0.98.46 Corrupted Mesh Crash [SOLVED]

[d3vastate]

Hello,

I have been experience a crash at any point when entering a city that seems to load the police_sign.mesh file it instantly crashes the game client.

so far its happened at Clownsteady, Sho Battai, Heft and Stoat.

I have seen some other posts also referencing the same error here: http://www.lofigames.com/phpBB3/viewtop ... dae#p62364

So far I have tried the suggestions posted for similar problems:
Validating files
Deleting the specific file and validating
changing Kenshi version.
Reinstalling Kenshi.

The only other thing I can think of is getting a new file from someone who doesn't experience this crash.

Additionally, the same ending line in the kenshi.log was inside an older crashdump still in my Kenshi folder from version 0.95.32 which if I remember correctly occurred at World's End however in the latest stable update I can approach World's End without crashing.

Hopefully a solution can be found because I really wanted to do a Rock Bottom start but kind of annoying that the only city i can access is Bark.

Here is my police_sign.mesh:

You can also just delete the file to stop it crashing as it will just fail to find it instead.
It would be interesting to run a diff to see how the files are different.
It only seems to be this mesh that has the problem. No idea why steam validation is failing to fix it.

Thanks for providing your file,
but unfortunately replacing the file had not changed the situation.

Even deleting the file entirely still produced the crash while loading Sho Battai from a fresh rock bottom start on the stable 0.98.38 version, I'll provide the crashdump.zip from this attempt as maybe it might provide something to help figure it out.

Try update to experimental, there's really no reason to stay on stable.

That crashdump is still somehow finding a corrupt police_sign.mesh file.
Can you a search of your entire kenshi directory (and steam mod directory if you have any) to check if it is not finding one elsewhere.

good news,

turns out there was a police_sign.mesh under the \Kenshi\data\buildings\furniture area, not under signs folder from 2016.

was able to load Sho Battai and walk around the city without issue.

Thanks for the help
