Changing track

[LundeSDK]

Hi all,

Been playing around with different tracks for the WCMLN route, as the default ones are a bit boring. Using the camber tracks it causes a huge FPS drop, so decided to use the ECML London-Peterborough track textures from RSC. Game runs well for about 10-15 minutes any scenario, then crashes saying "Saved dump file to C:/" or simply "Railworks.exe has stopped responding". Seems to be no issue at all with default tracks however.

My specs are:
i5-4690K, 970GTX, 16GB memory, Windows 10.

Using this excellent guide for swapping tracks:

Has someone done this sucessfully without getting weird crashes? Or can I someone open the dump file and find out whats wrong?
Tried lowering settings from HIGH, but really didn't matter. Could be an issue with the replaced track or track rules maybe?

Done a full replace of the WCMLN and WCLMoS's track to the ECMLS one and seem to have no issues so I have no idea what your issue is.

secludedsfx,

What settings are you using? Was running an Armstrong scenario with immense AI traffic, might have a say.
Have you tried running any heavy scenarios?

I have noticed the track on the Trent Valley Route is also a bit boring where the sleepers curve with the ballast.

I might look for something better.

There is still a tutorial on my site which shows how to swap track using RW_Tools.

Went ahead and overclocked my CPU from 3.5 to 4.4Ghz. Seems to have sorted this issue and gave like 10-15 fps boost.
It's amazing how dependant this game is on the CPU
