[PS4] bugged mod or corrupt save

Post by x3SGTEx »

Hey guys, I'm at a loss as to what's going on as this appears to be a one off situation. I can't find any threads about a similar experience.

TLDR: played game for a few hours. Saved and exited out to check modhub (didn't download anything) and now I'm stuck in an infinite lading screen at the "please wait game is loading".

I have had no problems with the save prior. Having many mods already loaded into the game. I did install the new 5th wheel trailer, case ripper and case harvester trailer earlier this week.

My first attempt was to delete the game and reinstall it. It did let me get back into my game, I only downloaded Lone Oak to get back to the farm. I was just missing some of the mods, since they are gone now in modhub. Perfect.

Downloaded all the combines and tractors. Loaded up fine again. Ok looking good.

Downloaded all the tools and and trailers. Loaded it up. And again get the green check mark. This is looking promising. At this point I'm at about 58% on loading in mods.

Move on to the final bit of loading in placables and other random items I may have over looked. At this point I'm at 72%. Load up the game. Game over. It acts like it's going to load hanging up on the hour glass. But then goes back to the infinite turning hourglass. Something has failed.

At this point I can't do anything to get back into the save other then delete the game again and reinstall. So I can't say this is a corrupt save. Or coding in a mod that breaks the save.

I can note that the save was fine prior to downloading those mentioned above. But now, after trying to weed out a possible bad mod. The forage and chip silo by Bdbssd cannot be removed. I can uninstall it, but once I restart the game. It's back. Same goes for the case harvester trailer. It took three times for it to finally uninstall.

If anyone has better knowledge of what's going on I would truly be grateful!

Mine is doing the same. Have 2 saves of different maps one loads and the other won't. So far tried unchecking boxes to try to load but nothing. Happened today right after the fifth wheel install or bobcat update.

Upon further mod disabling I was able to load after uninstalling washing station pack. I think it had an update yesterday or today.

Glad I'm not the only one. I have tried to replicate this bug by starting a new map, but with the same setup as the bugged save. So far the new save likes anything I throw at it.

Just tried this!! I think you have found it my man! I'm not sure how saves store their data with mods but it must be coded wrong. As the new save has no problem using the wash station.

MODERATORS can you please look into this? I believe this needs to be prioritized to high attention.

Sorry, there is not much we moderators can do here, we don't have a possibility to prioritize anything.

Since it looks like the issue is related to a specific mod I would suggest to try to reach out to the creators of that mod directly to se if they are able to figure out what is going wrong here and try to fix it.

As you can see on https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.p ... tle=fs2017 the mod that seems to be causing the issue is from whitebullmodding, who seem to have their own website where you should be able to contact them: https://www.whitebullmodding.com

Hi don_apple, I completely understand where your limitations are. It was thinking if there was a way to warn people there is an official modhub mod out there that currently has a bug in its current state.

The only way I'm aware of achieving something like this would be for you to open a bug report in the 'ModHub Mods Bug-Reports' section (viewforum.php?f=940) using the guidelines documented in viewtopic.php?f=936&t=110383

game support (: it's not a bug (: the size of the updated washing station is changed so it can no longer be in its space, (:
Solution remove the selection of the washing station and load your game, save your game and exit. Set the maker at the washing station, and load your game, buy a new wash station, and put it in a new place. (: so it's a matter of size and not a bug. (:

Thanks for the clarification. Jumping to calling it a bug may have been a bit harsh of term. But glad it's that simple! I assume this isn't the first time a mod has worked like this. Coming from console, this was a first I've seen like this.

This thread has saved me many hours - had exactly the same problem on Xbox - took away the washing station, reloaded and bought another. Worked! I had put many hours into Lone Oak when it happened and could not load the fame again. Even started a new game, he er crossed my mind what the problem was. Thanks to you guys, saved me!

Glad to hear man 👍

One of the few games that can be devastating to lose your progress on. Phirst really tore it down to find the issue.

I think it was the first time a problem like this occurred on the beloved xbox / ps4
It is the first time it is overlooked by the tests that the size is changed and could cause problems in a saved game. (: There are many things to be aware of when testing moods and rarely but every now and then we get trouble in the game when minor errors are overlooked I have no need to panic (: I'm always ready to start a new game (:
