Vnhrr Montana Hi Line Does Not Work Anymore

Tried a few scenarios - each one freezes on loading. Only seems to work in 32bit now.

Your experiences please

 

Same results. CTD all scenarios and all drive modes in 64 bit. Filed a report.

 

Same experience here, loading Career scenarios 64 bit(no dx12) locks up at loading splash screen, seems OK using 32 bit....

 

DTG JD Can you forward this? I know you're mainly on the TSW forums (they're getting all the attention ), thanks in advance.

I have found the issue - it is the signal scripts in Assets\VNHRR\HiLine\RailNetwork\Signals\BNSFScripts

That's why you can access the route in the editor, as scripts are not being executed there.

These are binary (.out) - TrainSim-Steve can you work that out in cooperation with Rick Grout (G-TraX) or his friend Michael Stephan (VNHRR)?

cmd: dir /s *.out, removed BNSFscripts folder, starting scenario, loads up!

 

Stevens Pass also affected - as any route using G-TraX signals it seems.

 

Torfmeister, You get my vote for Most Valuable Poster on this forum, thanks so much for all you do for us...

 

Thanks for your feedback, samsonbo. I do hope we have a community manager left that interacts with the TSC base

I've sent a message to Rick Grout, as I understand he's the script author. Most US routes were collaboration efforts by Milepost, G-Trax and GreatNortherner.

dtg_jan ?

 

Pretty sure Milepost works independently from Gtrax and GN, I don't think he ever worked with Rick or Michael on any projects.

 

Alaska Anchorage - Seward was done by Michael Stephan (GN) and Jonathan Lewis (Milepost), Scenarios by Jim Friedland (JBFried).

Milepost also worked on Soldier Summit and Pacific Surfliner.

 

Alaska is that weird route that I forget exists sometimes....

 

I have updated my ticket to DTG as follows: I also can also confirm this CTD on Stevens Pass, VNHRR Springfield, and Montana Hi Line in 64 bit in all drive modes.

 

Has anyone come up with a good work around or are we stuck until there's a fix? I've pulled out all of what little hair i have left, lol.

 

Use 32-bit mode - no issues with 64bit Floating Point maths here

DTG Jamie Has anyone taken notice? (Have a nice weekend, sorry for tagging )

 

I wonder what would cause the issue with the 64 bit mode versus the 32 bit mode?

 

64 bit Floating Point maths.

 

having the same issue on the New Haven Springfield route, Montana Hi-line, Montana Hi-line & Marias Pass ( Workshop) ( 64BIT )
The game loads and then freeze on the loading screen.

 

Yep, they're all using Rick's signals. Should be fixed soon.

 

I hope the fix will come on Steam so you do not need go to some third party site and download it.

And what about fix for Chessie System for 64-bit on Norfolk Southern route?

I play all my routes on 64-bit.

 

Fix is here:

How do I install it?

 

Thank you for the response Steve looking forward to the fix once it's available.

 

Now that is great news. I have some Searchlight units that will only operate in the 64 bit mode.

 

The teams commitment to future proofing TSC without breaking stuff is fantastic!

 

looking forward to the patch hopefully, it'll be patched soon.

 

Yeah, Steam update slots must be booked in advance so their servers don't collapse. Needs dispatching like trains do

 

Does this error still need to be fixed?

 

If you're asking torfmeister unfortunately he's no longer a member here, so will not be able at present to further contribute to this or any other topic.

 

I wonder why he left?
He was quite helpful in a number of different threads

 

Prolly banned due to the drama on the MML thread on TSW side discussing court stuff and so

 

He was indeed given a temp ban over that but decided not to return and closed his account.

There's really nothing else to say on the subject because a) it's none of my business and I wasn't involved in the TSW thread/forum and b) this isn't the place to discuss such things anyway.

Just letting the member know they're not going to get a response to their question is all.

And yes torfmeister will be missed his TSC knowledge and fixes were/are invaluable.

 

Agree with you 100% it's no one business what happened and is not the place to discuss it.

He will be missed for all the help he gave everyone including me at one time.

 

Other users also encountered the same problem; I just want to know if the Vnhrr routes or the Stevens pass still don't work with the 64-bit version or if patches have been released on the individual routes; thank you.

 

This has been going on since the end of April. DTG is mute on this, DTG Jamie said we will let you know and that was a few weeks ago. They keep pumping out new products but no fixes.It is a fix it your self situation. The patches can be found here for Stevens Pass, VNHRR-Springfield, and Montana Hi-Line. Not that hard to do just read the instructions carefully.

Or showing that he knows more than the DTG staff.

 

Thank you

 

Will there be any fix for Stevens Pass, VNHRR-Springfield, and Montana Hi-Line any time soon so they will be playable in 64-bit?

At the moment it is a do-it-yourself patch go here and download, read all the instructions. A lot better than waiting for another 3 weeks (snarkey I know). https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c1-train-sim-classic/c13-patches

 

I tried it but did not work

 

It should. It has worked for other people including my self. Review the instructions. Reboot your system after installation and clear the cache.

 

These 64-bit fixes were made 30 days ago, I don't understand why the delay in fixing it on Steam, they can even use these files, they are the copyright holders after all, I only fixed the problem, which was very easy.

Now if it's going to take another 3 weeks, this could turn into memes.

 

Normal DTG operations. So many things go unresolved over the years. You have an option, use it, consider it a thumb in the eye.

 

Thanks, coincidentally a guy from the RailWorks America forum gave me this GN Cascadian Route as a gift to check this error in the 64-bit version, because he sent me a private message 15 days ago, only on Wednesday I was able to access the forum. It has been fixed and is now available for download.

GN Cascadian Route loading bug fixed in v74.8a on 64-bit
https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...an-route-loading-bug-fixed-in-v748a-on-64-bit

My review on this route, unbelievable, the BOX Y-1 locomotive made me dream again, we had a few similar ones around here, I didn't know about this route, it should be sold on Steam, unless it's a particularity that I respect within the case.

Everything about the GN Cascadian Route can be found in these links, the first part is paid, the rest is pure fun in Addons and Scenarios.

I was wondering why the New Haven route I bought last year didn't work anymore...

It's been two months now, what happened to that next day?

 

Abandon ye all hope who enter here. It is now a do it yourself fix. Follow the links in post #40.

 

Definitely wouldn’t be the first time DTG have lied about a fix coming out…

I just got on and checked the NY-NH route and it runs just fine so whatever was wrong must now be fixed.
