    When I couple up to the broken down train, the game freezes and then closes (no crash report box or whatever...it just closes)

    Google AI says either under 1mph or manual attach could be a work around

    update: doesn't work, I was inching forward while having outside camera looking at the 2 trains and the game still closed

    Hello gtafan

    Thank you for reporting this issue. I will raise this internally for investigation. A few questions for clarification:
    Do you have any mods installed, or did you make any other modifications?
    Are you using Beginner Controls? Could you please check under Settings > Controls and see if the top option "Beginner Controls" is either set to "On" or "Off"?

    All the best,
    Jan

    I also just had this issue 3 times out of 3:
    • First time I got a crash after the train hooked up and I was leaving the 66 cab to go to the HST cab at other end.
    • Second time I was much faster so I managed to get to the HST cab, set it up, walk back to the 66 cab preparing to leave, then half way through setting up I got the crash.
    • Third time, I tried setting AI conductor mode to off (this had previously helped me get past Westworld scenario), but still got the crash, this time just walking along platform back to 66 cab. Was checking the in game time this time, crashed at roughly 09:18:10 in game scenario time (not sure on exact second +/-3 seconds). Would guess crash is to do with something scripted to happen at roughly this time as I was doing 3 completely different actions on each crash.
    Also other minor issues with this specific scenario:
    • When first tells you to set lights to day running (after switching cab in 66 for first time) the game only progresses if you actually select night running.
    • In that opposite end of the cab it doesn't tell you to switch the 3 switches for fuel pump, engine run and generator, can't move train without those.
    Beginner controls set to off.
    AI assist set to "Expert" but AI conductor mode was set to both "Always on" & "Off", ("Realistic" previously conflicted with Westworld scenario so didn't try it).
    Was running with safety features active.
    There were lots of other bugs in most of the GWE journey up till this scenario too.

    Reproduced again, realised it's creating crash logs so guess I may as well upload a set of them.
    This time I just walked to platform 14 as part of first objective and never got in the class 66, just walked around the platform until it crashed.

    This also happened to me when playing this scenario today. It crashed about 4 to 5 times in total around the same point into the scenario as described above. By using save games everytime I reached the next step I eventually got the train out on the mainline after which the chrashes stopped occurring.
