"Updating Trainz Asset DB" freezes

[Charliea11]

Hi,

I recenlty bought Trainz Simulator 2010: Engineers Edition (Build 42534) and I never could start the game because the Updating Trainz Asset Database tool freezes when "Checking for faulty assets". I let it run many hours (~8-10h) but nothing happens and my PC still not searching.
In console (TrainzUtil.exe) I can see many of theses lines going :
0:28.7 CommandHostCallback> TAD_CMDHOST_VALIDATE
0:28.7 CommandHostCallback> complete
... then nothing.

I'm on Windows 7 Pro and have ever tried to run the simulator as an administrator. I've also reinstalled it and tried with the 44088 patch but I got always the same problem.

The technical support seems to have forgotten me. Do you have any idea?

I recently carried out a clean new install on a Win7 Pro 64 bit machine.
Completed all of TRS10 including all patches before adding S&C and Treez.
Runs like a dream, did not have any problems with "Updating Data Base".
In any event if your instal is trying to do the Updating function then you should leave it on overnight to allow it to complete.
I am by no means an expert but I think the update function needs a good access to the Trainz Server to complete its tasks.
As I have indicated before patience is the clue.

Thanks for your answer. I'll try again but I'm not sure waiting more is the solution
- As the step "Checking for faulty assets" is running, nothing is in use in my computer (CPU, hard disk access, internet connexion...)
- Even the other console (TADDaemon.exe) show something like "CommandHost TIMED OUT" each time.

Moreover, the launcher advise me that a new update is available but the patch fails...

Checking for available disk space for patching.
Searching for patches...
Downloading patch file...
Unpacking patch file...
Failed to extract the patch archive.
Patching aborted.

There is no problem when I manually download the "42534_to_44088.exe" patch but the first one show something goes wrong.


I notice that I have some error in every console, don't know if it's important.

Charliea11: I apologize for the No's..The first thing I would do make sure all of your Drivers are up to date..Try Open GL vs DX..Also you might want check your computer and see if it can handle 2010, because I understand they require a lot of memory..
