smaller maps but thats about all the help i can give
okay good luck
dont think you will get a different answer, but worth a try i suppose?
Yes worth a try
