Difference between OR and OR_NewYear_MG?

[csantucci]

Dave,
in the meantime I suggest you to download the latest revision, that is Rev. 57, whose link can be found here http://www.interazioni-educative.it/Downloads/index.php .
Your problem should persist also with such revision of course; it might be that you need some MS update.
First of all: do you have Win7 Service Pack 1 installed?
Moreover you need .Net 4.7.2 and DirectX 9.
You can look here for clarifications about .Net 4.7.2

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/versions-and-dependencies

Once that .Net 4.7.2 has been downloaded and installed, there should be a message at OR startup in case you need also to download DirectX 9.

<< Done, changed it...>>

<<Yes, im on SP2 currently>>

Moreover you need .Net 4.7.2 and DirectX 9.

<<I am on DirectX 9.0c>>

<NET 4.7.2 was already added on SP2 back then..>>

Once that .Net 4.7.2 has been downloaded and installed, there should be a message at OR startup in case you need also to download DirectX 9.

Still gets me an Activity Runner error... Went back to the regular version of OR, its still fine... Kinda odd..... Look at my responses on << >> above please..

Hi Dave,
this becomes difficult. I am running OR NewYear MG on my 9-year old laptop with Win7 32 bit with no problems.
Do you get OpenRailsLog.txt on your desktop, or do you get the crash just after pressing the Start button? In the first case, could you attach that logfile?

Hey,

It just crashed when I hit Start and it does not create a logfile. It only creates a logfile only for my OR Standard (4328)

I am still baffled on this, but its okay, I still can use the Standard, it runs just fine... I will try out on a "native" verson on my other PC as a test bed (clean wipe and such) and find out from there... Gotta go back to my closet again....lol (have 4 of them...lol) If you want my logfile for the 4328, just holler ill be happy to resend..

Thanks. It appears therefore that in need "Ultimate" which will give me RailDriver support plus the other enhance features. Where do I find this?

Hi David,
I just looked at the Ultimate version. Its last update dates January 30rd, 2020. Anyhow, if you are interested, you find it here https://github.com/perpetualKid/ORTS.../144-d77821976 .

Sorry for that. What I'd like you to test is to check whether the official Unstable version has the same problem there (I suppose yes).

Hi Carlos,

I am running v57 of MG, but the runactivity that is spawned is runactivity32.exe.
Is that by design, as I thought the MG was all 64bit?

[csantucci]

Hi Derek,
this depends from the state of General Option "Run at 32 bit on Win64".
