[FS.E652 091]

The bug is still present since Rev.54, to remedy this, just simply stop the activity at least 5 \ 10 minutes later than the real time ..

In this case, you can manually exit the program, but forgoing the final evaluation

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.

Instructions for web server:
What you can do now to test it: check the general options checkbox Enable WebServer, and start OR. If you type
http://127.0.0.1:2150/index.html
in your browser of the same PC where OR runs, you'll get a web page with the OR HUD.
You can display the same page also on other PCs, or devices like an Android Smartphone or TV box, or an IPad. In this case however, within the Command prompt you must type ipconfig; you will get some lines as reply, and one of them is
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.114
So, in such case, on the browser of your external device (being in the same internal network of your PC) you will have to type
http://192.168.1.114:2150/index.html

Revision 86 can still be downloaded from here http://www.interazio...loads/index.php (click on OR_NewYear_MG_oldrecent.zip) .

Version 86 and 87 crash from not identified reasons 10-15 min after starting the program. Version 84 works without problem. V 85 I haven't got anymore, so I can't check. The programm crashes and shows two requests with a lot of for me not understandable tech-talk, which I am not able to copy and post here. when I try to make a screen-shot, they vanish. There is nothing in the log file. The requesters mention somewhere "levelcrossing" but there ist nothing wrong with any of them and, as I said, version 84 works.

[Csantucci]

Hi Hannes,
if you refer to level crossings, this might be connected with the newly introduced American multiple honk sequence feature. However with your scarce info it's difficult to investigate. Does this occur with a particular route, with a particular activity, in a particular point? Are route and activity downloadable somewhere? Logfile is anyhow useful. Further data about the two "requests" would also be very useful.

[Hannes44]

It occurs with my own route, and I think the connection to levelcrossing is definitely there. I was able to take a screenshot of the error requesters. No activity, I drive only timetables.

Thank you, V87 works now, no more crashes near levelcrossings.

[Csantucci]

That's good. I have uploaded OR NewYear MG rev. 87.1, which includes such bug fix.

[jpmackay]

I am confused with Carlos message that he mentioned the latest version of MG is ver. 81.1 and just reading the messages before your last message that someone mentioned ver. 87. So which version is the correct one for the latest program of OpenRails Monogame.

Thank you,

John

[copperpen]

Version should be 87,1, it is now the latest and contains the timetable level crossing bugfix.
