    Thanks to everyone who helped me last post, but now I'm running into another issue.
    Whenever I try to drive a train and then swap to the cab camera, the game freezes and refuses to work.
    Which means I have to restart my computer to get rid of my frozen screen.
    Does anybody have a solution to how I can either stop it completely or fix my frozen screen?

    Thank you.

    What are your computer specs and which train and route?

    Stats I were able to find in my Computer Settings
    Windows 11 Home
    12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400 2.50 GHz
    12.0 GB of installed ram and 11.8 is usable
    64 Bit Operating System

    As for a Route, it happens on my own Custom Route, but sometimes also happens when I'm on different routes.
    Sometimes it'll even freeze the game as I'm loading into it.

    Is this a desktop or a laptop? Do you have a video card installed and what type is it?

    Assuming there is a decent graphics card (which I presume there is) this is an issue with TS itself. The installation is likely corrupt in some way; verifying files may fix it but no guarantees.

    This is a Desktop Computer, and I'm not exactly sure if there's a video card installed. I assume so however.

    Laptops don't have Video Cards but Desk Top computers do

    If you download the free version of Speccy you can see what hardware your computer has

    If I've got it right... (I'm not technical with Computers.) Then the Video Card is an Intel(R) UHD Graphics 730.
    Correct me if I'm looking at the wrong settings.

    Not a good graphics card at all. May I ask for other specs too? Primarily CPU and RAM, other things don't matter as much.

    5.2GB... Is that RAM or storage?

    It's the RAM that's still available.

    What apps do you have open? Web browsers like Chromium-based ones are notorious for high RAM usage. With lower power PCs such as yours, you need to make sure nothing is running in the background for the best chance of good performance. You will also need to increase the size of the page file to be much larger than default, as Windows can move unimportant things into it giving TS access to more RAM.

    I did that, and I went to a new route to test it, but once again as soon as I press 1 for the Cabview or Click for Cabview, the game is Frozen.
