Downloaded Sessions not working.

[DCDuncan]

Here is an interesting problem that I am having with very nearly all of the sessions that are not part of the core game. This includes those that come direct from Auran and other third parties. The screen shots show what I see when starting the session, thought others default to the camera at the route origin.

The next one shows the driver list

On editing the session this is the Driver Setup rule when opened, no train is attached to any of the drivers.

Moving further down the list one sees this:

All set junction rules are red as are anything that refers to one of the trains in the session. Looking just at one of the junction rules this is typical of what one sees.

If you try and edit the rule the junction does exist under the same name as that displayed, thus:

None of this happened with the closed Beta version, only the early access one, although they have the same release number. I have tried reinstalling the early access game twice in different locations and removed the Beta version too but still with the same effect. Every Session that is not part of Kickstarter County 2 does something like this, in some the driver list is empty when starting the session and on editing it the driver rule shows an error and no drivers at all.

I am at the moment not too happy at this, as you might imagine.:'(

None of your screenshots are showing in your post.

 

[DCDuncan]

That should be better.

 

[Tony_Hilliam]

This issue is most likely due to precaching not being completed when the session starts.

Reload the session and it should be resolved.

Well I have tried that just now with the same result as before. Still no train loading. I also for completeness tried another session on a route that I have run successfully on the Beta with the same results, although that one defaults to the route origin on loading rather than the location of the train. Also when moving about the route the consist can be found all driverless and static but placed there whereas on the Hinton Division ones no trains appear at all.

Have you got anything showing as faulty or missing dependencies in Content Manager?

I would remove the packages and redownload them again. Something here isn't right at all and somehow stuff is corrupted, or maybe even a totally fresh install again might be the answer to ensure that everything is fresh. Just remember to backup any custom routes or content you have installed.

Try the Trainz until command ‘precache —clear’.
This will take a while but could solve the problem.
Next step would be to create a new user data folder.
Please let us know how you get on.

I have now tried both those the Trainzutil doesn't work at all just coming up saying TANE.EXE is not running, so I tried to create a new data folder elsewhere, I have uninstalled the entire game using Revo uninstaller, which searches the registry and drives for left over bits and allows you to delete them. I have reinstalled the game to a third different hdd this time the ssd boot drive, which I normally keep clear of such things, and allowed the game to download the routes again. And after all that I am back at the same point, I have again moved the local content folder successfully, none of the content show has having any errors in content manager nor does it show as damaged in the game. Yet still I get exactly the same result every single time I try to run sessions.

 

[shaneturner12]

You need to run the TrainzUtil command from the Trainz launcher - there is a bit of setting up to do before using it though.

1. Click Trainz Settings then the Dev tab.
2. Tick the box that mentions advanced debug tools.
3. Close the game completely then re-open the Launcher.
4. Click Developer then Run TrainzUtil command, then enter the command given by Tony.

Thanks to shaneturner12 for that information, I have done that and tried to run the precache -clear command in many different formats including cutting and pasting from Tony's post both with and without the quote marks and always with the same result of a syntax error so I can't clear the precache, unless there is a way to do it manually without the game?

I have run a session and looked at the log file created thus and the errors that different routes get are different, on a route with trains but no drivers the errors are not at all clear as to what causes them there is no reference that I can find to errors in the driver setup at least, whereas those in the routes with drivers but no trains almost all the errors I can find are on failing to load rolling stock. I have not yet had time to check that the items of stock appear in my collection and I will do that later but it includes things like the C&O K4 which I can view on the track in my collection.

 

[shaneturner12]

Whilst I'm not familiar with that precache -clear command, have you tried using the prebuild command instead to force a precache? If there are specific errors it may be possible to right click them and choosing Copy which allows it to be pasted here.

What I would do is simply create a new empty data folder somewhere else such as C:\TRS2019_Data. If there's another hard drive installed, place it there instead such as D: for D:\TRS2019_Data

Once the new folder is created:

Start up TRS2019
Click on Trainz Settings:
Click on Install Tab.
Change the location - browse for your new folder by clicking on the ...
Click on the folder name so it appears in the Installed location.

You'll be prompted to restart.
Close the launcher.
Wait a minute.
Restart again.
Put in your user login information.
A quick database message will appear.
Restart.
Go into settings and ensure your new location is still there.
If it is, make other performance settings, and set up Dev tab to Enable advanced tools
Restart as required.

Start TRS2019 and your new content will download.

Test.

I've a feeling N3V may not have included some commands in that list as I've verified that prebuild is a valid command (not sure about the one Tony gave though).

That's possible. This was a direct copy from the trainzutil help. I did this from Powershell after I started up TRS2019 because Trainz needs to be running in order to run Trainzutil.

At this point, I would try a fresh data folder and see what happens. There's been too much faffing around with this now to be of any good.

 

[shaneturner12]

I agree - that's the best thing the OP can do at this stage.

Shane

 

[DCDuncan]

I have run the prebuild command and it is slowly prechaching things away, I will check shortly if it has had any positive benefit shortly.

No prebuild did not work, so I will try a completely new and otherwise empty local files directory next.

And in a final post to this thread, creating a new folder on another drive and allowing things to download again has marginally improved things. A couple of routes now have driveable sessions in them 2 from the original kickstarter county one on healsville and I got bored of testing after that. I am thinking of uninstalling the whole thing and giving up on Trainz entirely for the first time since it's first launch.

First I wouldn't uninstall anything you've made progress here with the fresh data download!

Do you have any DLC you purchased from N3V?

On the Launcher, click on file and choose download purchased items then start TRS2019. Anything you purchased will download and install.
