Trainz out of date?

[BNSF650]

What does this mean i just bought this not to long ago? what do i need to do?

Why yes, yes it is!

It's out of date all right, the game engine was created in the last century. :hehe:

Start Trainz (either TS2010 or TS12) and look at the lower right corner of the launch screen - the build number will tell you the current version.

If you don't have 49933 for TS2010 and 49922 for TS12, download the patch for whatever build number you currently have. Note that the STEAM version or one of the 3rd party vendors changes things, patches for those usually have to come from the vendor.

You need to check the build number, which you will see on the bottom right of the start screen, it will be a five digit number such as 44088 or something like that. Note whatever number it shows on your start screen, then go here:

and download the appropriate service pack which fits your number and version of Trainz (makes sure it is a patch for you version, i.e. 2010, 2012 or whatever):

When you have downloaded the patch, run it, note that it can be a bit flaky, so give it some time. When you are patched up (it might take more than one patch to get you updated in some cases), fire up Trainz and when it is well enough up to date, it will then detect that you are able to autopatch upon start up and will offer you the option to do that, which will bring you completely up to date with the current version, which for Trainz 2012, is build number 49922.

The Steam version will autopatch, but is a bit behind the standalone versions, so you might need to download the odd bit of content manually to sort that version out. Even if you bought the standalone version of Trainz 2012 yesterday and have literally just installed it today, it will still need patching (they really should sort that out to be honest), so yours is not an unusual position to be in.

Get this patch to go from 46957 to 48249

46957 was the release version back in 2011, you need three patches, actually they are hot fixes, one to take you to 48054 should be an auto patch which is why you are getting that message, then you need 48054 to 48249 then 48249 to 49922. do not interrupt the patches if they appear to have stopped as this is normal, interrupting will mean you have to reinstall Trainz and start all over again. Patching can take a long time so plan to do something else while its working. And make sure you run the patches as administrator if you are using Vista or Win7

Ok i got the two above now what?

Should be obvious, if you have 46957 then you need to run the http://download.ts2009.com/patch/46957_to_48249.exe first, then test to make sure it works, back up the entire Trainz folder, then run the next one.

Be advised, the patches for TS2010 are cantankerous and a one shot deal - if the patch fails to finish or you cancel while it's running you'll have to reinstall the game unless you have a backup. I suggest doing a full prep before running the patch;

Also copy the entire TS2010 folder to a backup folder, if for some reason the patch fails, you can just delete the \Auran\TS2010 folder and copy the \Backup\TS2010 folder in to replace it instead of reinstalling. Won't have that problem with TS12, the patches for 12 recognize a partially completed update and won't choke on it the way the TS2010 patches do.
