Trainz 2012 will not run?

[railroy19]

I'm having a problem with starting trainz. Everytime I hit start I get the Updating trainz asset database search window and that can take more than 15 hours for it to complete because I have 319771 files it has to check. I did this two days ago and after that when I try to start the game it wants to do the same thing again. Anyone know how to solve this problem?
I have been off of trainz for a while so maybe there has been an upgrade or change to the system that I'm not aware of.
I have build 58414

Help

Thanks,
Bob

Hi,

Few things:
- You probably do not have 319771 assets. You are probably counting all the local AND the DLS assets.
- If you get this process (almost) every time, you are closing your PC to fast after closing the game or do not close the game at all and just shut down the PC.
- Build 58414 is a weak build.

What to do?
- Patch to 61388; you can find the patches here: http://www.auran.com/servicepacks/
- Close Trainz and than let your PC run for a few more minutes before turning it off. Alternatively you can go over your options and make Taddaemon show by going to Options -> Developer -> Show database progress window. Make sure that window is closed before turning off the PC.
- To count the actual number of installed assets, make a filter with "Installed = True".

Good luck!

Thanks so much oknotsen.
Patching the build right now. I'm sure that must be my problem.
Have not been on for quite a while so I'm rusty.
Will catch up aftera few days on here.
