Symptom

  • When I bulldoze or alter a road, cars that were just about to drive on to it despawn instead of finding a different route

Cause

There were two bugs in TM:PE versions 1.10.17 and earlier:

  • #86: Delete a road and vehicles despawn rather than reroute

  • #218: Deleting, upgrading, or otherwise updating a road makes vehicles despawn instead of recalculating their route

There is also a bug in the vanilla game:

  • #277: "Vibrating nodes" vanilla bug causes traffic to despawn

Solution

  1. Make sure you are using the latest version of TM:PE (must be at least v10.18 or later).

  2. Ensure you only have one copy of TM:PE subscribed (don't just disable other versions, completely unsubscribe them)

  3. Remove any broken nodes. See: Removing Ghost Nodes and Broken Nodes.
