The long and short of it is that I'm really OK (and impressed) with what the MG version does - sorry if I confused the situation!

Thanks for clearing that up.

Instructions and additional files to use the AWS TCS are available here http://www.elvastowe...post__p__255510 .


Users having not more than 4 GB RAM are suggested to run selecting general options checkbox for optional run at 32 bit on Win64.

When running on Win64, the player can select if he prefers running at 64 bit or 32 bit. In this second case RunActivity32.exe is run, and only a maximum of 4 GB of RAM can be accessed by OR. If the computer has only 4 GB RAM, selecting the option to run at 32 bit on Win64 is recommended.
Note for developers: Runactivity32.exe is not generated by building the pack, but manually doing a copy of Runactivity.exe, renaming it Runactivity32.exe, and using on the Developer Command Prompt command corflags with the modifier -32BITPREF+


NOTE: ReShade 4.3.0 or older or ReShade later than 4.5.2 must be used. ReShade 4.4.2 doesn't work here. See here http://www.elvastowe...mg-and-reshade/ for an installation guide of ReShade.

When running on Win64, if you are running OR at 64 bit (option not checked) you must point ReShade to OpenRails64.exe; if you are running OR at 32 bit (option checked) you must point ReShade to OpenRails.exe.

It is suggested to unpack the .zip using 7zip, if other unpackers lead to problems.

Thanks for all the hard work, guys! I see you working on many small bugs, so I was wondering if you would consider fixing this one: http://www.elvastowe...-display-error/

[Csantucci]

Is this peculiar of OR NewYear MG, or does this occur also in the Unstable and Testing releases?

I first noticed it last summer in one of the unstable versions. I've been running the OR NewYear MG version for a while, and it's also been present for quite some time. I've gotten reports from other people who have the same problem. Something must have been changed since the last stable release since this bug is not present there.

[Csantucci]

OR NewYear MG uses the physics code of the official testing version. Until the problem won't be corrected there by someone (preferably the person which introduced it), it won't be corrected in OR NewYear MG.

No one ever replied to me regarding this bug (as you can see in that thread). That's why I thought I'd mention it here. Thanks anyway!

[Csantucci]

Borislav, I'd suggest you to bump your original thread. I have checked the problem a moment, but I couldn't find a clue, as that is not code modified by me.
