External Componet Throws an Exception

[nat]

Hello Open Rails Team,
A while I downloaded Open Rails and have been having the same exact error for a while until I gave up. Now I decided to try again and it still gives me the same error with all stock, and all routes. Has this been fixed yet? I have been wanting to try ORTS for a long time but have been un able to.

Thanks,
-Nathan

Nathan,

The issue only seems to affect certain older Nvidia GPU's.

So far I've tried OpenRails on five different Nvidia video cards, 5900 Ultra, Go 7950GTX (Dell XPS laptop), 8800 Ultra, GTX 285 and a GTX 480. The only one so far to throw out the “External component has thrown an exception” error was the 5900 Ultra.

There has been some previous discussion about the issue and if I remember correctly the development team has already corrected the issue in more recent OR build's.

Nathan,
We believe this problem is fixed. However, we haven't updated the public release download, which is why you are still getting the error.

Stay tuned for the next public release.
