Hope your holiday season was ducky.
I first discovered Trainz 16 years ago (year 2006) with a free Auran Demo 2004. It was a route based in Australia. Kinda a primer to Trainzing. Sometimes later, I tried the 2006 Demo but it ran poorly on my now-archaic computer, a 2006-vintage Toshiba laptop with XP. In 2013, I finally bought an edition of Trainz: 2012. In 2015, I started building in Surveyor. I also bought T:ANE in the summer of 2015 when it came out and shelved it for a good number of years because my PC back then was underpowered.
Every now and then I have to reinstall 2012 as I'm route-developing. I've had to do this for seven years now. Commands break down over time and so does content. Ext. DB Repairs and reboots do not always help.
Content can vanish from a route for no apparent reason. Sometimes on surveyor tabs, content names in red text appear meaning they are broken and can't be added to a route. Sometimes the content thumbnails in surveyor are empty, there is no rotating picture of the content even though the name text is in white. Content (engines, cars, animals, trees, houses, etc.) without visible spinning thumbnail previews on surveyor tabs cannot be injected onto a route or session. This seems to happen most often with locos and other rail cars.
The loco and rail cars that seems to auto-disappear "go AWOL" most often from a developing route in progress is:
SP SD40T-2, <kuid2:45324:100141:2> by norfolksouthern37
Also one or more of Tank Trains A, B and/or C bynorfolksouthern37
Another traincar that likes to vamoose is a certain caboose:
SP Bay Window Caboose, <kuid2:35815:15123:1> by jkerlee
It is whenever this content vanishes from a route I'm building that I usually have to do a TS12 reinstall to get that stuff back on routes. I may have to download some more stuff to fix broken stuff from CDP after game reinstall. Some crackerjack computer science experts might want to chime in as to why certain stuff vanishes from routes over time in development. The devil in software is all in the ones and zeros. The software and/or data seems to develop "cancer" and "mutate" over time.
