Dissappearing route

[PWHolmes]

Ive looked through the forums, but no one seems to have experienced this!!

With my first route 99% completed, I just went to the end of the line to add some more detail. All was OK but when I tried to save and exit, there was a short delay, and then I was told of a programme problem (Do you want to notify Microsoft Y/N? etc, you may loose your data etc).

On coming out and then going back in, everything on the last tile (Roads, track, objects, transfers etc) was deleted (but the datum lines for track and roads were still there??).

Fortunately, I had saved not 15 minutes earlier and I reloaded and redid the edit, only to have the same thing occur when I again tried to save and exit..... and again ...... and again.

I finally got over it by the time consuming approach of just adding a few items, then exiting and saving and repeating this over and over again.

It SEEMS OK now, but does anyone know what caused it??????

There's a whole host of reasons why this might have happened. Did you place any new dynamic track? Signals? Roads? Do you have less than 512mb ram? Did you attempt to save after the screen flickers black?

And those are the ones I can think of right now. The route editor is actually a dodgy piece of programming and none too stable. Sorry to hear you've had problems with it, I've been there too.
