    Lol, that's weird. The new york hotels have a problem, apparently a shader was not assigned to them so the game looks up for a shader called #.fx that doesn't exist, so it switiches to default shader. In Cities XL that didn't make the game crash, it only generated a ton of warnings in the log file. But in CXXL it just crashes. You can't use the fix by Skullz in CXXL because it also crashes. I guess you'll have to choose which buildings you want to be able to use. I can't fix them without re-exporting them and I don't have the original models to do so.

    In my picture above:
    With your fix mod 1.2, the rotate hotel works well but the new york hotels crash;
    With your fix mod 1.3, the rotate hotel becomes a huge black model but the new york hotels not crash;
    So, there maybe a way to make them both works well.

    I understand. But as I said, I can't fix it without having the original 3d model and re-exporting it to the game using the correct shader. With most of the older mods it only takes to override the old XL shader with the new XXL one, but apparently these models have a different problem.

    Hello,
    Logically, you shouldn't get this error.
    I can only see three reasons why you are getting this error:
    - Either you forgot to place the "ZZZ_Fix_For_Old_Shader_XXL 1.2.patch" file in your Mods folder?
    - Either you forgot to remove the old version "ZZZ_Fix_For_Old_Shader_XXL 1.0.patch" and or "ZZZ_Fix_For_Old_Shader_XXL 1.1.patch"
    - either the "ZZZ_Fix_For_Old_Shader_XXL 1.2.patch" version that you downloaded is corrupted. If so, I invite you to download it again.
