I think it is by coincidence that I lost 2022 and so I mention it here......

that I heard the there was an update so I went to 2022 to update and later, I was adding things from the " Store " and things eventually got slow and I tried to " Cancel " a download and yada, yada, yada, the game crashed so I re-started my computer and the 2022 desktop launch icon was all bleached out and then I went looking for my installation to pull a new icon out and I can't find my install of 2022.

I've heard of shutting down at the wrong time corrupting a program, but do they actually disappear????

I wasn't playing with 2022 while waiting for more wrinkles to be ironed out but it looks like my next move is to re-install 2022.

I did try getting more things out of the Store for my 2019 but I'm being very careful, I sure don't want to lose what is working for me!!!

I've had problems with the desktop icon no longer pointing to the program (or data folders), but I don't think a program can disappear without some help.

Firstly, (assuming Windows PC!)
If you left-click on the start icon, can you see the N3V folder, if so, can you see the TS22? does it link to the program?

Second thought - does your virus checker auto-delete suspicious files? if so, check the wastebasket...

After TS22 upgrades, it will run a database repair - you may have interrupted this by downloading somethings from the store, leaving the program in a weired state.

You should be able to re-download TS22 from the "MyTrainz" tab at the top of the page. This will be the latest version.

Checking your disk for file corruption in the advent of a crash or bad shutdown is advisable before doing or assuming anything else.

Right click In turn on each drive you have Trainz stuff on > Tools > Check.

May also need to run SFC /scannow in an admin cmd window in case any system files have been corrupted.
