Trainz Refuses to Start

[GN1996]

Hello all,

Whenever I try to start Trainz, it gets to the loading screen with the steam engine, and then it crashes to desktop without leaving any sort of message pertaining to it. I have tried running it in all sorts of combinations of DirectX, OpenGL, windowed and not, and I even tried changing the resolution.

Content Manager runs fine other than every once in a while TADDaemon will stop running for no apparent reason. I am forced to shut it down manually to stop the application before I can begin again. After I do that, Trainz runs in Database Repair.

This problem has me stumped.

Regards,

GN

I would check both <trainz install folder>/Jetlog.txt and <trainz install folder>/Bin/Jetlog.txt to see if either has any relevant information.

I have had that happen to me.

Some times it is best to re start you're computer.

Also get into the content creator, go to file than database repair.

I have to remember the menu ...

I tried the computer restart and a database repair, both were a no go.

The Jetlog file in the install folder says:

I have no idea what all the messages in the Jetlogs means, so I thought posting them here would be better.

I do, and it looks like a case of asset corruption in the .ja files. You may need to reinstall to fix that one (although you could try a command-line database repair - details are on my tutorial site).

Thanks for that information, Shane. There was another person that had communicated with my prior to your posting, and the issue appears to be fixed now. Thanks again though.
