Another Bug...

General discussion about Rail Simulator that doesn't really fit in to any specific category. A good place to start if you're not sure what category it should fit in to as well.

Another Bug...

Post by tomtoon »

I was playing in window mode (THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED IN WINDOW MODE)

and the screen went really slow slow like a massive sort of bug(still 14fps) and then it returned to normal and then it kept doing it....

it only did it when my (wireless for that matter)internet connection went

does anybody know why?


OH BTW NO MORE WOBBLY CAB!!

I'd imagine it was something to do with your Internet connection.

I'm still to find this wobbly cab?!

Why do you consider that a bug? It sounds more like your PC cannot handle the load of running the sim and your wireless connection at the same time.

By the way, if anyone has Procmon from the MS Development site, it shows you what is happening when you run RS. In my case, AVG anti-virus was checking each file as it loaded from disk. Shutting down the Anti-virus program gave me about 10 fps extra...

I use only the class 47 for testing my layout and never seen this effect.

Try a forum search before posting. All you need do is enter the term surging and you will find it has been noted and discussed.

tomtoon,

you may want to google 'vista and networking issues' if you are using vista as there are plenty that will produce similar effects to what you are describing. As for XP, it is probably as easilyconfused suggested with your PC struggling with the game. Good luck!
