    I have noticed that after I close Train Sim World 6, my computer starts freezing up and being extremely laggy to the point where I can't do anything and I have to manually restart my computer. The task manager shows that no processes from Train Sim World are running when it happens. Eventually it crashes my computer altogether in a complete freeze. I do not get the lag and crashing with closing or using any other program, and not while playing the game either. In-fact I have to keep the game open while doing other things on the computer just so my computer doesn't crash. I have Windows 11 with the latest updates. I just wanted to let the developers know about this issue and in-case other people have it as well.

    Hi DecaHertz ,
    At a wild guess, it sounds like your PC is running out of memory, but we really can't draw any concrete conclusions from a forum post. The best thing you can do is troubleshoot the problem using our Troubleshooting PC Technical Issues Guide. This will take you through everything you need to know and is available from the pinned thread in this channel.

    I found out the problem, and the problem was Train Sim World being installed. It started locking up my PC after restarting it even as I did not start the game after rebooting. Once I uninstalled Train Sim World it stopped lagging and crashing my computer. I'll have to just play Train Simulator Classic.
