Python API client example crashes the headless simulation
Author: ian-pCreated Nov 22, 2025Updated Nov 24, 2025
Hi,
Running the api client example crashes the simulation. I saw in the other issue that traffic sim is not maintained anymore. Does the error seem like something that happens because of the map (everything's default in my case). If so, is there a way to "fix" the map to not cause the crash, or does this look like a deeper issue?
