MS XNA framework

Can ORTS only run with XNA 3.1? I have 4.0 but it's not working. Any help is apperciated.

Yes, it only runs with 3.1 (4.0 won't work). I asked a similar question here: https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showth...XNA-4.0-vs-3.1

Ah once they come out with a new version maybe it can run with 3.1 and up. Thanks.

Where did you get XNA 4.0 from, ORTS having installed 3.1 on my computer ?

XNA 4.0 can be downloaded separately from the Microsoft website.

I don't see why not. From what I understand, 3.1 and 4.0, being independent frameworks, can be installed concurrently. However, since OR requires 3.1, there's not much of a reason to have 4.0 (unless you have a different program that requires it).

In that case un-installing XNA 4.0 in Settings / Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs and downloading and installing XNA 3.1 should do the trick !

Not un-installing XNA 4.0 should also work, having 6 versions of M$.NET Framework, co-existing happily with each other.

Yeah I reinstalled it and ORTS works fine. It's just 4.0 came with Win7 Ultimate which I got after Win7 Pro contracted some serious errors leading to a hard drive crash.

On that subject it is a good idea to make the WIN O/S Logical Drive system partition just large enough for what it may need, leaving other Logical Disk Partitions untouched in the case of an O/S crash, unless WIN has also screwed up the Partitions MBR , the MFT and FAT data stored on them !

No, a program can only work with 3.1 or 4.0. We can't work with both since they're not compatible.
