Well this isn't good.
Saw there was an update available for my Trainz Plus version so set it to downloading and installing overnight. When I got back onto the computer this morning, it showed as complete so I clicked OK and the window dissapeard. But I didn't think too much of it.
Just now though, I thought I'd open the game back up and see if there was anything new in the store. The Start screen opened, a progress bar opened as the game was about to begin a database repair then, after about 10 seconds, it crashes and disapears.
I've tried several times, even after restarting my computer, but it just keeps crashing.
For what it's worth, the build version shows as 119450
Update 1: Have found that, when the start window and database repair progress bar first open up, I clicked on one of the drop-down menues (developer, just randomly) and, while that drop-down menue is open, it doesn't crash and I can see from the task manager that there is a lot of activity on the drive where my Trainz data is, although there is no indication on the progress bar. But, if I move away from that drop-down menue and it closes, the game crashes instantly and the activity on the data drive stops, which means, even if I want to try that method to see if it will eventally do a database repair (which takes several hours), I can't do anything on my computer while it's happening.
I can see that there is also activity on the drive where the program is hosted, even after it has crashed, but I don't see any indication that Trainz is still active and running in the background.
I'll give it some time and see what happens.
Cheers,
Piere.
