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.

First, thanks for posting an explicit error report..this is what is needed. Now..look at post #23..item f). What version of windows are you using? Some versions of windows may not have the file in question. If you have not noticed, the error you are getting is caused by a missing file called "d3dcompiler_47.dll". This file is NOT re-distributed with the Monogame version of ORTS. So you will have to track it down.

This might help you:

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?

In post #23, item b) I said..super-duper laptop.. I think that means an i7 with a more recent GPU! But for a start, I would disable dynamic shadows and see if that makes a difference. Post #23 mentions a few caveats that may hinder the performance you want. In my case, I have never used ORTS (XNA or Monogame) on a laptop, only on a much more powerful desktop (i7 & Nvidia 1080ti).

And as with the XNA version, you get better results on an SSD rather than a spinning drive ...

David,

This is not really what I meant, yes of course an SSD helps with loading speed, but the OOM is caused by loading shapes/textures that are in excess of what the 32 bit program can handle. This is very evident when your activity is on a single tile (switching activity) and you have A LOT of DIFFERENT consists/rolling stock passing through. The Monogame version appears to be better at using far less memory, meaning that an out of memory error (OOM) will occur less frequently.

Yes, I see that. In post #41 Haverfordwest put the link to the post #23 in there, and it works, when I just tried it.

Got an error which caused OR to crash...MG X4222, I have ReShade_Setup_3.4.1.exe installed, which has been working in other versions of monogame with no problems.

Complete Log here ( and does anyone know for sure if I have to repair the NET framework performance counters? I looked at the instructions at MS...geeze, maybe beyond my pay grade, or at least willingness to learn how to...do they really expect common users to do this?

Ignore problem...I found it, I had accidentally copied an entire Content folder from another MG version, now I know you cannot do that.

Although, I would appreciate an answer about the necessity of repairing the NET framework performance counters.

I did find some reshade profiles for TS 2018, I plugged one in for MG ver 4222, it looks pretty good. I know people where saying that they couldn't find profiles for OpenRails, try some of the profiles for the other train sims, you might be surprised.

Hi,

I wonder why I'm seeing intense flickering of shapes and jagged lines in OR v4273. Interestingly, the shapes do not flicker and lines appear smoother in OR Monogame. I adjusted the settings in Nvidia Inspector to try to stop the flickering and smooth the jagged lines, but that didn't fix these issues.

[bwbrgb]

Is the problem on all routes or just some of them ?

I tried this tonight & it actually made ORTS look better.

Hi Bwbrgb,

I only have one route installed. That is a route project. I may install other routes to check if the flashing textures and jagged lines also occur on those routes in OR.

Anyone can share the latest version of Openrails monogame I am not getting the link

[longiron]

A new unofficial release of OR Monogame is available.

The download link is http://www.interazioni-educative.it/...NewYear_MG.zip
Also the related dev kit is available at http://www.interazioni-educative.it/..._MG_DevKit.zip.

This release is based on the standard OR x.4334, plus the adaptations to Monogame, plus:
- addition of track sounds in the sound debug window
- change of the font family and dimension for the digital displays in 2D cabs
- new trainspotter camera, started with Shift-4, which places itself at railroad crossings and platforms, if present
- F5 HUD scrolling
- management of up to 4 pantographs
- management of location events triggered by AI trains
- correction of calculation of station stops in a specific case.

Right now I have Open Rails X1.3.1.25-g39999d40 program in my desktop and would like to try with OR Monogame on my desktop. My question is that should I install the Open Rails Monogame first then uninstall the other with Open Rails X1.3.1.25-g39999d40. Or leave this and move over to another drive. In case I don't like Open Rails Monogame program.
