What happened to my MAP?!?!

I have been working in Surveyor on a new layout for weeks now, and, as I was using the cursor to back a consist up, I got a Fatal Error. Now, when I try to load the map, I get this:

Is there any way to recover my map?
 
You never upgraded to SP1, i don't think there is a way to recover it...... If you had installed sp1 it would work MUCH better and this would not occur.
 
man, i had this problem too about a few weeks ago. had to reinstall everything, including sp1, what i think i did was saved the map some weird way....and it didn't like it, but mine happened when i changed the name of the route (i beleive) don't feel bad, i lost 2 months of stuff when that happened, sucks, but teaches you a lesson....back the files up
 
I DO have SP 1 installed. And I DID back it up.... but my back-up of this map gives me the SAME "Map Not Found" message.
 
I lost a map the same way in TRS2004, so it's not an SP-1 issue. It's a rare but deadly Trainz disease. I hope somebody has an answer for recovering the route.

Hi have you tried this open CMP locate your layout now either save as CDP or try clone.
You can then see if the cloned layout works or try extracting the CDP and see if that works.
 
Losing a map is a well known "feature" of TRS2006.

If you do a search of these Forums you will find that others have reported that after a few weeks, or even a month or so, the lost map magically reappears.
 
How exactly do I make a backup copy of a route / map? I'd *REALLY* hate to have my trolley layout wiped out since I'm using TRS 2006. I think this trolley route may take me up to 3 or 4 months to do, and that's with my summer break (no job or school for the whole summer).
 
also have a look at the config of the map, make sure the trainz build is 2.6

try sending the map to someone else to see if it works in thier trs2006 build.
 
I had saved it under TWO DIFFERENT names.... neither will open. I have tried all you guy's suggestions.... nothing works. I guess my map has gone to that great Trainz Map Heaven!:hehe:

Well its not alone. I lost a massive route a few years ago due to a crash during saving process. Here is what I did. First, I started to save routes under two different names. Second, got a better computer. A better computer stops frequent crashes. Third, rebuilt the entire route better than the first time.

It is a sickening feeling when you realized you lost a route that you spent at least a hundred hours creating.

Alan is correct according to my experience. It seems a TRS 06 route without SP1 installed will not run a route that was built with SP1 installed. Must be a later version thing and all that. Oh and it's a free download for TRS 06 owners and yes it is a huge download.

I do have SP1 installed. Things HAVE worked BETER with SP1.... losing a route now and then must be just something to expect once in a while.
