Hey guys, When I click my TS12 Icon to launch nothing happens. It just load s for a minute and won't load anymore. Any suggestions?

I take it this is a new installation ?

Did you turn off your antivirus when installing Trainz ?

After installation have you made "Allowable Program Exception Rules" in you antivirus program, to "Always Allow" Trainz launcher, and Trainz CM through ?

Right click on the Trainz desktop launcher icon, and click properties/advanced, and tick the box "Run As Administrator"

Have you patched TS12 to a higher SP (even I am confused by the Patch page, it is very unclear on what to patch to, as there are no instructions on what patch's to apply).

And you are not suposed to run Trainz until it is patched (which could take 3 or more days of progressive patching, with your antivirus turned off (best done overnight as some patch's take @ 16 hours).

Sometimes this requires uninstall Trainz, restart PC, and re-install Trainz fresh.

When you first started Trainz, what build numeral was showing in the lower corner ?

I have had this game on here since middle of June and It worked fine. I had it up to date so it was SP1 and I don't remember the build.
 
When you first start TS12 from cold it can take several minutes to respond, especially if you have an extensive asset collection.
 
Hi

I have had similar problems in the past and it has always been due to Trainz suddenly changing the display options for no apparent reason. On the startup screen click on options and then click on the display settings tab. Check that the display resolution and display mode haven't been changed. I normally run in Direct X mode at 1920x1080 resolution but when this last happened it had been changed to Open GL mode at 1024x768 resolution. Restoring the options to what I normally use cured the problem immediately.

It happens to me on two or three occasions a year and I have no idea what causes it.

Do you get any kind of Windows error messages?

If you do then it could be some other issue outside of Trainz such as a faulty hard drive.

If not, you may need to run an Extended Database Repair. This can be done from Content Manager.

What are your PC specs (make, model, CPU GHz, video card ... etc).

Have you run trainzdiag to see if your PC can handle Trainz (as it is one of the very highest memory/video dependent programs in the world).
 
Well then the only option, painful though it may be, could be a complete uninstall (including deleting the N3V residual folder structure) and reinstall/re-patch to your preferred version. Just be sure to backup any personal projects first.
 
And when you do that ... Right click, properties/advanced, (of those CM.exe file , or Trainz Launcher.exe file) Tick (both): "Run As Administrator".

Have you made "Allowable Program Exception Rules" in you antivirus program, to "Always Allow" Trainz Launcher.exe, and Trainz CM.exe, through your antivirus firewall ?
