      I run ORTS on my ASUS laptop with Intel Core I5-7200u and NVIDIA GEFORCE 940mx. When I try to run the Monogame version, I get extremely low FPS. Am I missing something or?

        Did you install it in it's own directory not in the OR directory ? It is a different program that only uses the content from your OR install .

          I have the exact same issue, it is in it's own directory. I am on a laptop though, granted a somewhat decent one. Not sure what he is using. I'm on a HP Envy 17.

                Shrey,

                Instead of trying to diagnose your install let's start over.
                Go to Microsoft and download XNA 3.1 and Dotnet 3.5.
                Install both using the default settings.
                I know that ORTS Monogame isn't supposed to need XNA but I recently did a clean Windows install and when I tried to start ORTS_MG I got an error stating I needed XNA, for what ever reason.
                When you are finished with installing XNA and Dotnet you need to create a folder, anywhere but in the Programs folder. I have a secondary 80 Gig SSD that's my G drive so I created my folder in it, ie G:\OR4222_MG to distinguish it from other OR installs I have.
                If you hanen't already done it go here and download the latest OpenRails Monogame version 4220.
                Once you have the downloaded zip extract the contents to the folder that you created. It's the only thing that goes in the folder.
                Now you open that folder and click on Openrails.exe.

                That's all there is.
                Randy

                  Or course when you've reached this point you'll need to go into the OR options/content and tell it where your MSTS/OR content is located.
                  If everything's good you might want to go here and download and install Reshade. Start with post #16, it'll walk you through it. It can be mildly confusing so take your time, it's not difficult.
                  Scott provides a Reshade profile in post 23 that I've been using. I think it looks good. Thanks Scott.

                  Have fun.

                    I'm so lost because I have no idea why it's trying to grab stuff from D drive. I downloaded the same mono version that everyone else did and they aren't having problems.

                    Edit: Since this doesn't want to post a clear screenshot here is a link to it in google drive

                      Randy, I am having trouble finding Scotts post #23 you keep referring to in any display mode I try, in Linear mode Steve (eldoradorailroad) is post#23 and no reshade profile. Can you be more specific, please. Gerry
                      Cheers, Gerry

                              No opinion yet about the actual visual effects, gamma, contrast, apparent sharpness (mask effects), color saturation, but getting some unusual screen blanking, completely white, then it redraws, partial black- then redraws, no actual crashes. Pressing shft+F5 gets the permission denied "guy" ...that's strange. It happens with one of Scotts ini files, but not the other ( I have two that I found two, see screenshot, plus a third ReShade.ini, that does not appear in the drop down menu...working on how to locate that now.

                              Altogether, looks interesting, I think switching to monogame and people making some sets of shader ini files would add much to OR.
                              Monogame version have always hung on the sound a little longer than the regular version when quitting the game, and some other issues with jerkiness in the 3Dcabs, but I'm sure that will all be worked out as more people start using the monogame versions.

                              Not being a experienced gamer like all you others, this is interesting new stuff to me. Okay back to running the trains.
                              Thanks, Gerry
