    I've been trying to diagnose a problem with the Chicago Racetrack route, where the game keeps crashing anytime I try to start a quickdrive scenario between Downer's Grove and Aurora. Strangely enough, starting a quickdrive scenario at a station outside of that range (e.g, Hinsdale) causes no problems, and I can drive all the way through to Aurora.

    The other issue I'm having is that LogMate isn't recording any information. It creates a log txt file, but it's size is 0 kb, and is completely blank on the inside. I've plugged the automatic LogMate code into the launch options box (-LogMate -SetLogFilters=all), and it has worked recently in the past, but it seems to have stopped for some reason.

    I have no idea how to fix any of this, hopefully someone here can help. I've scoured the internet, but I can't find anything pertaining to either issue.

    Use this:
    Code:
    -LogMate -SetLogFilters="All" -lua-debug-messages

    The problem might be with the Quick Drive Scenario - if the direction markers and information is wrong then it fails.
    Go it to the Editor and have a look at the scenario and see if you spot something.

    When Cologne - Dusseldorf was released the Quick Drive would not work from Dusseldorf as the direction marker was facing the wrong way.

    Oystein: Just tried that, still no change.

    749006: I forgot to mention this, but it does the same thing for career scenarios. I just tried to run the scenario "Chicago-Bound Express", and it loaded for about 5 seconds before crashing with the "Out of memory" error. The strange thing is that I played that scenario about a month ago, and it worked flawlessly (at about 10 fps).
