TSRE5 Route select window too tall, can't load route

[tjm123]

I have TSRE v0.6958. I cannot make it past the route select window because it's taller than my screen resolution (1920 x 1080) and the "Load" button is hidden from view. I cannot resize the window or move it up. Pressing the "enter" key or double clicking the route name doesn't let me proceed.

I have a Thinkpad T480 with Intel HD Graphics 620, I know this may not be suitable for MSTS.

Hi tjm
I am running in the same screen resolution without having your problem. I have not used v0.6958, I am now on v0.6963. It might be something to do with your graphics card, but there is a way round the problem in TSRE.
Go to the TSRE folder and open settings.txt. You will find a bunch of lines like this:
#routeName = ICE-HB
#routeName = tutorial
#routeName = Warszawa - Kraków
#routeName = Zurich
#routeName = LakeGeneva
Add a new line without the # but substituting the name of the route you wish to work on. When you open TSRE it will miss out the load screen and go straight into your route.
If you want to edit several routes, you can have a version of TSRE for each route, I have 3 versions and they can be run at the same time. Just copy the TSRE folder and save it with a different name. I have TSRE_v0.6963Z (for Zurich), TSRE_v0.6963LG (for LakeGeneva), and TSRE_v0.6963All (which takes me to the "Load" screen). I find this very useful when I think "how did I do that in the other route?", and I can see without shutting down etc.

It works. I had to change the route name as well as the main directory in the settings file of the TSRE installation provided by TrainSimulations.net. The main window in TSRE is also big and it obscures the recent items list unless if I maximize the window, which moves the recent item list to a portion of the object list. Thank you.

Also, where can I get version 0.6963?

Hi tjm
There is a link to v0.6963 over on ElvasTower, note that this is a pre release version, but it has the advantage that OSM maps work.

Looking at your pictures, the spacing around the numbers looks very different to mine. For example in image 1, the black box next to UID is much taller than mine. In image 2, maximised, there is not enough room for your numbers whereas mine look just the same as in the smaller window.
Just a thought, have you tried running TSRE using a different screen resolution?

Hi tjm123,
Just an idea ...
Seeing Garry's mention of screen resolution made me wonder if, maybe, your problem is caused because you have used the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" option (right-click on Desktop and select 'Screen Resolution'). If you have it set to 125% or 150%, I suggest you change it to 100% and see if that cures the problem.

I appreciate this might be what Garry was suggesting; I took it to mean changing the vertical and horizontal values.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged
I had no idea that you could make the change you mention. I have just tested it, (I have to click "Display Setting" after the right click on Desktop). It did not reproduce the images tjm posted.
I wondered if the 1920 x 1080 was bigger than the screen could display, so some of it was off the screen.

Go to EXE file properties and find this option:
"Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"
Or something similar.
You can also change your DPI scalling for all apps in system settings using slipperman suggestion.
