ORTS and Banana Junior 6000

[drelyea]

Hi,

I've posted this at Elvas Tower, and only saw a suggestion, not a reply.

Since X2778, I have been unable to get ORTS to open into the game. First is the ORTS log showing 2778 does open.
OpenRailsLog2778.txt

This is as far as anything after 2778 gets.
OpenRailsLogX2811.txt

This is after a CTD. The menu reappears, and I have a Microsoft Error Report Screen. A second attempt to start from the ORTS Menu is as fruitless as the first.

Finally, I'm wondering if I've turned off some service that needs to be on? This is what's running with the exception of Snapshot.exe which was used to get the screengrab, and firefox.exe. which tells me I was on the Internet when I took the grab.

So what does the Microsoft error log show?. What is showing as being the faulting module?.

Hi,

Here's a grab of the Error Signature, and the tailend of the report.

What happens when you turn off logging?

Hi,

Same CTD, at roughly the same time, only no report.

I had a similar issue going from build 27xx to X2795..turned out to be some settings under "options" . (I ran it on a 2GHz processor with 2gigs of ram) under Win 7. Moved to a stouter computer and the problem ended...Try the settings in my screenie below and see if that allows ORTS to start...You DO have XNA installed? (I know..silly question, but you would be surprised.)

Hi Frank,

Thanks, I'll try that. The XNA question is not unreasonable, yes it is installed.

Hi,

Adjusting the settings to those you have Frank didn't work. Still CTD after about 1 second.

Doug, Have you tried X2795 with the above settings or are you still running an earlier version? Have you added your ORTS executables to your Anti-virus exclude list?....I had to do that with mine..I run Zone-Alarm and it would shut Orts down without any notice..

[drelyea]

Hi Frank,

I appear to have missed X2795. My X set goes from X2778 which did work, to X2811 which is the first that has not. X2822 and X2843 also do not work, ending with the same CTD.

Have you tried reinstalling your build of ORTS? I'm just guessing at this point

The error CLR20r3 seems to suggest a problem with .NET

Banana Junior 6000 apprears to be some sort of computer, running a minimum of Services, using what version of Windows ?

Could be that ORTS is now using one your computer does not run ?

Have you installed X.2846 yet ?

[drelyea]

Hi,

Thanks Baldwin. I'll see what Windows thinks I need for this machine.

The Banana Junior 6000 is from the Comic Strip Bloom County. Only two were made, and it was orphaned by it's manufacturer. More details can be found thru Google.

The real one is a Small Shop put-together from components, running XP SP3. Bizarrely enough, the shop closed 6 months after I bought it, but in this case I think the owners retired. It was without Warranty, as XP was no longer supported by Windows. I convinced them to let me have it for $100 US, and that I accepted that it was without warranty. (and to think of all the money I spent on other XP machines)

And yes, sometimes I do think this one has some sentinence

Asus MOBO with a Pentium E2160 @ 1.8 GHz. 2 GB Ram (board Max), a 150 GB Harddrive as C, a 240 GB Harddrive as E. (It came with a 3.5 floppy of all things) AMD Radeon HD4350 with 1 GB on it. XP Pro SP3 for the OS.

Yes, after some thought I decided I might have turned off a service ORTS now needs, which was why I included the screengrab of what is running.

Download and instal X.2846 and running it will create its log.

Post it here so that we can look at it !
