    TSW4 crashes my PC (under Steam) whenever I try to run any option, regardless of which Train/Loco under Time Table in the ECML Doncaster-Peterborough Route (Reduced or Not Reduced). No crashes occur in any other routes.

    The game crashes and shows the following Unreal Engine Error message:

    LoginId:e84494f8439b7903f43dca978b25d225
    EpicAccountId:

    Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000

    Note 1: This happens irrespective of whether or not my PC is running Overclocked or not.
    Note2: This happens irrespective of whether or not I am running with a modified Engine.ini or not.
    Note3: This happens irrespective of whether or not I run the game under DX 12 or DX 11
    Note 4: No crashes occur when running any other routes, irrespective of whether or not I load Timetables or Scenarios; or whether I run training modules; and regardless of which train/locomotive I select.

    I have Re-installed the entire game. The crash still occurs.
    I have re-installed the ECML Doncaster-Peterborough Route. The crash still occurs.

    Any suggestions as to how to solve this anomaly?

    Edit: Corrected a typo.

    Yes. However, I have found that this strange crash occurs whether I have the mods installed, or not.

    And, the crash only occurs in Timetable mode on that specific ECML Doncaster-Peterborough Route. Nowhere else.

    Most mods from tsw3 don't work in tsw4. Only use the mods that have the tsw4 tag which you can filter. Then do a file validation.

    I earlier reported I had removed all mods but still experienced crashes. I had another look and found I had skipped some. have now removed all mods and no-longer experience crashes. Many thanks for the advice.
