Is My TS2010 Version Correct?

[overkill650]

i just tried to launch TS2010, but it just blackscreened. ok. so i got up task manager, and when i clicked on applications, it says:

Trainz (0.4) <--- is that correct?

also, last time i played trainz, it said mine was out of date

The 0.4 is likely to be the current framerate.

The build number is always shown on the Launcher screen.

ok if i can get it to boot up ill post back what build number it is. but isnt there a version also?

 

[shaneturner12]

Yes - the trainz build number and the trainz version number are both in the bottom right-hand corner of the Launcher.

hey shane. ill be back in a bit, gonna watch some tv so i dont explode. trainz wouldnt launch. like not even the start. options. extras. content. etc. nothing. so i went into task manager and ended the process tree for TADDaemon. now trainz launches, but does an EDR. freakin thing has a mind of its own

 

[overkill650]

ok it says build number 44088. doesnt say what version

 

[shaneturner12]

That would be version 3.3.

It depends on whether you want the multiplayer beta or not, as to which patch is required.

[overkill650]

so to play mp i need what?

If you are sure you want the multiplayer beta, and are prepared to lose compatibility mode, the required patch can be found at http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php5/TS2010_Mchultiplayer_Beta.

There is also an additional patch for the multiplayer beta (once the patch mentioned above is installed) at http://download.ts2009.com/patch/46170_to_49938.exe.

If you do not want the multiplayer beta (and wish to keep compatibility mode), you can install the following patch: http://download.ts2009.com/patch/44088_to_49933.exe

Note: The two routes are mutually exclusive - if you install the multiplayer beta and decide you no longer want it, you would need to reinstall.

EDIT: For other users benefit, for multiplayer it's links 1 and 2. For non-multiplayer, it's link 3.

 

[overkill650]

yeah im probally not gonna go with multiplayer mode, my connection isnt the greatest.

so go with the 3rd link? ok thanks shane.

wish i could meet u somehow, you seem like a nice guy. Like you've helped me tons of times. id have to get a hefty plane ticket to jump the pond though

 

[shaneturner12]

That is correct - the third link is for the non-multiplayer hotfix.

Shane

EDIT: Remember, if you do install the patch, and decide you want multiplayer in the future, you will need to reinstall.

Hi,

I was a few months not so busy with tranz and now I see this 440088 to 49933 update, is it wise to update or can I better stay with 440088. Be course when I read all the problems with updates I'm affraid it goes wrong and must start all over again.

My 440088 runs OK, there's nothing wrong, everything works like I wish.
Is there a NEED to update?

wkr,

Richard

According to what's cropped up elsewhere, the patch fixes some crucial bugs.

Also, do not even think about buying the Aerotrain without installing the patch first.
