New Computer setup please

[pcohen]

Good Evening everybody.

Here Is my latest saga with Microsoft Train Simulator.

Having removed my 32 Panasonic TV from the equation and returned my 32" Curved Screen Monitor to Curry's/PCWorld and changed for a new 32" Monitor plus the new Speakers I purchased recently.

However, This new combination Is still not working correctly!

This Evening I attempted to run the Dorset Coast Activity "The London and Dorset Wanderer" From Waterloo to Guildford with the following disasterous results.

As usual On occassion, The Track and Scenery dissapear briefly and only returns after pressing the
ESC Key. Also, another small Issue, Occasionlly the screen goes blank (Black Screen) and returns
after a few Seconds

I have attached a Log File OpenRailsLog.zip and look forward to your advice on these Issues please?

Many thanks

Paul.

System info not in Log file. Laptop or Desktop? What is your Drive C? A regular platter HD or an SSD? Capacity and free space of drive C?

Good Morning Charles, thanks again for your help.

I am running this new System on my Desktop Computer, I think this Is the Information yo require.

Having been told recently that a Computer cannot run on a 32" Panasonic TV because of Sound Issues, I purchased a small set of Speakers.

Since then, still having issues with sound and Graphics decide to ditch the 32" Panasonic TV and invest in a new 32" Monitor with the results you have from my last Post.

I hope this is the information you require:-

My Computer specifications are as follows:-

WINDOWS 10

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.59 GHz

Installed memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

System type 64-bit Operating System x64-based processor.

Many thanks again.

Paul.

Hi Paul,
With respect, despite the title you've given to this thread, it's the same PC you've been using for some time! All you've done is replaced your Panasonic TV with a monitor.

Having been told recently that a Computer cannot run on a 32" Panasonic TV because of Sound Issues, I purchased a small set of Speakers.

You weren't told that you couldn't use the TV, just a suggestion that the problems you were having with the sound MAY have been due to using the TV's sound system.
Likewise with the graphics problems you're having. However, even using the new monitor, as you're still 'losing' textures, until you press the ESC key, the problem must be elsewhere.

Cheers,
Ged

Just my thoughts - This issue with the graphics disappearing if I am correct, has only occurred since Paul switched to a different version of OR. I might suggest going back to the version used before where this problem had not occurred and see if the problem is still present.

PAUL,
I asked three questions YOU only answered ONE. Plus you gave me a lot of information I already knew from your Log file and other posts.
I REPEAT:
What is your Drive C? A regular platter HD or an SSD?
What is the Capacity and free space of drive C?

[pcohen]

Hi Charles, apologies, Drive c: Is a regular drive I Guess.

Capacity 2, 198, 412, 812, 288 bytes 1.99TB

Used space 227, 513, 344, 000 bytes 211 GB

Free space 1,970, 899, 468, 288 bytes 1.79 TB

Guessing this Is what you wanted, hopefully?

Thanks

Paul.

OK that eliminates an over worked Drive. An SSD would improve performance but not fix your problem.

When you run ORTS what other programs are open?

Try this run ORTS till you get the disappearing terrain. Open Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL keys then select Task Manager) Select Performance Tab, next click on CPU box on left side. Now do a Window Capture (WIN+SHIFT+S and select Window) save the capture to JPG file. Next back to Task Manager, select Memory (below CPU), another Window Capture, Save. Now post the two JPG files on forum
.

Hi Charles, thanks for your reply again.

Not to sure by what you mean by "what other programs are open"

Presumable the Internet is running in the background, I also have a programme called Fortect which checks my Computer , Is this what you mean please?

Thanks

Paul.

Yes. Look at your Windows Task Bar. Here is mine below. Notice there is nothing below 2 icons those are not running. There is a long dash below the scissor's icon, Snipping Tool, that is the current running program when I made the screen capture. Then there are 7 icons with a small dash
that 7 of the 10 Icons have a small dash below the Icon. Those are running in the background and may or may not be using resources. In addition there are the programs such as Printer, Windows Security, Malware, Phone Link, Dropbox, OneDrive, Speakers, Outlook, Bluetooth, Nvidia Settings, and CoPilot. Those are mine that are shown on the Taskbar tray. You may have more or less.

Good Evening everybody.

Came home on Friday Afternoon after yet another hospital stay and have had a very
lazy Weekend.

After a Complete overhaul and re-Installion of The Routes below

Dorset Coast

Thames_Trent_Version_3

MECoast-main

North Wales Coast v2

PRR EAST V.2

All Five Routes seem now , to be working fine with no Graphic or
Scenery Issues and no Black Screen problems.

Yesterday and This afternoon I have tried to Download the MONON-2 Version 17 Route.

However, when trying to Download the First File Monon-2 17- Main.exe

It almost Loads and then shows the message "Couldn't download Network Issue"

No point trying to download the other 9 Files without the first One.

Any help with this please?

Many thanks

Paul

What a joy to have you back home, and to see your eagerness to play MSTS/OR again, Paul.
Regarding Monon-2, I cannot help you, I dont have this route.
Wishing you good health.
Best regards.
Mateus

Hi Mateus, thanks for your reply.

Will keep trying.

Thanks

Paul.

Paul, there's a number of reasons the "Couldn't download Network Issue" can appear. A couple of simple things you can try.... if you're downloading via Chrome, try Firefox or another browser and see if that gets a full download for you. Also if you're downloading via wi-fi try downloading the file on a machine connected with an ethernet cable. If they don't work, paste the "couldn't download network issue" message into Google and you'll get a number of more detailed "fixes" you can try.

Hi Paul,
Welcome back, mate

Do you have trouble downloading from any other site? If so, maybe the problem is local to you.

I have just successfully downloaded the first file. Monon-2_17-Main.exe from https://monon.org/mws/rws/downloads/...download.htm#B
Is that the same address you used?

Cheers,
Ged
