    I don't know what happened, but as soon as I start running it, it will load for a few seconds, and then stop, with no error message. 32 bits run ok.

    Have you installed recently installed any Workshop Scenarios or other assets?

    ^ Usually it's due to some faulty scenario, that's what the game crawls (collects) at the beginning.
    Although, if it starts in 32 bit, it could be something else.

    Resolution:
    • Post your complaint in the Technical Reports and maybe one of the ongoing announcement threads.
      (Seriously, this issue is ongoing for 8 years, it needs to have some priority. At the very least, ignore faulty files gracefully.)
    • Clear your cache. If you can't start the game, just delete .../RailWorks/Content/SDBCache.*
      Start the game, it will take a while to rebuild. Sometimes it succeeds and starts 1-2-3 times until corruption.
    • Search for ScenarioProperties.xml, sort by recently updated, peek inside and whenever you find a faulty one, delete its entire folder.
      Try to start the game, clear cache if it fails. Repeat.
    • Delete every Scenarios folder inside Content (inside routes). You can restore official scenarios with a Steam file integrity check.
      You can also rename them to Scenarios.bak each.
      Start the game, repeat the above as necessary.
    • Unsubscribe from all workshop (favorite instead) and repeat the above as necessary.
    • Reinstall the game.
    Guess we should have a sticky with one of these lists perfected. Silly me types it each time, but I'm well into double digits and I'm not the only one! :D

    Thanks to those of you that replied. I have not installed any Workshop Scenarios or assets. The last thing that has been installed, was the update to Train Simulator Classic. I hadn't run it for about 10 days. It was ok then. When I get time later, I will try triznya.andras list of possible Resolutions.

    Again, thanks 749006 and triznya.andras.
