Official v645 Thread

1) It wasn't switching to cab view. Repeated attempts all behaved the same.
2) I would suggest that you populate the silverlight combo box with enumerated available resolutions rather than a fixed list. The reason I couldn't save wasn't that I didn't see the button, it was that the 2,000 x 600 resolution wasn't valid to the software. Also, can you re-shape the menu on demand so if it doesn't fix the window it resizes to fit in some manner, smaller text or 4 panels wide rather than 2 panels x 2 panels.
3) I'll set up one of the PC's tonight or tomorrow night and get you the debug info.
4) I had received a copy of the code from the previous release and had started to incorporate RailDriver support. I was having the same problem but when I heard RD support was being included in the next release I stopped working on it and never got around to investigating further.

[lindsayts]

You can use screen sizes up to at least 2560x1600 (the resolution I use) by entering the screen resolution in the box in the old style menu system. OR then saves into the registry (I suppose) after that the new menu system works OK. Apparently the error checking in V645 save routine wont allow widths higher than 2000.

V645 save routine will not wipe out the higher resolution once it has been saved (well it has not done to me anyway) so one can save the settings without problems

Hi, thanks for the error report. It's very important to attach a complete copy of the OR log file when reporting an issue. It contains vital information for the dev team. You should find it on your desktop.

I have a bit of a problem with the route "Adelaide hills and SE" will not load no matter where one starts in it. The fault can be reliably produced on 3 different systems.
The route works completely OK in OR V360. I know why the first error comes up but the 2nd error is what is stopping OR. Any ideas?

The following is the "OpenRailsLog.txt" file of the bug..............

I remember we had this error in testing with a route containing a 3-way switch, but I can't recall if we got it fixed for the release. It's likely something like that here.

Many thanks for the reply, the error message is one of the relatively few that OR gives with no info on the exact postition of the error. The parsing routine being a REAL good way to pick up problems in rolling stock or scenery items that is likely giving problems in MSTS.

The Adelaide hills route is enormouse (600 miles of mainline, mostly single track) OR bombs immedaitely the route starts to load, ie No loading status txt has been printed.

Now a bit of feedback on the "partical" system that generates the funnel smoke. I find it worked sometimes and not others. I have done a considerable amount of testing on this and I think I may have some answers.
Now I have installed OR on three systems. All systems have 4gig of RAM.

System 1
MB Gigabyte P35 DS03P
cpu Q6600
Graphics originaly NVidia GTX 460 later replaced with Radeon 4870
Monitor Sony G520 (crt) at 1600x1200

System 2
MB ASUS P7P55D E Deluxe
cpu i5 750
Graphics Nvidia GTX 260 super over clocked
Monitor Samsung 305T at 2560x1600

System 3
MB ASUS P6X58D Premium
cpu i7 950 (I think)
Graphics Radeon 4870 later replaced with Radeon 5870
Monitor Samsung 2443 at 1910x1200

The smoke peformed correctly on System 1 and system 2 with the Nvidia cards. On system 3 the smoke was intermitent being on and off for some seconds at a time. I could decern no pattern or any trigger events. When system 1 had the Nvdia replaced with the Radeon 4870 it behaved exactly as system 3. Changing the card in system 3 to the 5870 did not effect the particle system. It did though double the frame rate which I class as good going as the 4870 inspite of its age is no slouch giving both the Nvidias a run for there money.

Conclusion, it appears the problem of the smoke starting and stopping is somehow tied up with the type of video card.
BTW. the latest drivers are installed on all systems.

Is this route downloadable somewhere?

Hello lindsayts

I see the intermittent diesel exhaust smoke here as well with an ATI 5770 HD card and the latest (11.2) drivers. If I get some time later this weekend I will try changing a few settings to see if I can find a setting that might isolate the cause.

Otto,
I was able to download in about 10 min via my high speed cable modem using the regular download - not the premium.

The Adelaide hills route is enormouse (600 miles of mainline, mostly single track) OR bombs immedaitely the route starts to load, ie No loading status txt has been printed.

Having downloaded the route, I've just checked this and it is indeed a 3-way switch causing the loading error.
