Who said "RW runs fine if everyone would just have systems like mine"? Again you can have all the hardware in the world but if you don’t know how to set it up what good is it going to do you? The proof of that is right here in this forum.

You can disagree all you want and I’ll repeat it again with the “default” (and a few beta routes I’ve been testing) routes in RailWorks I have never had any “SBHH crash” on three different machines which includes a low end (compared to my desktops laptop.

How can anyone be so anoying alone?

If you can't help, then don't write please.

Please post with regard to the forum rules - in particular rule 3:

3) Members are expected to behave in a reasonable manner and with a spirit of goodwill, and opinions should be posted and read in good faith. Challenging other users' points of view and opinions is perfectly acceptable, however do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Personal attacks, rudeness, flaming, baiting, insults to others, arguments, impersonating other users and posts that blatantly breach the established spirit of goodwill and reasonableness will not be tolerated.

Any 'my PC's better than yours' stuff just really doesn't help. Please keep it civil or the topic will be locked and warnings issued.

My thanks to bigphill2 for the info has fixed Wales & Borders for me all runs very well now.
My thanks again.

Hiya thanks to those of you who pointed this out to me, just to confirm i have correctly done it.

1. download the 4gb patch
2. extract the archive
3. Locate the "railworks install directory and copy and paste the patch file into the folder
4. double click the patch and the window saying it patched it sucessfully appeared

Cheers
Dave.

That's it you're good to go now.

Thank you,

Maybe the Cresston V3 101 Scenario will see the light of day now! lol

**EDIT**

It looks like the patch has not worked?

Started off form where i last saved my sceanrio and about 12 or so miles later i get game lockup and i press my windows key to reveal a SBHH error

Did you patch railworksproc2.exe ? It's not railworks.exe you should patch

Ok i was a little silly and actually noticed i had patched the patch instead of searching for "Railworksproc2" *DOH* Red faced or what!

I am the proud owner of a system with an i7 975 @ 4GHz, and a Radeon HD5870, and one would think with such a system RW would run flawlessly. It does in the main run reasonably well of course, but if I try to set FSAA higher than 4x multisampling or if I enable vsync I get to Stutter City pretty fast (leaves seem to be a major killer, winter = smooth). The same PC eats stuff like Crysis for breakfast, even FSX is like butter.

The moral of the story is, even with the best systems there is a lot of room for optimisation in the RW graphics engine.

Don't worry. I did that too the first time A little trigger-happy to press "OK" too quickly.

Yes you must indeed patch 'Railworksproc2' and you'll see a difference in the performance of RW

I am delighted to say i managed to finish the sceanrio to the end now i have patched the EXE must say it is a pleasent change to game freezing with SBHH! lol

Thanks
Dave.

Good to hear Dave! The success streak continues. The sheer amount of people this has cured their instability with speaks for itself.

Pity the boffins at RSC towers never picked up on it and added it to a patch? Or am i being facetious

One of my setups uses the exact same specs, i7 975 and an ATI 5870. Unless you are trying to run RailWorks with SuperSampling AA applied you should have no problem running 8xAA with the 5870.
