The game crashes when saving the route.

I'm having problems with Trainz 2022; it crashes when saving the route and corrupts it. How do I fix this?

There are a number of causes for this, however, take a look at the simple things first that can cause this.

The biggest culprits are your antivirus program and disk space.
For your antivirus program, you need to exclude trs22.exe and your user-data folder from your antivirus real-time scanning.

Check your available disk space. Click on This PC and look at the graph showing how much space your drive contains versus how much is used.

Trainz requires lots of space for not only your route but also to decompress assets in order to load them into your route. Trainz also creates a temporary copy and a backup copy of your route when you work on it. If you don't have a lot of disk space, this can prevent Trainz from saving properly if at all.

And finally, if everything checks out, try a database repair. It could be a simple as that, but I would check the antivirus first.

I've had the game crash back to desktop from moving track items to frequently, and the same is true with spline points. This happened a ton in Windows (with AV), and a couple of times in Linux (no AV). The best recommendation is just save more frequently. Yeah it should not be that way, but I've learned that Trainz gets very unstable after hours of playing. For me both types of DB rebuilds are a temporary fix. In my view that at says the DB architecture itself is a problem. I believe it is built on sqlite which is NOT a heavy duty DB. MariaDB is far better and more reliable, but there's probably reasons NV3 never chose it.
