Hi,

Have you installed it as per the instructions at
http://msts.steam4me.net/tutorials/inst ... ts_w7.html

What sort of video card do you have; as I have no problems running it under W10 with an AMD Radeon card, but can't remember if NVIDIA cards had an issue or not?

Quick other question is have you only got the 6 default routes installed or has anything else been added?

MSTS on an NVidia card is generally no problem. It's AMD cards that are a problem.

If the editors run and the main program won't, it sounds like a video card problem to me.

Have you tried running mprofile.exe? (It's in the Train Simulator folder.)

Nigel.

There are 3 programs that need to be set to run as administrator. Launcher.exe, Mprofile.exe and Train.exe - it usually plays ball then

Hi All,
That very clever chap, Jack Fuste, has created a new version of the AMD BugFix. This was necessary because his previous version hasn't worked for any drivers released after 16.8.3 (30/08/2016).

As well as working for the older drivers, the new version allows MSTS to work with the latest, 18.8.1 (02/08/2018).

CAVEAT : MSTS doesn't display correctly when using drivers 18.7.1, but I feel it might be an AMD error because there was no problem with the previous version (18.5.1).

Available from trainsim.com - msts-bug-fix.zip

Cheers,
