TSRE Consist Editor not launching

[1996fan]

Upon starting my computer this evening TSRE consist editor is not launching to my Openrails folder. The only way it will launch properly is if I run the route to the default TrainSimulations folder. Has anybody else ever ran into this issue before? I've used TSRE running to my Openrails folder for years with no issues.

Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where TSRE if installed.

1) If there is a text file named cerecent.txt,
Open the file and add the Path(s) to the MSTS/ORTS compatible content you have installed as in c:/trains/msts. With each path on a separate line. Then save the file. Now open TSRE-CE and choose the path you desire.

2) If there is no text file named cerecent.txt.
Create a new Text file. Enter the Path(s) to the MSTS/ORTS compatible content you have installed as in c:/trains/msts. With each path on a separate line. Then save the file naming it cerecent.txt . Now open TSRE-CE and choose the path you desire.

Upon opening the file, both lines I have in there c:/TrainSimulations and c:/OpenRails are what I use. I keep the TrainSimulations routing as a backup just in case, but I run OpenRails off c:/OpenRails.

You might have a bad file causing TSRE to crash... depending on what version you run, the log created in the TSRE directory might give some hints.

I run OpenRails off c:/OpenRails.

Does the Open Rails program also live in that folder? If so, and if you recently updated ORTS, the update overwrote your trainset files, per normal update installation process

it is and I haven't updated ORTS recently. I am on 1.6.1

What would I be looking for in the log? I searched for error and there were no results.

Please post a screenshot of your TSRE-CE opening menu window.

This is what mine looks like:

Found the problem I believe. I had downloaded the B&O West End route and deleted it. Now it works just fine

You don't have to delete the route. Just delete the placeholder files in the activities, traffic and services folders

P.S. there is a dedicated subforum for the TSRE consist editor.
