LSE Route causes MSTS to Crash when loading.

[MoonKid47]

Hey,

Just tried to open the LSE route in the MSTS Route Editor and it crashed, now when the route is in my Routes folder it makes the game crash when loading. So basically ive messed this route up and dont have the files to reinstall them.

Anyone got any clues to this?

Hi
Try installing an uptodate global Tsection.

MSTS Standardized global tsection.dat file Build 00042UK [325489 bytes] - Tsection42UK.zip File ID: 13758 Date: 05 Jan 2012 - 25066 Downloads

If you need to delete a route you can just delete (or just move it out) the xxxroute folder from your routes folder....then msts should start.
but don't do it with stock...or you'll get errors.

I dont think it could be a route as ive had the same one in my foler for the past 2 weeks and not changed anything. I think it was when I tried to open LSE in the MSTS Route Editor as it then crashed and hasnt worked since, but ill try the Tsection.dat.

I think there's two seperate issues here. Firstly, I agree with JB that an old Tsection file may be the cause of the route crashing so download the latest. Second problem - the LSE route is very large so try turning down some of the settings in Activity Editor, such as siding names etc. Also try running it in 16 bit mode at a screen resolution of 1024x768 (AE seems to prefer this and definately doesn't like 32 bit colour). See if LSE will load into AE with these settings.

I said Route Editor, not Activity Editor...

And the Tsection.dat replacement worked
Though i already had the 34 version installed.

But when did you install LSE ?

You may HAVE had 34 installed, but the LSE install will have backdated it, so if you only recently installed LSE it will have broken it. (GE should not do this if its been done as promised)

I dont remember

Though it works now and im not gonna play with the Route Editor again. Back to the reskinning.

Sorry - mis-read that but I think the route editor behaves in much the same way when it comes to settings. If you are tempted to try again, I'd still recommend using the settings I mentioned.

Just to say, the settings that Ashley recommended, are for all of the editors, and not just AE, or RE.
