    Last Sunday I bought BLS Lötschberg Bergstrecke Lötschberg Bergstrecke forTS Classic from Simtrain.ch. After installation I began to drive a scenario. But what a surprise: near by Ausserberg the hud f4 pops suddenly up without pressing the F4 key. Then all the TS Classic settings are put back to the default. So I have lost all my settings. Other more, TS Classic doesn’t respond to RW Enhancer. Another user of this addon fund that the bug may be in the Road Tile +000012-000042.bin. There is a screenshot. Immediately I wrote to Simtraind and the answer was, that the bug is from Dove Tail Games. The thing is that this issue only appears when I’m using this addon. I tried a lot of things to restore my TS Classic settings, but there is no way. I think the only solution would be a complete new installation of the whole TS Classi. There are 1TB of data and many months of work. Now 5 days have passed and I haven’t received any pardon or solution. There my warning is: Don’t by anything from Simtrain, it is very dangerous.

    That is your opinion.
    I have bought a route plus numerous rolling stock over the years without any problems - well a few niggles nothing serious.
    I would think that if there were more problems with this route somebody else might have mentioned it.

    You posted a screenshot - what is the problem with that tile?

    A malformed Playerprofile.bin tile has slipped into the route tiles folder, causing your game to crash, perhaps reset itself and delete stuff.

    apparently, the grave error has been corrected.

    To go by the store page https://www.simtrain.ch/pi/Add-ons-TS2014-TS2022/Schweiz1/bls-loetschberg-bergstrecke.html and the linked screenshots and video, make your mind up whether you'll part with the SFR 45 for a route and trains that are only slightly above RSSLO/GBE standard.

    Thats not nice but what did you expect here?! This kind of things can happen and its you're own risk and you have to make backups over the time! DTG have noting to with this! Reason? They sell it via there own webshop.

    As a developer you are NOT supposed to include data that is modify/erases peoples player profiles. Period!!!

    And that is regardless of whether people have the sense to backup or not. I could understand it with a freeware item, but as a payware developer….just a no go.

    But the REAL issue here is that it ought to have been fixed ASAP after users reported it. Instead they were fobbed off with “dtgs fault”.

    Why/how have a Playerprofile.bin ended up as a road tile? Is this a known bug?
    Never heard of this before.

    As you say, always have a backup. I can’t agree more. I have several.

    Usually a result of Drag&Drop operation - release the button at the wrong time. I've seen lots of wrong files in 3rd party content.

    Unless the playerprofiles.bin is NOT copied to Content\ by the Installer, it should not do any damage though - the game would just skip that tile (because it doesn't fit the nomenclature of filenames as coordinates.)

    In any case by deleting Content\PlayerProfiles.bin you get the default settings back.

    I've followed the discussion on rail-sim.de, indeed it's a properly named road tile containing a player profile blueprint that WILL change your settings. (still no need to reinstall)

    Funny to see SimTrain quickly putting the blame on DTG, whereas this error must not happen when working according to guidelines. Which immediately lowers my respect for them. You make a mistake, you admit it. Period.

    Copy&Paste work gone wrong here. They have manually edited the editor's output. Don't blame others for that!

    I wonder what consequences DTM's false cab occlusion (which are route tunnel occlusion) blueprints cause. It seems, they are being ignored and zero occlusion is applied.

    I had this issue, and deleting the road tile fixed it. On the other hand, RW Enhancer 2 is not working in QD since then - whatever I select in RWE, it's not relflected in the game like before. Any ideas how to reset this? Is it possible that the above problem damaged my installation (don't mean game settings, that I reset by deleting PlayerProfiles.bin)?

    Maybe reinstall RW Enhancer 2?
    That is the program that is not responding

    Another thread mentions a problem with RW Enhancer 2 not working in Quick Drive

    I had the same problem. Then I deleted the playerprofiles and uninstalled rw enhancer 2. After reinstalling rw enhancer now all works like before.
