36 byte Steam update can't play

[Gatso]

I've got this very small update constantly showing which keeps pausing and suspending all the time. When it does update it goes up in 9 byte increments and the total downloaded goes well beyond 36. This in itself isn't a problem but it means I can't start the game from Steam which means I lose the 30FPS lock. Does anyone know a way of cancelling this update or find a way of getting 30FPS lock without using the NVidia control panel?

Not saying it will work in your case as I've never seen Steam try to download such a small 'update' but if the download goes to Suspended on me I've succeeded in getting it re-started by clicking on the Pause button under Suspended in your screenshot and then on RESUME ALL a few times.

Yes, it happens to me sometimes when there is heavy internet traffic and the download keeps pausing. If you do as Andy suggests in the above post you will eventually succeed.

...or find a way of getting 30FPS lock without using the NVidia control panel?

You can use the command line option -FPSLimit=30. You can set this by right clicking on TS2013 in your Steam library, and then Properties -> General -> Launch Options and type it into the box, or if you are running from a desktop shortcut, just edit the shortcut to add the option.

Where do you enter -FPSLimit=30 in the desktop shortcut? Putting it after "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\railworks" comes up with an error message.

I don't actually use a desktop shortcut myself, but as far as I know you do just put it at the end - i.e. the 'target' should be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\railworks.exe" -FPSLimit=30

What error do you get? Is it an error when trying to launch RW or when editing the shortcut?

EDIT: should the path not be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\railworks.exe" (i.e. with .exe at the end)?

While command line options are being discussed here, I use the 30fps limiter in the command line options, If I also want to set a FOV setting
-SetFOV=20 as well as -FPSLimit=30 how would I enter them both? I did try just entering them as shown but the FOV didn't alter. Can you only use one option at a time?

[raildumper]

FOV can only be modified going to your \Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\dev\scripts and editing the file engineScript.lua. Open it with Notepad, make previuosly a backup of the file.

Thanks, I will have a look at that, you can alter the field of view with -SetFOV=? in the launch options though. It's just that I cant get it to work as well as the 30FPS limiter.
