Cannot start Blueprint Editor (crash)

[miglietto]

Sorry if this question has already abeen answered but I didn't find anything with forum search
I go in the Tools & Docs tab of the RailWorks Launch window. Clickink the 'Blueprints' button I have just the XP crash report windows (debug, Send, don'ts end error).
Any suggestion ?
Thanks

Have you set RW to run in a window instead of full screen ?

Yes I did

Even starting directly the executable blueprinteditor.exe I have exactly the same behaviour.
Could be that I have the <RW PATH>.\source directory still empty ?

I don't think so as I have started it without any problems before with that empty.

OK, I did some litlle experiments and I found out that the problem is related to the file/directory environment.
I copyed in RW install dir the RailSim version of BP Editor. It crashes too.
Then I did the opposite. I copyed the RW version of BP Editor in RS install directory and it works
Should I open a tiket to RS.com ?

Yes it would be a good idea to do that.

I use XP also and there doesn't appear to be a problem (even with fullscreen set) on mine??

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7, Except in Win7 it handles the error and keeps the program from crashing. Sadly it still does not work just doesn't crash.

Been trying several Things including Registry tweaks to try and fix this but to no avail. Shall try dropping it in it's own folder and see what it throws up as files it creates automatically and then check the files it looks for.

My gosh that was a fast solution.

_BlueprintEditorRect.dat

Default location :

Drive : \ Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ railworks \ Temp \


Located in the Temp Directory, from the Blueprinteditor.exe files source folder goto the Temp folder... find the .dat file and remove the file. (just delete)

Voila it worked on next reload and generated a new .dat file.
