It is. It has to validate the game to ensure it is legally owned by checking your Steam library.

[rolls eyes]

It's been identified as the compression routines in the route thumbnail images. Saving them out again seems to have solved the issue for many, so...

Fingers crossed, the DX12 update may have some impact on that... I'm hoping so anyway.

That's not the same as a copy of a working Railworks folder, but at least you can manually install everything again, but a copy of the railworks...

Hear Hear.... well said.

I've not encountered an issue with any of the third party content yet. You have to remember, these updates are to bring an old DX9 game up to...

While that may, or may not be a good idea, a better one would be to have a back up. Just create a copy of your (working) railworks folder on...

Probably a seperate issue. If you read the thread carefully, you will see the issue has been identified as the compression routines for the route...

It's not the images of the trains that is causing the crash, but the compression of the .png thumbnails in the routes folders... it's the route...

No, I mean make sure the sim works before you back it up, not that the back up works. The back up will always work, as you are just making a copy...

Yes. Just make a copy of Railworks on another drive, then if you want to restore, just copy it back, overwriting when prompted. Make super sure...

I don't have the files from the latest version, but my back up is only for the Railworks folder, so putting my back up on shouldn't have altered...

Now I have an entirely different situation. I had just put my back up back on, but I now I wish to see if resizing the thumbnails has fixed it,...

How many would be that big? They all seem to be around 50KB. [edit] I take that back... the thumbnail for ATS Pboro-cambridge is 2MB LOL.

If that's the case, I'm putting my backup back on, and never running the game online every again LOL

LOL... that's not what you wrote first time... I'll try it and report back.

I have no audiosetup.bat in my railworks folder.

I suspect this is going to be different for everyone. I've no idea which of those routes are causing the issue, and I'll be damned if I'm...

Ok, so it's not one route then, but something common amongst certain routes, or their thumbnail files. I have none of the routes that pennsy has,...

Ok... maybe not one particular route then... but there's got to be enough clues here for DTG to sort it out.... I hope. [edit] The Liverpool to...

Can you post up a screenshot of your page 4? It may be something to do with a route, and if it's also on my page 3, we can start to narrow it down.

Same here, but so far only on quick drive.. always on the same page.... shown below. [ATTACH]

I just tried going backwards instead of forwards through the pages, and it doesn't freeze on any other page except the one shown above, so it's...

Oh well.... spoke too soon. The game freezes on the quick drive menu if I move pages. It always freezes on the same quick drive page as it's...

Well... don't know what to say, but all fine here, or at least the same as it was. Still get the occasional vertex buffer issue if I tab to the...

Updated. All good here so far.

Take your time. Measure twice... cut once LOL. I was just reassuring the other guy that it's not just him :)

That's still the old version then, I think. No update here yet either. There was a small update of a few hundred MB, but nothing else at...

As trains, they're awful, I agree, and I use them all the time, but the lack of them in the sim just makes any modern northern route unrealistic...

In fairness, it's not the concept of a career mode that's silly, it's how it's implemented in the scenarios. If you have to slam the throttle to...

I can't agree more. Never use them. They make you drive like an idiot just so you can earn a score. It's the kind of thing you expect in TSW, not...

LOL.... so simple... thanks :)

How do you edit it? Your screenshot shows you editing it as a xml file.

Just to say I'm on 5.8, and it seems OK so far... for me anyway. It seems we're all getting different results.

When you have a large amount of assets installed, it becomes slow and unwieldy, where as just using 7zip remains lightning fast and responsive.

Oooh! I'm off to take a look. Thanks. [edit] Not sure how to edit the .bin files... if that's what I need to do that is.

I wish it would take GMT/BST into account. Sunset in high summer at my latitude is almost 10pm, but it's 9 in the game.

You should be doing that anyway as part of your back up strategy, right? :)

He's done that already. Please read the thread.

Also rain inside stations is annoying.

Neither do I. The only commonality I can see so far, is that the scenarios that give you a problem, have assets missing.

It's not the LNER HST it requires, it's the Kuju one that is part of the European Asset Pack.

That's a lovely looking model.

No... that's what I did, and I have never had an issue since upgrading to v2.0. I'm sure that missing coach is from the GEML Class 90, or maybe...

NOBKINS! No.. I'm not swearing... I just remembered. That's the guy who originally worked on the route, so I checked, and that's the one. You...

Ah,.... now it makes sense.

Well, you'd think so, and I so did I based on the same info, but Harrogate Loop still doesn't use AP weather. Liverpool Manchester does, so it...

Nope.
