Right folks, I’ve got a strange problem and I’m looking for ideas. Recently, I think at the end of March, my system developed an issue with the SEHS route. It now takes several minutes to load any service on the ‘traditional’ part of the route (services loading at St Pancras not affected) and once loaded I have extreme frame rate drops, particularly when moving the camera. I’m talking from 120 frames down to 4 or less. I’ve not just removed all mods investigating this, I removed TSW6 from my system, removed the save game folder tree and loaded a clean install with just SEHS downloaded and still got the same issue. All other routes are running completely fine! Any ideas what on earth is going on?
I saw a report from someone else recently with the same kind of problem I think: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...es-following-todays-patch.97379/#post-1106306
Coming back to this one as I have finally managed to find a fix. The problem got worse and worse for me with multiple routes affected (though not all) by extreme lag. My GPU would just drop to 0% utilised for 5-10 seconds before coming back. I also started crashing out of every session with UE4 exceptions. That gave me a clue to what I’d missed. Turns out that when I had reinstalled the game I hadn’t deleted the files that were left behind in the steam directory. I did another delete of the game and lo and behold there were still files in the directory and they were all UE4 related. After getting rid and reinstalling the game is running like a dream again. Thought I’d leave this here in case anyone else comes across it whilst suffering with corrupt UE4 files. Happy simming
