surveyor seizing

mango madness
hi, i'm having an annoying problem recently. when i'm in surveyor working on my route it freezes every 2 to 3 minutes for about 10 to 20 seconds. it also crashes in driver about an hour into a session.i'have no faulty content and no missing dependency's. game worked fine before this. i'm not computer smart but i've got a feeling i've done something silly to cause this problem. so if someone can chuck me a few ideas technical or in laymans terms it might jog my memory. old age is catching up. cheers, patchy i think.
 
Freezing

Hi patchy,
I think what you are describing will be the program rebuilding the cache.

If you have plenty of ram open the file "trainzoptions.txt" and insert a line, about half way down the file, -resourcememory=xxxx. The xxxx can be up to 75% of your total ram. Note the dash in front of the line and do not have any spaces.

Hope this helps,

hi bill 69, i'll have a look see, if it looks a bit scarey to do i'll get the young fellow up the road to have a go,but thanks for the advice because if you don't ask you won't know. cheers, patchty
 
Hi patchy,

If you don't want to go into the files, go to OPTIONS in the launch screen, then click on the advanced tab. At the top of the advanced screen you can set the cache size up to 512, this may help but the entry in the trainzoptions.txt file will override this value.

You might check to see what your autosave is set to...if it is a 2 or 3 then that would be your problem with the hesitation. Look on your configuration screen under advanced options.

Hi patchy,

Glad you got it fixed. BTW you're probably not as old a dog as I am, I have learned quite a few tricks with Trainz.

Cheers,
