Surveyor and Driver playing up 2006

[trainzguru1]

I have got TRS2006 and well it was awesome, But i then tested a map and it worked but then when i went back into surveyor to edit it, the mouse and everything just flickered as if it was still loading, it was very laggy during this and i cant finish my layout now, any solutions?

Oh and i got a DLS ticket best decition of my life

Make sure that your drivers are up to date (graphics/DirectX)

Secondly, try completely closing the game before re-opening it.

Also, what is your build number (bottom-right of main menu screen)

Shane

 

[trainzguru1]

It is direct x 11

And have done that does not make any diference

Build No: 3337

Run Trainzdiag (in bin) and see if your video card is good.

Temporarily: Disconnecting your Eithernet or by turning off your wireless router, and turning off your antivirus, as well as windows sidebar and any othe large process, will increase framerates as much as 100%.

Aslo try: canyourunit

Vid card success, and done all that but the problem still persists

 

[shaneturner12]

DirectX 11? You still need to have DirectX 9.0C installed alongside it. (DirectX 9.0C and DirectX 11 will run side-by-side)

[trainzguru1]

Ahh yes, i have both

 

[trainzguru1]

Any solution yet? as i am making the complete island of sodor and need it finished in a months time.

 

[shaneturner12]

Can you post your TrainzDiag log? It may help identify or remove possibilities in relation to the problem.

Also, check in the Trainz Options box (Options on the Launcher) and check the settings there.

Just noticed a potential problem - according to that, your processor is too slow for Trainz to run well.

Also, as you appear to have an integrated graphics card, that may be making things worse.

Shane

 

[trainzguru1]

Ahh i see, what can i do to make the problem go away?

 

[trainzguru1]

I am going to uninstall and re-install trainz to see if that works. as the surveyor had no problems before

 

[shaneturner12]

The only way of dealing with a slow processor and an integrated graphics card is to replace both - someone else on here may be able to advise on the best options.

Shane

 

[shaneturner12]

Good idea - remember, if you had to install SP1 before, you will have to do so again without opening Trainz first.

I have a feeling that the system may be misinforming TrainzDiag, or that the processor is indeed slow.

Shane

 

[trainzguru1]

or i will downgrade trainz to a smaller version

 

[trainzguru1]

ok, thank you. Now i have to find the box hehehe
