I've recently transferred my Trainz installs as well as some of my long term layout projects over to my HP Xeon computer with dual quad core processors, 16Gb RAM and a GTX1650 with 4Gb VRAM and I'm finding everything is running worse than it was on my older i5 powered CoolerMaster computer. Load times are slow, it takes ages for assets to be loaded into most areas and even then it's all pretty darn patchy with assets disappearing and reappearing every time the camera turns around. All settings are exactly the same as they were when this Seagate 2Tb 7200 rpm hard drive was installed in my CoolerMaster so what's going on?
Some of my own project routes are installed in a copy of TS2019 SP1 on this Xeon computer and while they are running on a 10,000 rpm SAS hard drive which makes some difference to load times everything is running fine. But even when the whole route is loaded into RAM and there's no more hard drive activity everything is still choppy with incomplete loading of assets.
My intention is save up to buy a fully up to date Windows 11 computer suitable for running Trainz, but I was hoping my HP Xeon would carry me through for a couple of years until that happens. At the moment it's looking like I'm going to have to archive away my TRS22 install and go back to running an earlier version of TS2019. At least TS2019 SP1 does work reasonably well without too many vices and I have three different SP versions of TANE as well should it come to that.
