this does not apply to these engines. The reason this has been a problem in the past is because I - JR was releasing items compatible with TRS06 and above. This meant that items had config.txt files that were 2.0 to 2.6 in build number and had old asset-filename tags in them. Opening them in CCP in TS09 and above caused this tag to be stripped but did not replace it with the fonts-path tag required since 09. Since we only create for items 09 and above now, any new asset has this tag already built-in and will not be effected by opening it in CCP at all. The old tags being the reason for ARN becoming non-functional is not the cause for this problem. Someone has already caused him to change the correct tag to something incorrect.
So to answer to OP and hopefully gain some more details on it. Nobody else has reported this problem. Are there any red dot/bugs appearing in the lower right of the screen?
I reinstalled the locomotive dependencies and train fx library and then changed the fonts path back to "mesh" and now they work perfectly. Thanks for all of the help!
