I have the same problem on the PRR North East Corridor route. Have not figured it out but hope someone smart can help out

[joe_star]

This usually happens when running crowded tiles on underpowered machines

One hint is to check how much ram you have, 8 GB for the system would be minimum imo

Has anyone considered posting an OR log file so we can see what it says?

[Captain Tom]

Will post my OR log within 24 hours and hope it helps (too much to do today).

Thanks

G'day, I use a low end PC and have found that shadows seem to use a lot of computing power. If you go to "Options" then the 3rd tab from the left (VIDEO) and untick "dynamic shadows" and "shadows for all shapes" you will get better frame rates and the tracks should appear. This is assuming you have installed any required track packs.
Hope all goes well for you.
Regards
Barrie

There are many reason behind this problem.
May be Shapes are missing from Global folders..
Please post more details regarding this problem with screenshots and mention your PC configuration also.

Just attach the OpenRailsLog.txt file to your post.
It contains ALL the details . . . nothing else will do. Are you listening?

...... Are you listening?

Well, "listening" isn't going to be of much use.
"Reading" - now that's a whole different matter.

"Reading" - now that's a whole different matter.

...and may I add "Comprehension" to that Reading.

So sorry, this week I've been totally overloaded with work. Promise an OR log will be forthcoming this weekend. I've begun to understand the information in the log and have corrected some issues (i.e., sound and some shapes, both of which I've pulled from my old MSTS app) but that hasn't fixed the missing track.

[Captain Tom]

So sorry - I ran the same route (the wonderful, massive NEC route going west from Altoona past Horseshoe Curve) this morning and lo and behold the track and scenery were all there - not like the last time I ran that route. I've made no modifications at all! Checked the OR log and nothing was out of place other than a bunch of engine sounds that I have not had time to track down and install.

I'll chalk this one up to the vagaries of programming.

Thanks for your willingness to help a newbie!!!

Captain,

Are you running the old PRR or the new PRR East v2?
Reason I ask is because the entire Altoona area has been completely redone except the tracks west of Altoona and up to the Curve were not touched, just scenery tweaks, floating vegetation fixes ect. nothing major.

The NEC part of the PRR (NY to Washington) has been redone, speed limits, sounds ect and Philly completely rebuilt. About 9 tiles redone . . . everything all broken dynamic tracks removed.

regards,
