Problem starting MSTS

Post by voyagerweb »

This problem could be related to BIN but i am not sure,

i have installed the district line route and MSTS Bin Screens and widgets today,

MSTS now hangs on the first loading screen, so i removed BIN Screens but that caused the problem that it couldnt find the GUI/Screens so wouldnt open, and the district line removal made no difference.

Any suggestions would be welcome..

thanks

Firstly, you need Xtracks 3.17 or later, and NewRoads 3.2, and the latest Tsection
and have a read of this thread http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic.php?t=63136

And do not reinstall MSTS as suggested above.

Do you have lots of stock & routes installed, if so, your TS is loading them all and it takes longer with the more files you have.

Try installing trainstore...

Hi, I thought that when you install the Bin Widgets it made a back up copy of the original somewhere ? Have you read the manual :)

This is only a last resort, and shouldn't be the immediate reaction when MSTS has problem, go with suggestions above, if you have lots of routes use train store and also install a fresh tsection because if you've installed something new it may have overwriitten the current tsection.

the latest T section fixed it, something i should have thought of but it did fix it.

Thanks for all help.
