    Since the last update, now when I load a game to play from QD, FR or the scenarios, the screen goes blank until the route loads. What has happened to the continual scrolling of half a dozen advertising pictures?

    Before I contact and trouble DTG support, is this a fault with me or is everyone having this reaction. I have verified all files a couple of times but to no difference.

    Can someone throw some light on this please. Are you still getting the load screen shots? Anyone not getting them?

    I'm still getting the normal screenshots when the game loads
    Have you gone off-line?
    Without the Internet Connection these is nothing to show.

    Might be worth raising a ticket with DTG

    Thank you Peter, I think it will be best to raise a ticket, but will wait awhile to see if it corrects itself as the game is working normally. I would have hoped DTG would have read the forum and made a comment.

    I am pleased to report that I turned on the game today, loaded a route and the screenshots were back. I have done nothing to change anything so don’t know what happened to cause them to disappear for a week

    After a brief return, the screenshots have disappeared again to a blank screen with a blue scrolling line at the bottom, while waiting for a route to load.

    Long shot may not work.
    Rename the playerprofiles.bin and copy to a safe place, found in the \STEAM\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Content folder, and see if that fixes things (you will need to reset all your TS settings again) - if it doesn't then just use the copy you renamed.
    I found that when using TS in full-screen it tended to lose 'focus" if any other windows service was running in the background - so it may be worthwhile to run TS in borderless/windowed mode to see if that helps. As I say these are long shots!

    Who cares, does anyone actually sit there mesmerised by the rolling screenshots?

    I agree Cat, but sometimes it’s good to see when they are new. Strange they stopped then reappeared again last week and now stopped again. Not really bothered to find out and amend anything in case something else happens. Apart from this, everything else seems to be working fine.

    Well anything's better than a blank screen.

    I've also been having this, and it seems very tempromental (and possibly random), and the black loading screen occurs also when the store images don't load on the main menu. It doesn't bother me too much but like I say, it's nice to have them.

    Would you believe it, I play TS at least once a day and this morning whilst waiting for a route to load, the screen loading pictures returned. Wierd.

    And for me there was no images at all as I loaded it up to quickly test something with the Ap 37

    Is it something to do with DTG or with your personal settings?

    I ran a few different scenarios and had the usual loading pictures with the new OBB Krokadile and two others

    No problem here either. Does it really matter as long as the scenario loads?

    I agree Cat the scenarios load, but one day the screenshots are there, then not then appear again then not. It is so strange.
