    Indeed, I upgraded to 5.7 when I got APSWEP 2.0. This might be worth looking into. As for borderless, yeah I've tried it and it works fine. But it seems to have an FPS hit for me, plus there's the non-adjustable brightness issue. I'll probably switch to that if all else fails.

    It would appear that 5.6 is good. I’ve tabbed in and out and had the EP force me out numerous times and I can’t get the game crash with the ‘failed to create vertex blah’ error.

    Can you find it online?

    I found 5.6 and installed it. Now it gives me an OOM instead when EP forces me out, LOL Anyway, will do more testing later on.

    Well I kept testing, it seems that 5.6 is stable and it's just a shader that gives the aforementioned OOM. I am using Pookeyhead's preset at the moment so luckily there aren't that many shaders to go over.

    That’s good news. I edited a scenario this morning and put close to 10 transitions in it, and was in and out of the game in fullscreen countless times. Didn’t crash once so 5.7 is definitely the problem for whatever reason.

    Just a follow-up to the above, AP Weather 2.0 works perfectly fine with 5.6 and any shaders, including alt-tabbing countless times, as long as static weather is selected. With dynamic weather enabled (i.e. the AP script needs to run and minimises TSC), there's a strong possibility of crashing either due to specific shaders which need to be de-selected as mentioned above, or sometimes randomly. I hope AP comes up with a way to run their scripts without forcing TSC to minimise.

    Does that minimising still occur even if you run in Borderless as suggested in the manual?

    Νο but borderless has other issues which have been mentioned by myself and others before.

    I can’t say I’m having the same problem with 5.6. It forces the game to the taskbar once with dynamic weather but the game no longer crashes. That can only be a hardware thing I think.

    Other issue I have is I have not been able to get the new skies in APSWEP 2 to work with Ruhr Sieg route. I have followed the instructions but just see a grey sky. Wondered if anyone else has had any luck with older routes?

    I had this on WCML N what fixed it for me was a fresh install of the pack,

    restarted the sim and it worked.

    this is what i had before the install:

    And after reinstall it went back to how it should:

    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.

    Doesn't it apply to WCML North automatically after installation? Ruhr Sieg isn't listed so amended the time of day files. I may wait till the update goes in anyhow just incase that causes any further problem.
