Hi everyone, In the last few weeks I have been experiencing more and more issues with crashes on Sand Patch Grade. I get CE-34878-0 errors usually just before an AI train reaches my train. It happened to me on Service U877-A running a C40-8 just about a mile from Mance, and then again on service U877-B just before Yoder Siding. I am on a PS4 Pro. Has anyone else had similar problems?
...it's always very helpful for the "Devs" to provide precise information on the occurrence of the error message, as you've done in detail. I'm also still on PS4 Pro, but haven't played SPG lately. The Playstation help&support forum says: If the error occurs again, you will need to back up your save data and then select Initialize PS4 via Settings > Initialization. So it could be related to the system software, but since it is updated regularly, it could also be due to lack of RAM on 8th gen consoles and overload causing it to crash. Maybe it's helpful?
Thanks Sparmi, I think it’s a RAM issue as well. Maybe it’s to do with some collectors club liveries that need to be displayed additionally on the long trains. If it keeps happening I will have to try to initialize.
...no problem you're welcome! Downloaded CC liveries are usually very small and compressed and are only in the hundreds of kbit range. It could be more due to the train lengths, on the PS4 only up to 50 freight cars are possible anyway. If theoretically each of the 50 freight cars has its own CC livery, you might be able to gently exceed the total RAM limit too.
So, after initializing and installing new, the problem is still there. Every time a train comes the other direction, it crashes. It looks like SPG has become unplayable for me. It was never an issue in the past. And has only recently become an issue.
Quick update: After unsubscribing all creators club content related to SPG, I was able to complete a run from Yoder to Cumberland without any issues. 4 AI trains passed and Cumberland Yard was also quite populated. Even though the liveries are small, they seem to have an advese effect on my system.
I don´t know for SPG, but I had some funny stuff going around with CC liveries on DRA. I had to take them all off. PS4 doesn´t seem to handle them well.
Yes, I’ve had these gaps in trains before too. It’s unfortunate that PS4 doen’t handle the CC stuff well as it adds so much variety.
