Cities XXL Can't create a new city

I don't know what's happening but I can't create a new city on maps that aren't from the original from the game. Somebody please help me !

 

That's very odd. It doesn't crash the game, you select the map in the gallery and click "Create your City" and nothing happens. The dialog to create a city doesn't appear, but if I select a original map the dialog appears normally. I found out that if you click in the white dot of a non original map in the globe, the dialog appears.
Now, I removed all non original maps but two. The gallery had 46 pages with all, now there are only 10, and now I can create a city with a non original map ! There must be some limitations to add new maps. I tried to reduce to 43 pages, as I remember it's been like that for sometime and I had no problems, but it didn't work... How can we fix that?
If it helps, I put all maps in a "Maps" folder under the "Paks\Mods" folder

 

it worked !!! Thanks a lot mate !

 

Oh no, it's not working. It worked the first time. Now, it crashes when loading the main menu... Tried several times

 

Well, that's final... My Cities XXL is not working anymore.

 

I can make it work only once a time, it loads normally any map or city saved, but when I click to return to the main screen, it goes out to the desktop, and I open it again, after the loading screen it tries to show the menu and then crash... There's something to do with Steam and those cxl slotmaps
Here I is how I can make it load once:
- Delete all slotmaps.clx files
- Disconnect from Internet
- Open Cities XXL.
It's ok just once.

 

I did what you asked, remove all maps from mods folder, cleaned the solo folder (only those 3 files remained) and started the game... as soon that steam dialog appeared "Preparing Cities XXL to start", the solo folder has been filled with all those clx files and the saved folders again. And when the main menu should appear, it crashed.

Here's the content of the last log file :

 

I did exactly what you said, and now it gives a message "There are missing mods which needs other mods to work correctly, the application will now exit to allow steam to download it"....
I remember this one has a solution, but I can't remember what it is.

 

Afff... a clean reinstall on the way.

 

Well, it sucks. The problem remains with a new and clean installation.

 

Here's what is happening:

I did a clean install, but I could see when I start the game, Steam brings back all that old files in the solo folder. But that message about missing mods was stopping the game. So I went to steam community and searched for an answer, then I found out that I had to delete a folder inside the content folder. So with this one the game started but with the same problem... So I remember that deleting the file "prototypedb.bin" would force the game to rebuild it with no mods. So this time it worked, the game showed up with the original map pages (9) and no mods.
But when I put the mods back, the problem raised again.

 

ronrn, the problem is the Ravinoche map !

I removed all the mods and it worked ok, then I put the mods in root mods folder, and worked again ok. So I decided to put the maps folder but only the maps I had a city - Altair, industrial map and Ravinoche - and the issue came back... so I removed Ravinoche and it worked !

EDIT : Oops... I stand corrected, there are more maps making trouble, I will have to put one by one...

 

Ok, this is very tiresome... It seems Steam that messes with all this mods stuff. I'm having to put mods one by one so steam synchronizes them...
