Hi guys and gels, yes I am still alive and kicking, now there's a surprise!
I am trying to upgrade my 2010 from 41622 to 42953. I have the patch from the last number to 43434.
What comes after that and where can I find these patches please, just need pointing in the right direction.
Thanks.

Angela

PS. And how does one replace your Avatar nowadays for a newer photo?

Ah - patches.

Hopefully I will have a flowchart up in a day or two, but in the meantime:

Firstly, there is a direct patch from your build to 44088 - that can be downloaded from http://download.ts2009.com/patch/41622_to_44088.exe.

After this point, it depends on whether you want the Multiplayer Beta or not as to which route you need to take.

In terms of avatars, click Forum Actions, then Edit Profile, then Edit Avatar - the page that appears will let you select from the avatars available.

P.S. There is a list of patch links over at http://www.auran.com/servicepacks.

Hi all and in particular Shane, How are you?
Thanks for the info, I'll go do a Bloodhound impersonation soon.
I was wanting to change my Avatar picture for a more recent one but all I could find was a selection of pre-made ones. Is there a way to change my own picture or are people limited to the awful selection I saw.

Got 1 patch in but the other one has a menu up saying it failed to make a backup file on my PC, God only knows why.

Blessings to you all,

Angela
 
Mmm, further hiccup. Patcher does not respond. I may have to reinstall 2010 and start again. Drat, drat and double drat!.

Angela
 
Depends on in what way it's not responding. The patch link I posted, for example, is ~220MB which can take time to patch.

In terms of your earlier question, I'm doing fine at the moment sorting out flowcharts for TS2009, TS2010 and TS12 patches.

Hi Angela..

Nice to see you back in Trainz. I did start a thread a while ago as to your abscence from the forums. Hope you have been in good health during your abscence.
We have missed your exellent creations and look forward to seeing some soon. Most of your content works fine in TS12.

Regards Dave.
 
Hi Shane,
I have BT Infinity and the box wasn't showing any signs of a download, the lights normally flicker when it's getting something. Waited a long time but nothing.
I've reinstalled now because 2010 wouldn't even start after the first patch.

Blessings,

Angela

More problems; the patch 41622 to 44088 states it's not applicable to this version!
 
Hi again,
Got 2010 patched to 44088 but now it refuses to work at all. Click the icon and I get a black screen and the little wheel going round and round for eternity!
On the point of giving up.

Blessings,

Angela

Ah - Windows 7. One thing I need to check is if you are running Trainz as administrator - to check this, right click the Trainz shortcut, then click Properties, then Compatibility, then check the bottom tickbox - if it's ticked, then it is running as administrator. If it's not, then it's not running as administrator.

Hi Shane,
I now have it running as Admin, it was not before. It is also in DirectX mode, always has been.

I think there may be a corruption problem in my WCLine section 2. Each time I try to travel it in Surveyor I get a slam out to Desktop about hallway way along

Nah, made no difference. I can't get past the blue start menu. Click on Content, nothing happens, waited for ages.
Click on Start the screen goes black with the rotating circle in the middle, after a while it goes Bing and then just keeps rotating.

Puzzling.

Well, after removing it yet again and reinstalling and patching from 41622 to 44088 it seems to be behaving itself for a change. Downloading assets at the moment. Keeping fingers, eyes and legs crossed!

Blessings,

Angela, good to see you back. I know you might not want to hear this but there is one more patch for 2010, 44088 49933. The patch after that is only to allow the use of Multiplayer. problem is that one takes away compatibility mode.
I only just patched mine to 49933 and didn't notice any real difference. Shane might be able to advise what this patch does. I run 4 copies of 2010 on my machine for various reasons and patching has always been straight forward but very slow for that first big one. The 49933 one is very quick to finish though.
Cheers,
Mike

It's a bit more complex than that. Build 44088 is the 'trunk' (decision) point - one can either install the Multiplayer Beta (by installing the 44088-46170 and 46170-49938 patches) which results in the loss of the in-game compatibility mode, or one can install the non-Multiplayer Beta patch which is the 44088-49933 patch, which maintains the compatibility mode but does not add the Multiplayer Beta. In both cases though, regardless of which patch is installed, the end result (49933 or 49938) allows the Aerotrain downloadable content to be installed which is not possible with lower builds in TS2010.
