Mac errors

[Farmer DGB]

HI guys

I'm a newbie so sorry if this is on the wrong forum, but having problems with my Mac crashing all the time, and was recommended i post log file on here so someone might be able to help?

Firstly i'm something of a technophobe so please be gentle

My Mac isn't exactly old, its late 2014 model, running 3.5ghz intel core I5 - its got a AMD Radeon graphic card. I'm running on medium res as anything higher just can't seem to cope ( i.e. you can't sit in the cab without being inside the A1 player, no mirrors etc etc)

i've deleted lots of mods and made sure no other maps are ticked, etc etc and yet it still crashes.

attached is the log file, and looking at is, there's a few errors, but recurring
Error: Running LUA method 'update'.
dataS/scripts/vehicles/specializations/RidgeMarker.lua(263) : attempt to index a nil value

Is there something you can suggest, as i'm frankly getting to the end of my tether, and might just give up with FS17.

Thanks very much

Hi!

Are you sure you posted the correct log.txt file? Because the one you attached seems to be from a Windows system and not a Mac and it doesn't show an AMD graphics card:

Morning

ah sorry, was looking at another log.txt file to see what it looked like and must have somehow attached it in error
please find latest from my mac

i've now attached correct one, but had to removed 3/4 of the message as apparently its too large at 3.2mb, but there was page after page saying :

Error: Running LUA method 'update'.
dataS/scripts/vehicles/specializations/RidgeMarker.lua(263) : attempt to index a nil value

which i presume is the problem

One Point of error is the wron Courseplay Version.
Your instatalled 4.01, which is for the FS15
In FS17 we have to use Courseplay V 5.01.0168 from Developers GitHub Site https://github.com/Courseplay/courseplay

Also you have some stuff in the mods folder that doesn't seem to belong there:

Code: Select all

Error: Failed to open xml file '/Users/duncangbrown/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2017/mods/FS17_Snow_Edition/modDesc.xml'.
Load mod: FS17_Snow_Edition
Error: Missing descVersion attribute in mod FS17_Snow_Edition
Error: Failed to open xml file '/Users/duncangbrown/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2017/mods/Mods/modDesc.xml'.
Load mod: Mods
Error: Missing descVersion attribute in mod Mods

Please remove those files.

It looks like you have multiple mod maps installed:

Code: Select all

Load mod: ChurnFarm2017Seasons (Version: 1.0.0.0)
Load mod: FS17_chellington17 (Version: 2.0.0.1)
Load mod: FS17_coldboroughParkFarm_pc (Version: 3.0.0.0)
Load mod: FS17_Islands (Version: 2.2.0.2)
Load mod: FS17_Lawfolds (Version: 1.4.1.0)
Load mod: FS17_selbyfarmestatesv3 (Version: 1.0.0.0)
Load mod: FS17Contest_LaJeuneSouche (Version: 1)

Please make sure that only the mod map you are playing is selected in the mod activation screen when you start a new career or an existing savegame. Ideally all mod maps you are not using should be removed from the mods folder to avoid that they can be selected in the mod selection screen.

The map you are playing also has somme issues:

Code: Select all

Error: Can't load resource '/Users/duncangbrown/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2017/mods/FS17_selbyfarmestatesv3/maps/mods/farm_sign/footpath.dds'.
Error: Can't load resource '/Users/duncangbrown/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2017/mods/FS17_selbyfarmestatesv3/maps/mods/farm_sign/foot.dds'.

Therefore I would recommend to remove all mods from the mods folder and then start a complete new savegame on one of the two default maps. If there are no crashes anymore and no errors in the log then you can start moving the mods back ONE BY ONE and after moving each mod back try it on a new savegame on the default maps to see if it causes errors in the log or any other weird behaviour. If it does then delete the mod.

How to install the latest course play version is described on the following page btw.: http://courseplay.github.io/courseplay/ ... index.html

thanks both - much appreciated, will try and find/remove those error folders and especially 15 courseplay

interestingly i'm playing map at moment, where i left the ridge marker down, and no crashing happening

i've made sure when playing that other maps aren't ticked - so i will see what happens on the problem map if i delete the above, and if still not working then i will remove all and go for the default option

anyway many thanks for your prompt advices - really helpful
