x1394 Two Problems.

[neyland]

The Distant semaphore signals on the Thames - Trent route (ukts freeware). Seem to be acting as control signals, most of them are in the "on" position (caution). Even when the next Home (stop) signal is in the "off" position (clear).

They should not be doing this as they were not designed to operate in this way and should only be in the "on" position, if the next Home signal is in the "on" (stop) position.

Also i tried to resume a run a few mins ago ( the original activity was started using v x1394 ). But it fails to run at all.

LogFile attached.

The Resume option tends to get corrupted for some reason. I can usually save about 20 times and then it wont work anymore, and I get the gray screen of death after the activity loads.

One save, one attempt to resume.

OR should be disabling the Resume option if the version which attempts the Resume is different from the one that made the save. In your case, save was made by 1394 and resume attempted by 1404.

Is that what is happening here?

First time I have heard of this behaviour.

Can you try it for me in a way which I can repeat? For example, on Hisatsu:Short Passenger Run during the first few minutes of travel. Or perhaps it only happens on large routes with busy activities?

Any clues would be helpful,

Thanks,

Here's what I usually do. I run my created route in explore mode with a consist of about 500 cars. I know sounds crazy! I send them to about three different yards. Once I have the huge consist broken down I can start running trains back and forth between the yards. At about this time is when the saves begin failing on me. It happens somewhere between the 20th and 40th save. I even cut down my consist to about 450 with only 4 locomotives and the resume began failing on me by my 18th save.

No guys, same version created the save, as the version i tried to resume from.

Plus of course there is the big problem with the Distant signals.

Hi Milw2042,

"It happens somewhere between the 20th and 40th save" suggests that there is some sort of corruption which gradually spreads until it becomes critical.

Would you be able to make a save and, without doing anything else, resume and make a second save. Apart from the time, the two saves should be identical. If not, that would suggest whereabouts the problem lies.

Would you mind reporting this bug on our Bug Tracker at http://launchpad.net/or and attaching the 2 save files?

Thanks,

I will. I may have to start again because I changed my consist around thinking I was done with that activity for now. I should have something within a week.


It did list these errors however-
