TS2019 will be 64 bit!

[ihavenonamenoreallyidont]

On a quick test, I can now load a couple of AP 205 scenarios that previously resolutely refused to load. Frame rates, generally, have improved, too. This is using 2x DSR down to 1440p with 3x SSAA on an i8700k and 1080 Ti.

Anyone know a quick way of removing the AP Stability Pack without doing a full file verification? (The thought of having to install virtually ALL the AP packs again... ugh! First world problem and all that )

Oh, and erm... well done, DTG. Can't remember the last time I said that so yeah, well done.

Note that you will need to repath RWTools, and add a profile for the 64-bit game to Nvidia Control Panel if you use that program.

Hi
If I run the 32b batch file and run the 32bit program i get an error saying MSVCR100.dll is missing. If I run the 64b batch file and the 64b program I get the Access Violation fault. I have done a verify files but nothing changed.

To upgrade to TS2019 was only a 95mb download for me, there was then a subsequent unconnected workshop item download of 135mb.
Don't know why some of you are getting 2gb plus downloads unless you've actually purchased 2019 or perhaps already got the new Portsmouth or German routes and they're being updated as well.

I too had a 95 MB download. It appears to run fine (from a cursory test) on my dual-core 8 GB system though I now need to go back and confirm that my desktop shortcut to railworks64.exe is actually running 64 bit...
I did think the sounds were a bit directional so may try the 'fix' later.

From this thread = http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 1&t=150060

Additionally my tip for changing the sounds to use the "64-bit version" of the sound library (from the other thread):

---------------------------------------------
For changing to 64-bit you copy:
railworks/install/OpenAL/64bit/OpenAL32.dll into the railworks main folder, overwriting the existing file.

For changing back to 32-bit you copy:
railworks/install/OpenAL/32bit/OpenAL32.dll into the railworks main folder, overwriting the existing file.
---------------------------------------------

In theory you should not have to run the batch manager as the game starts in 32bit by default.

You will know if you are running 32 bit or 64 bit when you start the game as there is a splash screen that shows when the game is loading saying 32 bit or 64 bit. Someone on Steam has said that the 95 MB download is just for people whos game is just updating the core game to 64 bit and the 2.4 GB download is for people that already have the routes. Don't know how correct this is.

One thing it did notice though is the set fov, I tried it under the steam property's and also created a short cut for the 64 bit on desktop.

Ok, sorted now, left a bit out

How did you solve it?

All looking good here - sounds seem to be main thing noticeable so far along with much quicker loading of scenarios list. Obviously lots to test but will certainly prolong the life of the game,

[gptech]

bongo...try a scenario on the default GEML----given it's history the extension is not the best route to test with.

Afternoon - I've experienced an issue whereby the FPS in 64 bit was lower than 32 bit (not what I was expecting and quite frustrating!). After a little detective work I realised that the Railworks64.exe application hadn't been added to the AMD Radeon Settings in the Switchable Graphics section.

I added it manually and bingo the FPS values have increased and are on a par/slightly better than the 32 bit.

This may be of help to others in a similar predicament??

cheers

LOL I deliberately chose that route for precisely that reason Gary

Maybe it's a flaw in the scenario, not a 32/64-bit issue?
