    So I got the new expansion and it's quite good. The only thing that I've noticed is if I tried to do a run with the CSX SD40 and the game would crash and tell me to verify game files. I did this and it still crashed after a few restarts, so I finally went and moved all mods out of the TSW 2 folder. It worked fine after that. I might go through and see which mods work or not.

    That would be much appreciated :)

    I currently only had 1 crash right after starting the very first scenario in the new expansions pack on Bakerloo but other than that, it went all fine for me. Would be cool to know what mod causes issues here.

    Did you have the "No CRR SD40" mod installed? That would prevent the CSX-s from loading (causing a crash), since the game considers them alternate liveries of the same loco. I didn't remove any other SPG mods and it runs fine.

    However, there were several I had to remove from Köln-Aachen.

    The SKA update in the pack replicates some SKA mods so I can see why it might conflict.

    I didn't have that one installed, but I wonder if maybe the Enhanced Clinchfield mod messes with the file loading the CSX SD40 properly or something like on that line.

    UPDATE: I found out which mod was causing the crashing. It was the Sandpatch Grade Enhancement Pack. So I'm guessing that it's the same with the other two routes. Hopefully these get patched soon.

    Good that you took the systematic approach and removed the mods Blartthaniel42 and worked out what was happening. Mods are cool but they also introduce uncertainty. I would recommend always disabling mods before installing updates and new additions.

    Can you clarify which ones that you have seen? I have a large number of TaskPlays's mods, as well as a handful of others from rail-sim.de.

    Also, I was able to load into SPG with the CRR NoSD40 sub mod + the Enhancement Pack with no crashes here (I just forgot what the mode lever is for on the SD40!).

    Cant confirm this, i have all enhancements mods for spg, bakerloo etc., everything runs well. In my case, i never made changes on the engin.ini file or use substitution mods except the sd40 clinchfield remover for spg.

    No crashes until now. Even if my pc is old, i have a 4gb graphics card, 64gb ram and use an i7 processor. Beside the crashes i had with the 4.26 update, since they updated this i rarley experienced one. And if so mostly because i messed with the unreal unlocker.

    I have the SPG and C40-8W enhancement packs installed, no problems at all.

    The SKA mods i removed were the PIS and 423-substitution ones, since those have effectively been rendered moot by the expansion, and might cause conflicts.

    The Bakerloo enhancement mod (the door announcements at least) do not work on the when driving the 72 stock with the new grey livery.

    Thats true because its a new train (livery). Basicly both "front door enabler" and "bkl enhancement pack" mods need an update.

    But both mods still work fine on my system, just not applied to the aluminium 72 stock.
