There are several threads on this subject but I seem to have a variation which may be of interest - and hopefully someone can explain.
I thought the other day that I was having a "seniors moment" or losing my marbles - I have a very large Route which has been going for about 9 months and is about 300 baseboards with several areas "under construction" - I opened the route after a couple of days and found after some initial surprise that the previous days work was "missing" despite saving in the usual way.
Experimenting with different rouites and methods of saving I have found the following.
Auto saving set to 60 minute intervals seems to be working - at least it stops program for a few seconds and appears to work ok.
Saving the current route (as I have always done) by overwriting route and session goes through the three stages of options but stays on the surveyor page and does not go to menu - only after pressing escape - new work is lost.
Saving another equally large route using this overwrite method works OK.
Saving the problem route by renaming it also works ok.
Conclusion is that the "problem route" has something causing this behaviour and not the Trainz program as a whole.
Going mad possibly - help this poor old soul with this dilemma if you can.
I know the above (renaming) is a solution but would like some input as to why after so long this is happening.:'(
