Open Rails suddenly freezes up on my new computer in win8 anyone have this problem.

[highdesertdave]

I bought a new Dell 8700 computer last Nov. with a 23'' monitor and Win8 and have been enjoying running in OR much better and less problems than MSTS.

But I have one problem with it, it just suddenly freezes up and the only thing I can do is shut down the computer.Nothing seems to unfreeze it.

Anybody running in Win8 have this problem and if so have you found a fix for it. I'm running it in 1024x768x32 and volume wide open.

Any ideas, Anybody.

Also, most computer "freezes" where the computer locks up are usually caused by hardware issues, especially overheating or power supply issues. You might consider cleaning out your case if you've had the computer for a while. I know I've had CPU coolers pack themselves with dust and cause overheating.

Also check to see if your computer can handle the Activity.I built an Activity for Surfliner 2 with a lot of AI and static consists and am running into the same problems.Check your frame rates.If they are low,you may need to lower your video under the Options.You may be running[like me]an underpowered computer that cant handle all of the graphics.

Version 9.0, as for the log file I'm not versed in how to use it.

Go here:

http://www.openrails.org/release.html

Then download the latest experimental release near the bottom.

This should put a log file in the same folder that you have OR.
