    **Update: Issue has been found (More info Below)**

    For clarity, when i say session im talking about the time between the game opening and then closing as being 1 session.

    This issue seems extremely specific tonme so you'll have to bear with me on explaining

    Route: ATS Anglia Merge / North London Line / ECML Merge (Found on ATS Website)

    Locomotive: AP Class 37, Class 92 (Non-AP Sound Pack)

    Ive come across an issue which is unresolved after hours of troubleshooting.

    Im forced into loading a scenario of medium size before i ever try to load a large scenario as if i dont prepare TS then it'll crash, for some reason if I do thise "pre-load" on a different scenario then it seems to run fine afterwards. Normally this would work fine I have a go-to scenario in which i prepare this action.

    However in the last 2 days Ive had an issue where the 1st scenario of any session loads perfectly, but upon loading the 2nd scenario all of the sound is missing however all keybinds remain in place.

    I have read about an anti-virus issue deleting or flagging files but as far as im aware I dont have any ofbthat installed other than the standard Windows 10 whatever they use to scan occasionally.

    I have tried the following Troubleshooting:
    - using a different "pre-load" scenario
    - Clearing Cache
    - Verifying integrity of files
    - Re-downloading the Locomotive used in the scenario (AP Class 37)
    - Changing the default audio output
    - Clearing and resolving any static clashes
    - Cloning the scenario
    - Restarting the whole PC
    - Changing the 2nd loaded scenario (Different Locomotive + Route)

    Does anyone have anything similar or is this issue too specific to resolve? Very long post I do apologise but context is lost without all this info.

    Update - So the issue is as follows.
    For whatever reason if Train sim is minimalised into the background, upon fullscreening it triggers a full asset reload. However, somewhere in this reload sound data is lost and the only fix is relaunching.

    Those of you with the AP Weather pack will know about the issues surrounding SWEP Markers causing a boot to Steam whilst not crashing the game. Because of this, loading a scenario with the current November 2024 versions of the AP 2.0 Weather Pack and Train Sim Classic, when the Weather markers render and boot to steam, it causes all the problems.

    So until a fix is found on either DTGs or APs side of things, the markers are effectively useless.

    Sometimes a Scenario would crash if it was not on a DTG rout
    I would play a short DTG Scenario first and then move to the one I want to play.

    I presume you are not on the Beta version of the game?
