I have been having a problem with the last two versions of Open Rails MG. The program crashes to the desk top and I get an error message, the error message is at the bottom part of enclosed log file. Some routes will load and run just fine.
I noticed this in your Log: Menu_Selection = (user set) C:\Users\MARK\Desktop\Cripple Creek, C:\Users\MARK\Desktop\Cripple Creek\ROUTES\C&S_NG-CM_SG-2019-1, C:\Users\MARK\Desktop\Cripple Creek\ROUTES\C&S_NG-CM_SG-2019-1\ACTIVITIES\C&S Leadville Como Morning Mail.act, , , , , ,
The Users folder is protected by Windows Security just like Program Files and Program Files (86). Recommend you install your train sim Install into a folder outside of USERS. NOTE: I do not recommend "moving" the install as that probably will not move the files Windows Security has hidden, so you will continue getting errors.
That`s what I was wondering myself. I have that and another route in a folder on the desk top, sort of like a mini route. My main install is C:/msts, I was trying an experiment to set up regional mini routes. Could I set these up in C:/ and point Open Rails to that instead?

Move the Global, Sound, Routes and Trains folders to somewhere that's not in a Windows folder.
Also helps to put an empty text file named trains.exe in there. It'll keep some programs from burping.
C drive is fine if that's all you got. Something like C:/Trains or D:/ MSTS, doesn't matter.
Also move your MSTS, ORTS, TSRE specific tools to a similar folder, not the same folder as your MSTS files. C:/Tools would work. Some people like to put a 1 in front of the folder names so they will filter to the top of the explorer list. C:/1_MSTS. It's up to you.
This will save your MSTS program structure so other programs like ShapeViewer, Route_Riter, MSTS specific programs, can use the Registry entries to install and configure.
Point your ORTS/TSRE install to your the MSTS folder you just created and go.
I tried that with no luck. As per what Randy recommended I set up a folder with this route in C drive and pointed Open Rails to it and I tried a couple activities but still no luck. My main MSTS install is also in C drive and I have this route in there as well and it crashes there also. I also tried a couple other routes in C:/1MSTS and I was able to load several activities with no problem with one route but another route crashed and I got the same error message. Right now MG 61.4 works fine so I can still run trains
Thanks Mark. Your indication that MG 61.4 is OK was useful, and having a closer look at the first logfile, I believe I have found the new feature causing your problem. I asked the developer of such feature to have a look.
Hello! That would be me, author of the recent fading signals patch.
The crash happens because the signal glow effect parameter of the SceneryShader is, for some reason, null. Your folder structure has nothing to do with it. I do not know why this would happen on some routes, but not others. Here is the relevant line of code:
Hi Ryan, The other routes I tried this morning were Birmingham 2 and the most recent version of LaSalle. The Birmingham acts I tried worked fine but the La Salle acts all crashed. The Leadville Morning Mail act I have been having trouble with did load on one try, but only once out of about ten or so trys. I also tried some of the included acts and had similar problems.
MARK

Reason: fixed grammer
Can I have links to the activities you're using? My C&S route doesn't have a Leadville Morning Mail activity, and my LaSalle route doesn't include any activities.
If you have a speedy connection, a Google Drive or similar upload of one of your troublesome content folders would also be a great help.
