    Strange one last night... Decided to take a look at Clinchfield, loaded up a career scenario okay. After switching to exterior view up popped a message to the effect my graphics settings were too ambitious for my hardware and the game aborted! This was in 64 bit and I will try again in 32 bit but I've never had this before, not even on routes like WCML North that push things. Maybe as I'd just finished a run on WCML South the game hadn't purged my RAM fully - but with 24Gb memory a GTX 1650 and an I7 4770 wouldn't have thought there should be an issue.

    At one time it was always worth closing down TS20xx before running another route
    I used to get crash to desktop but the 64 bit solved most of those problems

    And just because you have 24Gb of memory does not mean the game can use anymore than what it normally does
    Peter Hayes will know more than me about the subject

    As P749 says it has nothing to do with the amount of Physical RAM installed
    Most OOMs in TS2021 are to do with a mismatch between the Virtual Address Space (VAS) and a Physical RAM address. IMO unfixable.
    Your error sounds more like a graphics issue!
    It would be great to see the exact wording of the error if at all possible.
    Are you using the latest graphics driver for your card?
    What are your computer specs especially graphics card and monitor?

    I have since run the scenario successfully from a clean boot of the PC, so guess it will remain a mystery.
