Game won’t launch after update

[ncgossage1218]

After I updated the game, the game will not launch, steam launches but the actual game will not. Frustrating to say the least. Any help would be appreciated.

It takes a while after the update.
It will first do a database check.
After that is done the game should start.

The problem of TRS22 not launching after the update is specifically mentioned in Zec's posts.

Our team have been investigating this error, along with some Steam installations of TRS22/TrainzPlus simply not loading the launcher screen, and we have confirmed that the latest update for TRS22/TrainzPlus requires the latest VC Redistributable to be installed, which you can find here: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

What if you are on a mac? This link does not work.

I assume you mean the solution provided in is not pertinent as that file wouldn't be used on Mac. That's true. If you are on a mac and you have an issue, the dll file is not it. I had some issues with the update (though it did launch). I ended up doing a fresh install. After my fresh install it fired right up. But I'm not on Steam so not sure about the Steam version. (Mentioning that you are on a Mac would be a great help to those trying to help. Consider puttting that in your signature like many of us do.)

The initial database repair after the update runs silently too and that will catch you out because you'll launch the program only to find it doesn't launch due to the DBR running and now you have two instances sitting in memory, or more if you keep launching them.

When you launch for the first time things take a while to do the dbr. On your Mac fire up "Activity Monitor" (Utilities folder). You can use the info presented to see if the app is doing a dbr. CPU percetage will var from machine to machine but you will see a big difference on Trainz CPU usage depending if app is sitting idle or running a DBR in background. On my M1 mini my CPU is less than 5% with just the launcher window sitting open. With an "invisible" DBR running Trainz CPU usage goes up 100% and above.
