Routes not showing up

[MDG84]

My PC no longer is working correctly, but I did have everything backed up to my external hard drive. I have all my routes saved and all that. Today, I installed Trainz on my laptop and imported everything I had, including all my routes and assets, but my problem is that my routes are not showing up when I open Trainz. I even clicked the star to show all routes instead of favorites and still nothing. In Content Manager I can see my routes there and then when I try to view in surveyor, I get a message stating "Error - map is missing or damaged". I am sure this question has been asked a million times, but I attempted to research the issue first before posting this and the only solution I came across was a possible difference in the build number of the route versus the actual build of Trainz I have on my laptop. I simply downloaded all the necessary files on my laptop, installed Trainz, imported all my content, but none of my routes will show up. Does anyone have an easy solution for me? I have spent countless hours on a route for a couple months now and I sure hope I am not out of luck here.

You need to make sure that the build on your current version matches the build on the version the routes were in, which means having to install patches to bring it up to the same level.

Also, check the map in Content Manager and make sure it's not faulty.

Thanks for the reply. I think the build number is definitely the issue. I never really updated much on my PC to be honest and there is no way to check now to see if I was 100% up to date. I checked the config file for the route in content manager and it says the trainz build is 3.6. I was not exactly sure what version I have on the laptop, but I created a test route and then opened the config file and said the trainz build is 3.5 so it seems I do indeed need to do some updating to get to 3.6. Another dumb question probably, but can you point me in the right direction for the patches? I know they are under Auran Announcements, but do I just need the latest patch which is SP1 Hotfix 3, all of them or a different one? I just want to make sure I am doing everything right and don't want to screw anything up.

Also, when I open Trainz on my laptop, in the lower right it says Build 46957. Not sure if this would be relevant, but thought I would provide this just incase.

That is relevant - you will need the following patches, in order:

http://download.ts2009.com/patch/48249_to_49922.exe

Thanks again. I will give those a try and see if that helps.

Those 2 patches did the trick! Thanks for your assistance!
