HELP! Trainz Crashed on me!

[Zeldaboy14]

I was playing trainz 2012 about 5 Minutes ago, and when I loaded up a map that was so laggy, it crashed Trainz on me! I'm having issues trying to make it work, so please someone help!:mop: :'mop:

What route? Your computer may not be able to handle speed trees.

I deleted the speed trees in order to speed up Trainz 2012, but i copied the files to my desktop. And the map was Northfork and Western - Application Coal

That route is extremely dense with speed trees. It's near impossible for low end computers to run.

By deleting speedtrees, which method did you use? This is important as it's possible to make the game unstable by deleting incorrectly.

No, i backed up speedtrees before I deleted them, and I remember from a YouTube Video on how to delete SpeedTree's. And I deleted them the correct way, wherever the SpeedTree folder was. And the computer I run Trainz 2012 on is a powerful computer that, when we first got, had Windows Vista on it and a generic Video card in it until we had a Nvida VIdeo card put in, thought it kinda been failing these past few month's since I updated the driver.

I would strongly advise reinstating any files you have deleted (if it's not been done through Content Manager) as they may have affected the game.

You can't delete builtin SpeedTrees in that route, they are hard coded in the JA files. You can disable them by removing 1 file however the Trees are still included as dependencies of the route and are still on your hard drive.

Ok, and reinstall ALL of the SI3D Thomas Content? And the map i never did play, the Aplication coal one. And my build is 1 build before SP1

Shoot, thanks for telling me something. It sped up the game enough when i deleted them.

In response to your question, it's the Speedtree-related files you need to copy back to their original location.

Okay, there are some youtube videos that probably you were looking at that recommend deleting the speed tree dlls., is that what you did? If you've deleted speed trees from a route, you probably just want to re-download the route.

In the case of deleting the dll file, just restore the dll file. You did make a copy right?

Also, what NVIDIA card do you have and what version? You can go onto NVIDIA's site and get the latest drivers for it here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

If you don't know what card you have, there's a way to detect it automatically, just follow the directions. Also make sure you're running in Direct-X mode, OpenGL will be slower.

Let us know how it goes.

Here is what I do. Since deleting the speedtree.dlls file from the plugins folder will result in a unstable game. Dont copy them to the desktop. Save the speedtree.dlls file in the documents folder then delete the speedtree.dlls from the plugins folder and the one from the desktop. I have never had a problem doing this and I run Windows Vista with the original video card and the game runs fine for me.
