Hello. This is an issue that is beginning to make Trainz 2019 a burden for me to play. I've expressed this concern before on a thread but it never got any responses so i'm being more specific here. Trainz 2019 is starting to become unenjoyable due to the constant crashing I'm experiencing for no reason whatsoever.
The game crashes, and by crash I mean completely closing itself out entirely, when one of the following occurs from what I've noticed:
-Trains running over 52 MPH enter the field of view
-Certain Locomotives are loaded on game map causing the game to just completely freeze and crash itself... Some examples i've had include the Jointed Rail NS SD70ACC 1800-1801, SOU SD35, and a Repaint of an SD40-2 done by a friend.
-Session Interface is zoomed out entirely to show baseboard map, if multiple trains are on the map.
There are likely a few more examples not accounted for here, but I notice that I'm not the only one having this issue. From searching around I've seen other users encountering the EXACT same issues that I'm having, yet there's no fixes for it. In fact, an Auran developer even came out and said that the issue was due to some sort of sound card or other driver not being compatible with Trainz and that they were aware of the situation, yet no fixing was done to correct the issue.
Now personally... releasing a game with an issue that makes the game entirely unplayable should not be allowed at all. But because I'm a firm believer in Problem Solving, and I have many acquaintances that are able to play the game near flawlessly, I will just go and assume that the issue is on my end. So, below are all of my specs.
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics
RAM: 32 GB (It was originally only at around 8 GB, I made the upgrade myself)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop
I have done the following to try and correct the issue, none of which have worked:
-Updated Graphics Drivers
-Uninstalled Trainz 2019 and re-installed
-Removed it from Anti-virus software check and even re-installed anti-virus software
-Cleared unnecessary temp files and made room on computer for extra space.
-Added more RAM as stated before
-Consulted other Forums, including on Steam where it was discovered that this issue is due to faults in program itself.
I am beginning to grow frustrated with this, as I've had the game for several years now and this issue has been plaguing me each time I pick the game up. I refuse to give any more money to Auran by purchasing a "New" copy of the game, because if the same issues are present there, I will have essentially wasted unnecessary cash trying to fix something that couldn't be fixed previously.
I'm sure support for the game is limited since we're now in 2024 and the game's release was a few years ago, but since it's still actively used and has content being made for it there's obviously enough support to get issues like this resolved. I am again assuming the issue is on my end, so whatever action I need to take to correct it, please leave it below. Thank you.
