    Hi Tim,

    Personally - I keep my ORTS out of the “Program Files” directory as there is no reason to put it there but I don’t think that is causing your issue...

    The automatic updater still seems to hang occasionally - you could try two things that work for me:

    Change back to the “Stable” version such will cause a fresh download - then back to “Unstable” - which will cause another download and will usually fix the updater...

    The other alternative is simply download a fresh copy and reinstall ORTS - it only takes a minute and usually fixes the updater as well...

    Regards,
    Scott

      Tim,

      The Programs and Programs(86) folders are "protected" by windows for security purposes.
      It's best to put orts/msts stuff in another location. Ie F:/trainstuff, C:/msts, C:/trains/1msts etc.
      You can put it anywhere as long is it's not in any folder named programs.

              Anytime an update bombs, you pretty much need a fresh install of the app. You cannot relocate a bombed update and expect it to still work.

              That said, your error is unreadable. Something in the PNG to JPG conversion or something in the attachment via these forums makes your message this tiny on my 1920 x 1280

                Thanks Geepster,
                Might you be able to tell me where I can go and get a new version to install, and get rid of the one that I have ?
                Thanks

                  OR monogame is here http://www.interazioni-educative.it/...NewYear_MG.zip
                  OR latest experimental is here https://james-ross.co.uk/projects/or/builds

                  There is plenty of information here and at Elvas Tower to help you get ReShade installed and running.
