Hi Folks,

Has anyone experimented with Monogame compatability ?

Some people are having trouble with Win7 as the OS and sepearetely with ATI video cards - it works perfectly on my Win10 NVidia box... Can anyone confirm or deny the hardware/OS issues ?

Regards,
Scott

Hi,
I would like to know if I can just dump the files from each successive OR update into my OR with Monogame installation in order to run Monogame with the latest OR.

Hi...

The original ORTS is setup to use XNA - I dont think they're compatable - we’re stuck with whatever is the latest version of Monogame until someone compiles the update to work with Monogame engine...

Scott

csantucci has been working on a Monogame port ... do a bit of forum searching. It's apparently not as simple as one might expect (so what else is new?).

Hi Mike,

Thanks - yeah - Carlos looks like he is doing most of the heavy lifting development around here - I don't know how he stays so focused for so long... Guy deserves an award... Yeah - I had found the Monogame ORTS I'm using buried in one of the threads somewhere - works quite well for me... Others with different OS/Hardware - not so much - I'm sure it's complicated and a can of worms doing the port... Seems some other people were successful at compiling newer versions of the code - just trying to get a feel for if the issues people have been having are localized or OS/Hardware specific... I'll look more...

Regards,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Monogame ORTS runs fine on my rather dated computer with Win7 and a Nvidia card. Thanks a lot for uploading it here. I just took what you are using and had it running in five minutes.

Regards,
Uli

Hi Uli,

Happy to help - LOL - it wasn't easy finding it so I figured I'd just make it more readily available - all the credit belongs to the developers...

Thanks for the feedback - this is really strange then - one user I was trying to help had Win7 and Nvidia - his doesn't work - program crashes on start...

My experience was similar to yours - simply copy the MG ORTS folder to my desktop and launch - everything worked...

Thanks again...

Regards,
Scott

As to the ATI video cards, I have a Radeon RX570 that works just fine with MonoGame (running in Win 10).

Hi Steve,

Thanks so much as well - yeah - was working with a different user on the ATI issue - he states he loses all ability to use any antialiasing function with the Monogame version - nothing but "jaggies" - works fine on the normal ORTS version... I wish I knew more to help them - as this is sounding more like they just have localized issues on their machines...

Regards,
Scott
