Nothing to add in terms of a fix, but the game is still very much open and running when 'paused.' So as Retrorails stated, probably not a good idea to put your computer to sleep in this state.

If you're referring to my post, It's not 'anti-N3V bias' 😅 The thought posed was 'Why the reflexive first culprit is Trainz?' I stated because it usually is, perhaps not sugar-coated (yes, due to their slow servers and occasional, frequent depending on the product, installer errors). Your post...

Like they say, routes like 'Middleton for Laptops' will work, but is that all that a person would want to run? Of course I can't really talk right now as I won't have a new computer capable of running Trainz for at least another month or two 😅

It really depends on user preference, I guess. If you don't care to run any detailed routes as they are intended with shadows, detailed trees, large draw distance, any rolling stock in yards, any of their fancy new graphics (PBR, HD Terrain), etc at low FPS, then sure it can work...sometimes...

Probably because it usually is. Gigabit internet and anytime I would try to install my DRM-free TANE back in the day it would take multiple attempts to get it to go through, even before all the necessary subsequent updates. Not to mention their default DLS speed unless you pony up for a First...

Since nobody else is saying it, your best choice would be a new computer/laptop. You won't have much enjoyment with Trainz using integrated graphics unless you plan on running routes with nothing on them at the lowest settings.

Lost my ability to give N3V the benefit of the doubt after the whole T:ANE fiasco. Would love to, and of course hope things work as expected, but been there done that. First and last Kickstarter I ever support. They actually had been doing quite well recently with transparency, communication...

That's what Vsync does, (assuming 60hz monitors) 'Half' will limit your framerate to 30 for typically a smoother experience. While you may get 41 FPS in some spots of a route with it off, they will, sometimes drastically, jump higher or lower in other sections. Vsync maintains a consistent 30...

While not necessarily prototypical in most cases (and definitely not an F7 or SD-40), anytime I just want to get a nice view of the route from the interior of a loco I'll run a switcher or two in reverse if they have a nice view out the rear windows.

Don't believe it's allowed to share files after a site has closed down unless the creators give permission, but it's definitely good practice to save the asset downloads from third-party sites for the future just-in-case the site shuts down, as long as you have the space on your drives to store...

I don't have access to it at the moment to see if the undo button is hiding anywhere, but you could try pressing ctrl + z to see if that will undo your last action.

Haha, you had me in the beginning. For real though, what company takes their forum down for a week to change to a new system without any notice before or afterwards!? I'm all for Trainz as much as (almost) anyone else here, but N3V continually make decisions that are baffling to say the least...

Great, so my hundreds of bookmarks with valuable info, tips, releases, etc are now worthless (outside of searching all the post titles, individually). Fantastic. All this for some like buttons and pointless 'trophies?'

Very helpful, thanks!
