    Hello.
    I have a problem with the 32 bit edition of TSC. After playing with the 64Bit Edition (DX12 experimental) I found out that the 32 bit edition was by far better to play than with the 64Bit or 64Bit Edition (DX12 experimental). So after finding that out, I obviously switched to the 32bit edition, but to my disappointment a lot of the 3rd party routes started to crash lt. become entirely undriveable (RWA and RSSLO). The Semmeringbahn, Mittenwaldbahn and the other steam routes work fine. I was wondering if I’m the only one with this issue or if there’s someone out there facing the same trouble as I do. I hope I can find some help here and I’d really be thankful if someone knew what was going on.
    Thanks a lot.

    Never went back to 32 bit. I do not use the beta just the current version of 64 bit.

    Only a small proportion of computers will run TS better using the 32 bit version as opposed to the 64 bit one. The DirectX 12 version is experimental and from my experience generally performs worse than the DX9 64 bit version.

    Nowadays most people will use the 64 bit version, as it's a lot more stable and runs better too. The 32 bit version is effectively just along for the ride. The crashes you experience will likely not happen in the 64 bit version. Out of interest, what are the specs of your PC?

    Update: the issue has been fixed and the 32bit edition is now running again without any problems

    I'm not sure why you're getting better performance on the 32-bit version then, as the 64-bit one is the one that runs better for most people.
