Strange Drive To Bug?

[Roadwolf]

Upon opening a session, I issue a Drive to Trackmark command to a locomotive, which previously worked fine. However now the locomotive just sits there, and the bogeys or wheels disappear! I can't even move it manually. Now every time I start a session on that layout it does the same thing, with any locomotive and any trackmark. Even if I delete the session and start a new session with new rolling stock.

Any hints what it could be?

Does this happen with the same rolling stock on another map?

If not, then the map may be corrupted.

It doesn't seem to be rolling stock based, as if I keep the map, and delete all the rolling stock, and add a new train, it will do the same thing.

It has happened to me before a few months ago, but I was able to fix it somehow, I wish I was able to remember how, lol.

Seemed to happen after I made my yard a priority 3. The mainline was unchanged tho, so I am not sure. At the time I also deleted a few locomotives on the route which i was using to testing.

I have gone into the menu and 'deleted all missing assets' on the map with no luck.

Figured it out!

had 2 sessions with the same name. duh!

alls good now.

Having this happen again. Was working fine until today. The only work I did today to the route was texturing and adding some trees, then I went to drive a single CPR 44 ton switcher through the route and the trucks dissapeared and the train wouldnt move in 'Drive' commands. It also seemed to have a very hard time moving in manual.. and wouldn't move at all after I did 'drive'.

I figured it was a corrupt session again, so I deleted the session, since it was just a work in progress testing session anyhow.. and i created a fresh new session with a single locomotive, and boom, same thing. doesn't matter where I start the train either. there is a good 26 km length which is signaled properly and such. ya figure if it is a faulty track joint or something, the train should still move down most of the track?

Also went and deleted missing assets and such. The problem persists... I am at a loss as to what to do, 2 weeks of route building is now corrupted? I dunno... please help?

Hi Roadwolf,

It seems like your map is corrupted. I have had this happen somtimes but not very often, in my case it was just a bad load, the map itself was ok but didn't load properly. Try closing down eveything and doing a cold reboot of the computer, it might help.

Cheers,

ah yes that seems to have helpped. I usually dont shut down the computer often, so maybe i should think of that next time, sorry for freaking out

Thanks!
