Hello I have a problem with my games crashing for some time at the start of loading but also sometimes in game and it tells me Access Violation how does this happen? I checked the entire game on Steam Property
I have random crash problems with the #Unreal-4 Engine#. The performance is good for my old GPU (AMD-Radeon 5700XT 8GB VideoRAM on 1440p Ultra-Detail !!! She makes good work !!!) - but the problems come not from the GPU, it comes from the Unreal-4 Engine !!! It crashs a lot of times and makes a lot of random problems. I have make screenshots from the crash. Dovetail Games you must repair the problems in this game, before you sell new DLC's. You have so many mistakes in your game. Red Signals who don't switch green is a very often problem in scenarios. The AI Trains are not good coordinate. That is not good for the fans of your beautiful game. I like your game soooo much. The love in the detail gfx is very nice. But the technical things of the game is so awful. Make it better in the future. And think about the Unreal-5 Engine. It's the better way for the game i think. Best regards from Alex (Freight train driver at DB Cargo from Germany) SiFa & PZB-55/70/85 & LZB (ETCS in future) are my trainreligions. ;-)
Hi AlexKid-Trainmaster & valentin#1030 as previously suggested, mods are the number 1 cause of TSW crashes on PC. Please remove any mods before you continue and complete a fresh reinstallation of the game if you can't be sure everything was removed. These are just some of the steps already covered in our troubleshooting guide, which is linked in the article pinned to the top of this forum: https://dovetailgames.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/80000896131
You should check how much headroom you have left on a 8GB GPU if you are running 1440p with all settings in Ultra. It's possible that you are exhausting all available VRAM resulting in a crash originated from the GPU. (your current GPU is comparable to a RTX2070 which is fairly low spec compared to more modern more powerful card).
I was getting quite a number of instances of UE crashing when trying to start the sim - failure to render. In my case the problems seemed twofold. Firstly because I had set up an upscaling profile for TSW in the Nvidia 3D settings. I removed that and now just use lossless scaling. I also had a stuck as in looping Windows Update, so I had to do a DISM and sfc /scannow (Google them) to fix Windows files that had become corrupted. Once that was done, the update cleared and whether as a result of one or both of those actions not had a problem since.
