There should be 2 updates available 129335 -> 131965 -> 132285. You have to use the correct update channel TRS22. You could try to use the patch installer directly (Patch Installer.exe in the Trainz program folder). If you still don't get the updates, try using the TRS22 Beta channel for the first update.

Oddly, I don't see your button to change update streams.

that is a bit odd isn't it?

 

[MrLudo001]

Could that be because of being purchased via Steam ? Mine also does not show a button to change update streams.

129335 is not the Steam version.

This is the image of my Trainz22 folder: no Patch Installer.

How can it happen?

How can it happen?

Possibly an incomplete or corrupted install process. How much free space is on your C: drive?

 

[p-dehnert]

I've installed TRS22(PE), using the Full Installer available at the MyTrainz website. After the installation the TRS22 program folder contains 46 elements, including the file Patch Installer.exe.

This means I need to reinstall Trainz22 PE to get a correct installation folder? I'm worried about it! Trainz22 works well now...

 

[pware]

Trainz22 works well now...

Clearly not because you cannot update it.

 

[G.M.]

Ettore you can have more than 1 trainz installed

Install an extra version using a full installer from Mytrainz
Give it a clear name and dir FI: TRS22new.
No your old version will not be affected.
see if that version updates normally.

When all ok first cleanup, then make a clone of your local old TRS22 dir
to "TRS22localnew"
redirect the path in your new TRS22 to that clone in Launcher

Now you will have 1 good backup version
and 1 version that can update

hope this helps, greetings GM

Thanks a lot, youngs! I got it working. I think the problem is the "Patch Installer". I think that the antivirus programs recognise it as a trojan and cancel it. I'll keep you informed on this regard.

I think that the antivirus programs recognise it as a trojan and cancel it.

Make sure that you add trs22.exe (and possibly Patch Installer.exe) to your antivirus program exclusion list.

 

[ettore48]

I think the problems are the Windows updates that override the antivirus settings.

You could be right. I just checked my AV real time exclusion file list and all the entries I added have been removed. Added them again and I will keep an eye on this.

Windows updates never removed any of the Defender exclusions I set (Windows 7 to current Windows 11 24H2).

 

[ettore48]

After two ransomware attacks that bypassed Windows Defender like a knife through warm butter, I switched in 2021 to Iobit Malware Fighter, which uses Bitdefender as its engine and includes a ransomware engine. From that point on, I feel very comfortable with the software. Every time Windows updates, the setting returns to Defender, and I need to reset the Iobit setting again.

You will find here how to save and restore Defender exclusions in less than a second..
