My initial OR start up problems.

OR glitch 1.jpg

I thought I followed the V.645 documentation correctly. I went down thru the requirements and put in what was missing (can't find anything re: shader 2.0?). I followed the RailDriver installation. 1msts directory is on C drive. OR directory is separate from, and on C drive. RailDriver Calibration directory is on C drive.

I get different variations on the depicted error boxes depending on what route I choose. I have not tried any activities, just "explore route". I tried all original MSTS routes along with most others, no luck getting beyond the error box.

Any suggestions?

Please zip up and attach the Open Rails log file that you can find on your desktop. A screen grab really doesn't help us diagnose what's going on.

Please switch menu style and start OR once from the "classic" menu; then you can switch back and it'll work fine from the "new" menu.

Edit: This is a known issue that has since been fixed.

Thanks. I will try that, meanwhile, here is the OR log.

I got it to work by switching menus, I like it! It is real nice to have my RailDriver back- a big thank you! There are some routes that won't load or not load under certain conditions, i.e. rain, and I can't get the cab, head out the window view to work either from RD or the keyboard. These are not complaints! You guys are on to something big here, great job, this is very exciting! Best I can do is to compile a list if that helps you out, unless you can tell by the desktop log.

A more powerful computer is out of the question, so should my next upgrade be to max out the ram (currently 6GB), or graghics card? Do you know if the ATI HD5750 1GB PCI express card is compatible with OR?

Kudos to all the developers!
