involuntarily. I have a habit of using the alphabet to name edit revisions in order. To save disk space, I generally retain only the 2-to-4 previous Route letters.
The last route name showing in my content is Revision X.
I had some trouble saving edits this morning and ran Ext. Db. Repair and that seemed to fix everything for a while, anyway.
I did a couple of test saves with minor edits under the names Revision Y, Z and AA and they were showing up in CM this morning and I deleted everything BEFORE Revision X (Revisions S, T, U, V and W).
Then right afterward, I closed Trainz, ran some anti-malware program scans, fixed Windows Registry, got Windows Updates current, did a CCleaner clean-up session.
I just opened up CM again this evening here in California time and Revisions Y, Z and AA are now GONE!
However, the stuff i deleted (Revisions S, T, U, V and W) BEFORE Revision X earlier showed again
Everything up to Revision X is still there, however. Trainz, for some reason, won't let me save new Route names past the letter X for any reasonable length of time.
By the same token, Trainz won't let me get rid of everything before X for good also.
I am running Ext. Db. Repair again. What could be happening?
What is the "Letter X" conspiracy in my case?
Should Trainz be reinstalled from scratch?
Trainz is doing other weird things against my will: I suspect the program may have been become corrupted and broken down over time.
-even when Trains is opened up as Administrator, all the saved routes that are showing up are locked out of edit by default.
-I set Trainz display properties to DirectX but Trainz keeps changing it back to OpenGL as well as changing screen resolution back to default.
Could some bad downloaded assets have botched up Trainz completely? Is malware known to be propagated from the Download Station? Does Trainz staff even verify that assets submitted by third parties to the Download Station are malware-free before approving them for distribution via its Download Station?
