I spent over $2,000.00 for a gaming PC in hopes that I could finally run Trainz 2019 without it randomly crashing when running some of my automated railfanning routes, but I'm still getting the issue. For perspective, the PC in the following link is the one I bought (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V2BKVR6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) It has a Core i9 Processor, 32GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Graphics Processor, and Windows 10.
I don't think I'm wrong to assume I should be able to run Trainz 2019 on ULTRA settings with no lag. So why is it that whenever I run this route (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pzvKYw3E5Y) the game-- without warning-- suddenly crashes to desktop after playing it for a completely random amount of time? Sometimes it closes after LESS THAN 30 SECONDS of gameplay, sometimes after a minute, sometimes after 15 minutes. There's literally no pattern to this. This and at least one other custom route that I've tested give me this problem.
The closest thing to a pattern I can find is that a train is always either stopped at a red signal or moving. There is always at least one train in view or near the camera. There is always a railroad crossing nearby, but this crossing doesn't necessarily need to be on to cause the game to crash. (In the above video I linked, the game crashed after 30 seconds and the crossing wasn't even activated.) The train is either stopped, moving slowly, moving at a medium speed or moving at maximum speed. Sometimes, I'm nowhere near a crossing. I'll just be either free roaming or riding a freight train and all of a sudden, silence and desktop. It happens so fast, blink and desktop.
Let's talk frame rate. In the video I linked above, the frame rate is always between 22fps and 30 fps before the game crashes. In rare occasions, 12 fps. But on my new gaming PC, it's usually between 22fps and 30fps when the game crashes. On my older laptop, this route would crash even in the lowest settings, despite a constant 30fps. And I know this isn't an overheating issue because both my laptop AND my gaming PC are cold as ice when the game crashes. Ironically, my laptop gets really hot and the game never crashes except on this and three other custom routes I built.
Oh, and another pattern. All these routes were previously made on T:ANE and imported to Trainz 2019. I tried making a new route in Trainz 2019 and merging it with the older route. This fixed the problem in my Outer Banks Bullet Train route, but not on any of my other custom routes.
I uploaded the route in the above video to the DLS in hope that someone who's more tech-savvy than me can get to the bottom of just what happens when this route crashes and why no matter how much money I spend on a new PC, this problem still persists. The kuid numbers for the route and session are <kuid2:140046:100090:1> and <kuid2:140046:100723:1> respectively.
Thanks in advance for your help.
