Looking for the stable version download

An integrated video chip such as you have cannot be upgraded, Geeks are correct in that. However, provided you have a vacant PCIe slot you can add a separate card. You might have to make a change in the bios for it to work. As for what to buy, makes sense to look for an Nvidia based card. I have been using an EVGA GTX650Ti for a while now with no problems.

If you don't have a PCIe slot, a PCI will do, but performance will not be as good, and PCI cards are getting quite rare these days.

OR really does generate heat! I have an Antec case with super airflow, and OR is the only program I run that causes audible increase in fan speed. I am getting over 300 fps on many routes with a stock I7 4770, so it really does crank the heat up! It might be useful to have a frame cap of say 125-150, for those that have heat issues??

I can get those crazy FPS as well, but I now have mine capped to the monitor refresh rate of 60 which is where it stays for most of the time. I get occasional dips to 57, and in parts of the Monon down to 38, but it is smooth running apart from tile loads, and does not cause any overheat problems. I have mine in a Zalman case.

How do you cap it? It set the frame rate on the menu to 70 but I still get the huge frame rates?

Capping FPS to the monitor refresh rate can usually be done via (application-specific or general) settings in the graphic card driver´s control panel. How exactly depends on manufacturer etc.

I use the Nvidia Control panel. It is the last setting on the list. Add runactivitylaa.exe to the game list then go change the setting to Use the 3D application setting. I have 60 in the OR options as that matches the monitor refresh rate.

I would hope OR could handle this much payware.

EDIT: I did look at the OR threads about Rollins pass. Unless there's more, (Only 7 listed) the main thread listed was about problems running from Glenwood Springs & Grand Junction to Denver.

There are posts and screenshots of folks running upwards of 30 traffic trains and full yards, appears OR can handle quite a lot. The limits appears to be reached with graphics cards, laptops, and the idiosyncrasies the the MSTS RE.

From your edit I don't think the route problem enters into it.

Good luck, keep trying, you will not regret using Open Rails.
