ORTS closing on certain locomotives

[trainbot1]

Hi! I just got ORTS, and I ported over my msts stuff from my external hard drive, and once it was done I went to go play, now I just found the problem that you can only play the default locomotives with the default routes, if you choose any other, the game will appear to load for about 5 sec, and suddenly close, I'm guessing its the same as msts, because you have to reinstall it away from program files? But I'm not sure, any suggestions?

Thanks!

Are the routes "stand alone" or do they depend on the main sim for many of their files ? Do the locos have aliases to the main Sim trainset Common sound or aliases to cabs etc. ?

I'm not sure, it seems to be something with the addon content, because all of the default stock runs fine, it's only when I try to use addon stuff such as the lsrc and a rock island u33c, etc, again it's only the default content that's Not giving me problems

What does your ORTS error log tell you?

[trainbot1]

Haven't checked, I'll get it when I'm home

OpenRailsLog.txt

here ya go

UPDATE: now it is doing it with all locomotives, including default stock

From the log: C:\Program Files (x86)\Open Rails\ROUTES\USA2\PATHS\morning intermodal (traffic).pat

Two questions - I am not sure of the answer to either, but one of them might be the root of your problem.

If this traffic path is not checked for use by player, will it run?
Also is Program Files (x86) a good location for Open Rails?

Also log shows that the Sound Process has hung...all sounds present for operation of equipment?
The consist "school proj 3.con" - is all the equipment listed for that consist available in the trainset folder?

[trainbot1]

just checked, there is no folder named PATHS, how would i resolve this?

EDIT: i will reinstall it under an new path, just incase thats part of it

[trainbot1]

ok, reinstalled it under a new path, and i got a rock island e8 a to run, but once i exited, it started to not work again

Move the whole lot outside of the Program Files area. That should help

[trainbot1]

Reinstalled, now I just have to delete the open rails in program files and should be fine

EDIT: still doing the same thing...

EDIT2: ok, it's running fine now, it's only on Marias pass, hmm, I must have something wrong?

If it's doing this on all locomotives for a route, then the route itself is messed up.

My guess is that you may not have backed up all of the folders or copied over all of the folders correctly from your hard drive. Lack of paths will indeed cause a failure to load.

[trainbot1]

I have the Illinois central route, and I tested it this morning, it worked completely fine, but when I tried Marias pass, it gave me trouble, I am sure I copied it over right, because I literally copied all the folders needed to mimic the msts install, so ROUTES, SOUND, TRAINS, and GLOBAL, so I'm sure I got it right, but I may be wrong, all that matters is it works, I just need some more U.S. routes

Thanks!

ORTS is coded to run there, so this should not be the problem. In fact, the "easy installer" installs to Program Files folders by default.

The only thing I can imagine could be problematic is Program Files folders on Win10 - who knows what´s different on the new OS WRT UAC.
