    OR Just keeps crashing?

    Hi, this year I got Open rails/MSTS Melbourne routes and trains running until recently it has stopped working OR does start but when I click the start button it just goes to a black screen and kinda freezes up my PC and I have to restart my PC if I want to use it, it is really weird, I tried reinstalling OR but it just did not work, this started when I tried to install the keeping line, at first, it was kinda working, the platforms were invisible, I realised I needed Tramtracks, and later after I installed it, this happened, I am veru frustrated and annoyed by this, so If someone could help I would acknowledge that, it also doesn't give me a error message.

    Does it generate a log file? If it does, that would probably tell you what happened

        Lets start with some information.

        What version of OR?
        What are your hardware specs?
        What is the install location of the routes?

                Are you sure? It will be a file named OpenRailsLog.txt and it will be stored on your Windows Desktop. If you have EVER run OR successfully, there will be one because OR just overwrites the previous each time. You said you had been running so OR had to have at least created a log file once

                  To obtain the Open Rails Log Logging must be checked on the OR Main screen.

                      >this started when I tried to install the keeping line
                      >And I install my routes on This PC > Windows (C > Program Files (x86) > Microsoft Games > Train Simulator > ROUTES

                      OK, from the top,
                      Your troubles started with a botched route install and your install location is known to cause trouble.

                      You will need to uninstall MSTS and delete ALL files associated with MSTS and OR, then start here:-

                      Discover vintage trams, MSTS modeling tips, top steam train photography spots, and Australia's steam train history


                      The install is valid for win10 as well.
                      Once MSTS is installed, install OR and test.

                      Backup all files.

                      Then install your addon routes and test.

                        Thanks for getting back to me. I thought it was quite a big issue but I will try your tips and get back to you.

                          Ok, MSTS Is working but when you say "your install location is known to cause trouble" do you mean by my old MSTS Install location? Or my routes install location? I just want to know, thanks for the help here as well.

                              Install location and routes install location are the same thing.
                              Yes I meant your old location.

                              Did you install as per steam4me?.
