    Un Coupling problem?

    Hi,
    I wonder if anyone has had this problem, I have the latest update of Open Rails.
    Here is the problem, anythime that I make up a consist and go into a yard to switch cars around, as soon as I try to un couple any of the cars I get a white screen and have to hit escape to end the game, but if I do an activity that someone has made there is no problem and it works just fine.
    I have tried different engines and cars, in my make up own consists and still the same problem?
    Any Ideas or am I doing something wrong ?
    Thanks
    Tim

    I'm having the same issue in an activity, but only if I try to re-couple to cars I've uncoupled from. Immediate dump.

    Was going to try a few other iterations before reporting the bug...

      The "Explore" mode is still under construction, it isn't quite as tested and refined as the activity modes yet. You should be seeing some changes to it coming through...

        Just a reminder folks: Please mention what version of OR you are using whenever you have a question about something not being quite right. Thanks.

            This happens to me now using the newest version of OR. Uncouple anything and the game quits. %#@$!

              Which newest version? The general release or the current X-file, 1413?
              And are you referring to Explore mode, or an Activity, because I have had absolutely no problems in an Activity?

              As the man stated above - Explore mode is still being worked on.

                      Uncoupling has worked just fine with the latest official releases as well as the experimental builds. Sounds like you're having a problem specific to your setup.

                        Well, then there are a few of us having it. But, as I said, uncoupling isn't the problem for me. It's re-coupling... using 0.0.4775.13624

                          Fire up OR in Explore, choose a consist and then see if you can uncouple without greyscreening.
                          If so, see if you can recouple successfully.

                          I can't uncouple a consist in Explore in X1413 (the last X that I downloaded).

                          Works perfectly okay in ORv0.8.

                            In Explore in the X-file?
                            You sure?
