    I can answer this. I took Matts advice. I fall into the “IF you have mods” category.
    I “DID” uninstall everything and having looked today most mods have been repackaged to 4.26 so I will start to put the, back.

    I have had NO crashes at all, only the error on exit.

    When you error on exit - is this every exit? How are you exiting? Can you share a video of this? (or has someone else that can point me at the link)

    Thanks
    Matt.

    Hi Matt.

    Based on reports shared by other players and my own testing earlier today, the post-game UE crash report appears to be linked to Dovetail Live. When logged into DTL in-game, I get a UE crash report when exiting the game.

    When I log out of DTL in-game, the crash report no longer appears when exiting.

    I posted steps to reproduce the issue here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...ngine-ini-settings-or-dx12.44265/#post-361548

    Thanks

    I also get these exit crashes but they seem to be random to me. They dont happen everytime, just sometimes. Regardless if I quit the game with alt+f4, press quit in the main menu or quit the game from other menus.

    I still “loose” button functionality on PC/Xbox controller. I have to use keyboard to get into timetable after choosing loco. During a MBTA loco end run i lost the B button on the controller and had to use Q on the keyboard to acknowledge the ATC/ACSES commands. And the Operation Shift Control does not work. (Support ticket sent but not answered yet.) And I get a crash report after exiting the game which doesn’t crash until exit command. The game stops alright but with “leftovers” on the desktop.

    I have only exited from the pause screen once, and got the crash on exit.

    Every other time, I have gone back to main menu then exited, this has been fine, so potential to match the experience of redrev1917 there

    A crash doesn't occur for me if I exit from the main route selection screen.
    If I exit after completing a scenario (within the route options screen), then I get the UE crash message.
    Note: I am always logged into Dovetail Live and this was only tested playing the Boston route.

    Same here, even when logged out of Dovetail live.

    I have had no crashes in game and no crashes on exit from any screen. I have not been logged in to DTL for a long time now.

    You are right… been dealing with IT since the early 80’s and a cyber-security consultant (still practicing by the way) since the mid 90’s and at times I do forget some are not familiar with the tech they use…. My apologies

    In your Steam settings just delete the "-DX12" command. It will default to DX11.

    He doesn't use the command that is where some confusion was.

    I have had the opposite experience. I had a modified Engine.ini and use mods, mainly for the Diesels Legend pack but others as well. After I upgraded I booted the game and it ran fine. I went into the Diesel Legends and ran the modified 101, which hasn't been updated btw.

    Then I started to read all these reports saying you have to delete your modified Engine.ini and any mods that was done for pre update. I did a full reinstall and even deleted folders, when I got in game the micro stutters were back, I haven't had any CTD's though, I didn't before.
