MSTS crashes at a location but only in MSTS evening

Post by eurorail »

I was writing an activity for a route ( Moulinsard), and the system kept crashing at the same place - although I have passed this place in other activities 10's of times.

At first I thought it was snow textures, AI traffic etc but after changing all variables and doing an expermental mini activity, including season, it seems to crash at this one point only in the evening, and not say at noon or at night.

This has not happened on other routes

Is this a texture problem, shadow problem or ?

This usually happens if a shape has an animation and night texture. Easy way to check is go into the RE at the approx location, and change the time: press + or - key. If it freezes or crashes when the "lights" start switching on, that's probably the problem.

This has been known to affect interactive objects, such as water and coal towers.
