QD Consist Creator - 88% Crash

[Fenrir]

TS2015 running on Windows 64 Pro, AMD Phemom II X4 955 3.2GHz, 8Gb RAM, NVidia GT770

Every time I try to create a new consist or edit an old one I get CTD at 88% as it loads the rolling stock. Any ideas?

Never had it crash but it appears to render every piece of rolling stock from the geometry files and so takes many minutes to load. If you have lot of DLC I would not be surprised if it becomes unstable.

Hi
I'm glad I'm not the only one to have this problem,it worked fine when I was running TS 2014,but it started crashing the day TS 2014 was upgraded to TS2015 and always around 88% as well.

You can of course build not only QD Consists, but QD fragments in RW_Tools and it works fine...

Load LogMate before you start TS2015. (You find LogMate within the Railworks folder). When the TS crashes, you can look into the LogMate protocol, where the error is.

Sometimes LogMate shows no error, but you can see, which Asset was last build correctly. It's only necessary to know, that the TS handles the Assets in alphabetical order. So you can look in the Assets folder to look, which next Asset was checked.

I posted about this problem when the consist creator was first introduced. No one responded, as it happened, but I tracked it down to a problematic third party (non-Steam) piece of DLC. The creator would crash 100% of the time with that piece of DLC installed.

Same thing here. As it happens, I did a bit of trial and error and tracked the reason for mine crashing was down to a wagon in one of the Digital Traction wagon packs. I did report it to DT. Thought nothing of it after because I started making QD consists in RWTools.

May I suggest you make a back up of your non-steam asset folders then delete them and try the QD consist creator again. If it works ok, paste each asset folder back in one at a time, trying the consist creator each time. If it doean't work after you put a folder in then you've narrowed down the culprit.

I have added a new file to the tutorials section on my site 'Building QD Consists and Fragments' you can see it at http://www.rstools.info/tutorials/RW_QD_Setup.pdf

I was getting the same thing, the sim would crash when trying to use consist creator (although not at 88%). I tried swapping out various assets using the 50% method and it quickly homed in to the Passengers directory under Kuju\Railvehicles. After working the 50% method on that directory, I ended up with everything back in my Assets and now the consist creator works fine, with nothing removed!
