Error in trainz 2010?

[NR29pacnat]

Hi all,

i've recently brought trainz 2010 and from day one of my installation up until when ive re-installed it 3 or 4 times now,

Any custom content i install into CMP displays as ethier black or pixelated in the game and i have had no ideas how to fix this problems its a real shame and strange that only custom content is displaying like this any idea on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

The 'black items' problem is likely to be a texture compression error.

To fix this, you will need to use Content Manager.

1.Click File, then Settings.
2.Click Miscellaneous.
3.Click in the box labelled 'enable hardware accelerated texture compression' to remove the tick, then click Save.

Once done, you will need to open for edit, then recommit the affected content (you can access both of these items either in the Edit menu, or by right-clicking the content and choosing the Edit menu from that list)

It's OK - coincidentally, after reading another thread myself, it appears that the next version up (TS12) no longer has the texture compression issue.

Actually Shane I believe it to be more of a hardware issue. I experienced the same issue (easily fixed as above) with a GT 430 card that I installed in my new computer with 2009. Perhaps someone with 2012 and a nvidia GT 4XX or 5XX series GPU could tell us for certain.

Confirmed hardware compression works in TS12 with a GTS 450 and GTX 460.

May well have been a hardware problem that N3V have worked round, possibly something in the newer cards that didn't exist before or maybe that used to and now doesn't.

Thanks for the feedback Malc. Probably texture related somehow.
