How dumb is trainz and CM3.7???

After reading this thread, I decided to update a copy of my v49922 to the max in one go. Took nearly 12 hours but the update was successful. with 1 error (unknown).

At first, a My Content search showed over 1000 assets at an unknown location. Then it clicked in and they now show up correctly.

One thing I have noticed is that importing and committing a .cdp now takes an inordinate time compared to before. Also loading a session or driver is also slow.

Like 49922, any asset with an error won't place even though it shows in the fly-out. i.e. bwt carbarn (Error: Unable to load animation file 'hash-b4\kuid 61015 28000/bwt_carbarn1/anim.kin' (no resource).
Error: Unable to load animation file 'hash-b4\kuid 61015 28000\bwt_carbarn1\anim.kin' (no resource).)

Now warnings can be given for uniform textures even though they were ignored under 49922. i.e. Again bwt carbarn
449922:-
Warning: This asset uses an obsolete trainz-build number. Trainz-build numbers below 2.7 are no longer supported.
Error: Unable to load animation file 'hash-b4\kuid 61015 28000/bwt_carbarn1/anim.kin' (no resource).
Error: Unable to load animation file 'hash-b4\kuid 61015 28000\bwt_carbarn1\anim.kin' (no resource).
Warning: Required container 'thumbnails' is missing.

61388:-

TB 1.3 do work still even though unsupported.

Something else I've just discovered, the external camera view changes direction along with the train I'm following. I like the way it used to be, follow in one direction no matter what the train is doing. This is rather annoying.

Run under Open GL TS12 stutters. Changed to DirectX and no or little stutter so far.

I reinstalled it, went on to the area in simulatorcentral that allows me to download the installation files again. This ended up doing what I wanted, automatically latest version installed after ONE installation, no patching needed. 61388 in one SIMPLE step. Now I am just recovering my local folder in Userdata. Still not receiving my NKP High speed DLC, but until I get all the other stuff restored, whatever... thanks helpdesk,

The one thing that happened was the patch from 49922 - 61388 also downloaded six, yes 6, unwanted explorer toolbars. I wondered why my browser was so slow suddenly. Doing a scan revealed these bars including for Google which I've been trying to stay away from. Now they've gone the speed is back for browsing.

That sounds odd. Do you remember which site you downloaded from? Are you sure you didn't download them from somewhere else?

I hate those add-ons too and are constantly unchecking them when I need to install software such as Java, Goggle Earth and other stuff.

Direct from the link in this forum, 49922 - 61388. Zone Alarm kept coming up with needs to connect to internet for this that and the other. Three times was for Google alone. Updater, installer (denied) and something else.
 
Something must have been wrong elsewhere on your forum. I've never had any Trainz patches install unwanted software in the process.

This is the only software I've installed in the last week. Before this browser speeds were up-to snuff. Afterwards, yawn. As I said, Google was an offender having seen requests to allow download during patching. MyStart was another one.
 
Don't know if this relates to this
I got 17700 obsoletes and can't delete one of them
I'm thinking i should have not patched the update

Cheers,
Patchy
 
After the problem over New Year, I thought that all was now OK. However, my GCR route (Build 61388) still has a problem with some of the S&C assets. Specifically, the telephone line (one post - 8 bars) and the Girder bridge side (brown brick) appear as parallel white dashed lines in a few places (but not everywhere) and some of the signal boxes have lost their names. There may be more than these examples, but I have not had the time to investigate fully. It is not possible to delete, move or replace these "faulty" assets and an extended data base repair has had no effect. Can anyone suggest a way around this problem - it is very frustrating and annoying and will certainly delay the uploading of the new version of the route. Perhaps N3V would like to comment because the problems do seem to arise from their actions directly.

Peter.
