    Open Rails Runs Jerky!

    Besides My TSRE Problem when I Run an Activity in Open Rails It's Slow and Not Smooth When I Move the Various Keys. It Tends to Jerk and respond Smoothly. It Ran Fine Last Night at Midnight.

    Take a look at task manager to see what's utilizing your computer's CPU and GPU.
    You may also have pending or active updates keeping everything from running smoothly.
    Attaching a copy of the Openrails.log may be helpful too.

      Nothing in the CPU and GPU. Nothing in the OR Log.

        Something is obviously happening in the background on your system, Dave.

        The problem you reported with TSRE and now OpenRails both are symptoms of what may be the same root cause - low resources, be it CPU, GPU or available memory.

          TSRE log reads top down. The bottom line is what it was doing when it puked.
          It would really be helpful if you could attach both log files here.

            I see gameplay get stuttery sometimes when I open the dispatcher window or toggle it to the top. Methinks there is something leaky with the DS window/map.

                Is there Another log File? The Log File in My TSRE Folder Contains Directories, Consists, and Activities.

                  It's pretty simple to attach things..... there's a button at the bottom of the Reply box that says "Upload Attachments".....

                  Click that, find your way to the log file, click OK, and post your reply. Done.

                    When I try to OK the log I Get a Popup Saying 20.3 KB Exceeds Limit of 19.5 KB.
                    Also When I Start Open Rails I get a popup Saying; File Native/X86/Open AL32.dll, File Native/X64/open AL32.dll, File Run Activity.exe are Missing. When I Open My OR Folder all 3 Files are There.

                      Check your Anti-virus program and see if it is deciding to install "updates"or conduct "housekeeping tasks" when you are running the sim. Also,if you are running an "Alienware" computer then check to see that the "Respawn" element is not trying to get your attention to update something. You can also disconnect your internet ,shut down the computer and restart. Wait until everything loads and then try running the sim. I have to do this as well,since my old "Alienware"computer is so loaded up that the Memory is low. I found this a help,but not a complete cure. If you are NOT running a "Gaming" computer, Iw ould suggest that you invest in one as it would make ANY Sim more enjoyable. Hope it Helps. Brian

                              It is recommended to get rid of that, the windows AV is more than up to the job.

                              >I've Got 246GB Left on My Hard Drive

                              My train stuff takes up 540GB on my drive.
