recently i got the RHTT pack. I have mods downloaded (a lot) so i am wondering if there is a mod thats conflicting the add on or something. i have set up all the 4 RHTT into one consist hauled by a 66. I spawned it in. But the moment I interact with it (no matter is it getting on the class 66, trying to couple up it). my game would just crash. where do i even begin to troubleshoot? I have too many mods downloaded and I cant tell which are mods which are actually DLCs.
I'm afraid you start troubleshooting in the same way you troubleshoot all crashes: by removing all mods. If you can't tell which paks are mods then I think a clean reinstall might have to do (obviously, checking after uninstalling that no pak files remain). Actually, read the response below: reinstall might not be necessary immediately.
ludwigtails You can spot the TSW DLCs very easily. Go into your DLC folder and click on ‘Name’ at the top; this will display all .pak files from A to Z, and every TSW DLC always starts with the text ‘TS2Prototype-WindowsNoEditor-’ at the beginning of its name. However, there are also mods that start like this, so check what comes after it – if it’s something that doesn’t match any TSW DLC, it’s usually a mod, and you’ll know the names of your own TSW DLCs.
So i tried to removed any mods related to the 66. still doesnt work. But i dont think its related to the class 66. at all. i think it has something to do with how many RHTT wagons you can attach. for some reason. you can only couple up to 2 RHTT wagons (i legit dont know what each 4 RHTT wagon from the pack even does and which pairs with which one). The moment I try and attach a 3rd RHTT wagon to an existing 2 car RHTT consist. The game crashes. If i have 4 RHTT wagons together, the moment i get on a cab or attach the consist, no matter what loco it is. My game will crash. i have no idea why this is a thing. because i dont have mods that does anything to the RHTT aside from a lot of timetable layering from modded timetables. Can someone try this on your end? attach 4 RHTT wagons together, attach it with whatever loco. see does your game crash.
I don't have the railhead treatment train so I can't test it, unfortunately. I can say, however, that unrelated mods can still have an effect on the game. As much as it is a pain, you should try again with all of your mods, even the unrelated ones, removed. If the game then runs fine, reinstate your mods singly and test after each one to isolate the culprit (you may choose to do this in batches, then test each mod in the batch if you have many mods).

okay at this rate i might as well reinstall everything then.. where do i even start looking???? i have too many mods and i am not going to frantically go through all of them.
Would the MOD manager be useful in this instance? You could disable all mods or one at a time. Its available on TSC
I haven't a clue about the mod manager so feel free to disregard this, but you can start with a divide and conquer algorithm. Basically, remove about half of your mods and then test. If it works, then you know that the problem is among the removed mods. If it crashes, then the problem is among the remaining mods. Then split the relevant group of mods in half again and repeat. Or reinstall everything - that's also an option. Bloody pain on my internet, though.
okay i tried the MOD manager. Made use of the file as a save keep to remove all the mods. I even verified game files (but when starting up the game i can see the modded timetables for some reason idk why or how to fully get rid of them). But STILL my game will crash whenever i have 4 RHTT wagons spawned in, after that its either. A. a loco already attached to the 4 RHTT wagons and trying to sit down on the driver seat. or B. 4 RHTT wagons already spawn in, but not coupled up (the test i did was having a pair of RHTT spawned in, the pair not being coupled) together and then trying to attach a loco to one of the pairs. Both results in the game crashing. unless i have exactly 2 RHTT wagons spawned in. my game works fine. if its 3 or 4. my game will crash.
bumping this again. can somebody try to spawn in a consist where 4 RHTT wagon is connected with a loco and see can you even drive the thing? I already asked the official DTG support and i havent gotten anything. Not even a fix.
