    Ok, so I was using the editor a couple of hours ago, no problems. I've just come back to it and it required an update. Ok, so I've installed the update. I then went to Steam and installed the update for TSW6, ran TSW6 first but the editor won't start. I'm getting "Launch Failed" with error LS-0013.

    I've tried removing the cache, verifying files, restarting everything, nothing works. I've even just tried completely reinstalling the editor. Still won't launch. What gives? Is it a version mismatch between TSW6 and the editor? They've both been updated on my system in the last hour and the computer restarted twice. Anybody got any ideas?

    Just had exactly the same problem and been through verifying the files, clearing the cache, running as administrator, disabling firewall and even reinstalling from scratch.
    No joy at all.

    Having same issue here - have a trouble shoot ticket in with Epic waiting for reply. I have two computers both having same issue so clearly something they have to correct.

    I found this on the BPH Discord; it’s by Julius Kleinstein [BPH]!
    You need to unzip it, place the BAT file in your editor’s folder path, and then use the BAT file to launch the editor.

    Emmy_Man - Wow that BAT file worked to open the editor. Do you have any idea why and how this does it and the standard way to open the editor not working?

    No, I don’t know anything about the TSW Editor or how it works.

    I was on Discord yesterday and read that a few people were having the same problem.
    And a modder offered this zip file there, so you can launch the editor using this BAT file.

    Thank you! Yes, that batch file works - you just need to copy it to the same location as the editor. For reference, the content is:

    @echo off
    :checkPrivileges
    net session >nul 2>&1
    if %errorLevel% == 0 (
    goto gotPrivileges
    ) else (
    goto getPrivileges
    )

    :getPrivileges
    if '%1'=='ELEV' (shift & goto gotPrivileges)
    setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
    set "batchPath=%~f0"
    setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getAdmin.vbs"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "!batchPath!", "ELEV", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getAdmin.vbs"
    "%temp%\getAdmin.vbs"
    exit /B

    :gotPrivileges
    setlocal & cd /d %~dp0
    if '%1'=='ELEV' (shift)

    ::

    start "" "%~dp0TS2Prototype\Binaries\Win64\TrainSimWorldPublicEditor.exe" "%~dp0TS2Prototype\TS2Prototype.uproject"

    exit /B

    Problem appears to be fixed now with additional update, thanks to the team for sorting it out.

    Hi, I have the problem that my Editor just crashes when launching it using and not using the .bat file. I have had this problem since January and no one has been able to help me so far.

    Here is the Log:

    Thank You! I hope someone is able to help me soon with this. I have tried so many things and nothing has worked so far.

    Assuming you have removed the cache and verified the installation as in the first post, I can only suggest that (very importantly) you first locate the route plugin you are working on and copy it to somewhere safe.
    Then uninstall the editor and reinstall it.

    My Route is backed up, I am just sad that I could not keep working on it since January. I have Uninstalled the editor and reinstalled it already multiple times, I have done the same with TSW 6, but nothing helped. I have verified the installation as well and it does not help. How do I remove the cache? I have not tried that

    Temporarily disabling antivirus and making absolutely sure there are no traces of any stray mods are the only other things I can think of.
