Open Rails Performance Question in Windows 10

[bsnare17]

Hello fellow Open Rails fans, I've got a performance question relating to Open Rails. This past Christmas, I received a new laptop. Right after I received it, I installed Open Rails and a number of payware addons. At that point, I could run SLI's BNSF Seligman Sub with activities at 30FPS in 1080p. A little while later I installed another video game and stopped playing Open Rails for a while. About a month ago, I decided to start playing Open Rails again. When I started up the game and fired up an activity on the Seligman Sub, the game would barely run. I uninstalled the other video game and all it's addons, deleted them, and also uninstalled some other software. My computer is an 900GB model and I have about 820GB free. The game runs a little better now, but whenever I meet a train, the game either slows down severely or crashes entirely. I've run a number of scans, and while they have been successful. they have not improved performance. My system specs are listed below. Any help is greatly appreciated.

In many of the threads dealing with similar performance questions, the answer most often is the video card.
Definitely not an expert in laptops or pads, so you should check out the other threads on video cards in OR.

It might be better to provide a log from Open Rails where it runs slow, and/or crashes. Just zip it and attach to a post in this thread.

[bsnare17]

Well here is my log. In the meantime, I will read through some of threads you mentioned.

ORTS Log.zip

[R. Steele]

Sound process has hung...no warnings or errors in log concerning sounds.
Log shows two sound options:
Sound = Bluetooth Hands-free Audio (btwaudio 12.0.1.715)
Sound = AMD High Definition Audio Device (atihdwt6 10.0.0.1)

Could the laptop be using the bluetooth for OR?

[bsnare17]

I just turned Bluetooth off, but that did not seem to help. The problem occurs most often when I'm driving a freight train and I meet another freight train. I was just running a BNSF Seligman 2 activity, The Full Turn part 2, and I was running at 30-40FPS, then I met a train and the game crashed. I'll attach the log. It just seems very odd to me.

If there's a strange audio driver conflict going on, try disabling Bluetooth in Windows, then run OR again. If it runs OK when it doesn't see the Bluetooth audio, then at least you'll know where the problem is coming from.

[bsnare17]

This seems to be where the problem is occurring, according to the log. This was was on the SLI BNSF Seligman 2. I have not changed any of the files in installation of this route. Should I reinstall the route?
