looks like either your OAL installation is corrupt, or doesn't find the correct OAL version for 64bit (assuming you are running a 64bit OS).

For what it's worth, I have now build a new package based on .NET 4.8, which includes all the latest changes both from official OR as well from Carlos OR NewYear MG up to Rev 27

https://github.com/p...g/144-d77821976

OpenAL is no longer needed to be installed separately but comes as part of the package now.

@ perpetualKid

Thanks for the new version.
It now works again.

But when you call the program a "SystemNullReferenceException" occurs:
Information about calling JIT debugging
instead of this dialog box can be found at the end of this message.

The OpenRailsLog is unobtrusive.

Thank you for your effort.

Thank you very much for the update and for all the work you do! Your implementation of the RailDriver interface is wonderful and just about all anyone could want for RailDriver. I hope this will be incorporated into the mainstream soon. (At least the MonoGame fork.)
I do have a question. I have been using the ReShade Graphic Enhancer for some time now. It doesn't seem to work with the 64 Bit version of Open Rails-MG. Does anyone have any idea why? (32 bit Only?)

I've done some more testing but can't reliably reproduce the issue. I've added some more error handling although.

I've added a fix which is available through the updater (166-8665ce4cf).
If you still find objects which are supposed to move but where the visible representation does not update, let me know. My GH repo is also open for bug reports.

I haven't looked at ReShade so far, but I'll give it a try to see if there's anything related to 64bit-mode.

[Weichenpfleger]

Thanks for the answer.

The problem is the display with camera 5.
When the "Inside.s" is called as an additional file,
she won't be moved.

Being a Raildriver user and not familiar with the ins and outs of the code, why can't the four "unstable" versions of OR be combined into a single "unstable" version (OR Testing, OR Testing Unstable, OR New Year MG, and OR MG Raildriver). Or at least combine the Monogame variants?

There are three official versions of Open Rails:

• Stable (1.3.1.4328, on openrails.org)
  
• Testing (X1.3.1-72-g2db3f076, on openrails.org)
  
• Unstable (U2019.07.29-1921, on james-ross.co.uk)

Each level down includes more new code, which may have had less testing and be more buggy, but also contains new features and improvements. Only the third one in the list is called "unstable".

Additionally, other people have made their own unofficial versions of Open Rails:

• OR New Year MG - similar to the latest Unstable but with even more new code
  
• ORTS MG RD "Ultimate" - similar to OR New Year MG but with a new RailDriver implementation

In terms of merging versions together, I do not think we want less than the three official versions - they now provide a good balance of stability and latest features. The new format for the official unstable version means it will actually be less stable than, but also contain more features than, the testing version.

As for the unofficial versions, we are putting a lot of effort into bringing their features and bug fixes into the official versions, but it's not a straightforward task. The people maintaining the unofficial versions, and those contributing features to them, have their own motivations and we all need to get things aligned so that as much as possible can become official.

Whilst it is not ideal for people trying to choose a version, this is the nature and a key benefit of open source - anyone can take the code and make their own version, with whatever changes the like. What we in ORMT are trying to do, is to make it as attractive as possible for putting code in the official versions on openrails.org. Progress is being made but the unofficial versions will not (and should not) disappear overnight.

[ckawahara]

Thank you James.

Looking forward to the inclusion of Raildriver support in the future. It's the build I use the most.

beyond what James mentioned, one may also see OR MG Raildriver as the most complete/advanced option. It includes all the changes from Carlos OR "New Year" MG, as well the changes from official OR unstable, along with many other changes not available in any other version.

Thank you for your work on this version -- it's good to see OR evolving and modernizing!
