    ORTS Freezing

    I have a small problem with this program. It loads fine, with either menu style I chose. All routes and activities load up and seem to be fine. Everything fine in RouteRiter etc. It just locks up after about 5 to 10 minutes of use every time. I'm running windows 7/64 on a 2.5hz quad core PC with 4GB and a 9800GT GPU. I really like the look and feel of ORTS, I just wish I could get it to work properly. I don't have a "start-up log" file at the moment, but will save one next time I run it if needed. Thanks in advance.

    The log file is critical to assist you with your problem. The log file is overwritten each time you start up the game. So the last time you ran OR is still there.

        I assume that MSTS runs ok?


        It sounds like your machine is overheating, can you check the temperature when it crashes?


        Cheers

          MSTS runs fine. CPU temp runs 56c on average. A little dusty in there so maybe a good cleaning is in order. I'll check it again next time. Thanks.

            In the future, you can zip up the log file and attach it to a post, so you don't need to copy and paste all that text.

              My machine runs at 36C, so I think a clean is in order.
              Having said that, what is the cpu?

                  56C won't hurt that CPU, but blow the dust out and see how it goes.
                  What is the temp over there?

                      Would you mind attaching the following files?

                      C:\MSTS\trains\trainset\SLI.BNSF\CABVIEW\BNSF-DASH9.cvf:line 232

                      C:\MSTS\trains\trainset\BNSF_ES44AC_7645\CABVIEW\B NSF-ES44S.cvf:line 232

                      These cvf files are not being correctly parsed. This seems to cause a problem for OR when the models appear as AI trains.

                        The Port Ogden-11 also has a problem with the DASH9.CVF in ORTS, used by traffic in it's activities, but uses it's own CABVIEW folder and not a linked to one.

                          cabview(s)

                          Thanks, ORTS has never liked these cabviews for some reason. Probably my own fault.

                            Ok, the issue is the Combined Throttle control and the mismatch between the number of frames and values for each position. This has been an on-going compatibility effort with SLI's coding of ENG and CVF files which are not MSTS standard.

                            NumFrames ( 18 6 3 )
                            NumPositions ( 10 1056964608 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 )
                            NumValues ( 10 0 0.0625 0.125 0.1875 0.25 0.3125 0.375 0.4375 0.5 0.5125 )

                            Would you mind posting what the ENG file has for the # of throttle positions for either of these locomotives?

                            I will post a fix in the very near future.

                              Is this what you want? These are both the same. The only edits I've ever made in eng files are cabview and sounds is on models from the f/l here. I think the ones in question are stock.

                              EngineControllers (
                              Throttle ( 0 1 0.125 0
                              NumNotches ( 9
                              Notch ( 0 0 Dummy )
                              Notch ( 0.125 0 Dummy )
                              Notch ( 0.25 0 Dummy )
                              Notch ( 0.375 0 Dummy )
                              Notch ( 0.5 0 Dummy )
                              Notch ( 0.625 0 Dummy )
                              Notch ( 0.75 0 Dummy )
                              Notch ( 0.875 0 Dummy )
                              Notch ( 1 0 Dummy )

                              Thanks again for your help.
