CTD when using open rails

[oskiatl]

I got the updated version, but one of the links kept saying error 404! I'm still getting the same ctd response. It's saying something about an Arial font.

Posting the actual error message removes 99% of the guesswork.

I posted the error txt in the original post! I'm away from my computer right now, but I got the same error txt. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice same results.

I think that Baldwin means the full 404 error message text you got when trying one of the download links, not saying which of the 2 caused it !

Sorry oskiatl, I missed the embedded link, it does not stand out from the surrounding text very well. Having looked at it, the only thing I can see is that you have set Use MSTS environments. Far as I can recall this is not working very well right now. Uncheck that option and try again.

Okay, Baldwin, I will uncheck MSTS environments, and post the results when I get home. Thanks for all for your guys help!!

i unchecked the msts environment, same results.

OK, that has eliminated one possibility. Time for another head scratch.

Hi Omar !

Re-reading this entire thread I can not see you mentioning that this activity runs O.K. in MSTS.

Does it ?

Hi Omar !

You know you are right, I have all of the equipment and when I run the activity in MSTS I can get to Newark, then I get a red light for no reason, then if I reload the activity and run it again the light is green. Then when I leave Newark I get a couple of miles then here comes the CTD! I can't figure out what it is. I'm using the Tiger Trains ACS-64, but I don't think that's the problem. It happens quite often lately with MSTS. It's actually getting frustrating because I have been trying for over a week to run activities, they'll run for a minute the CTD. I've downloaded several activities for NEC V4 and all of them end with CTD. I have all the necessary equipment, only thing I changed was the player locomotive from the AEM-7 to the ACS-64. I hope I don't have to reinstall MSTS!

More questions.

What are your computer's specs, you can view and take a screen print of after running Start / Run dxdiag.

Also, have you got MSTSBin installed ?

[oskiatl]

I have MSTSBIN installed, Im just going to do a reinstall of MSTS, and see if that solves the problem.

Im missing the arial font, can anyone tell me where I can find it? Many thanks for you guys help.

[baldwin]

Arial is a standard windows font and should be in your Windows/Fonts folder. For MSTS the various arial fonts used are also installed in the MSTS Fonts folder as ace files. Open rails does not have a Fonts folder so is using either the windows or the MSTS fonts folders.

[oskiatl]

Okay I'm going to check those folders! Thank you!!
