Hey guys/girls been back in trainz for about A month now and already on the verge of leaving due to the unreliability of this program I have never known such A unreliable game.


First problem is if content manager is downloading in the background while using trainz it can randomly freeze which causes trainz to freeze the only way out of it is control alt delete which leads to the second problem.

Being that once trainz has been launched once it wont launch again untill computer has been restarted which brings me to problem 3.

Taddaemon refuses to close I even left it running and went to sleep and 5 hours later it was still there which results in A database repair the next day so basically every day or second day I have to wait for it to do A data base repair this also happens from game crashes not caused by content manager crashing.


Cheers.

The fact that this sort of thing happens to you and not to the vast majority of other users should give you a clue as to the reason, it must be something to do with your hardware / software setup.

Check out some basic things like :

Is your PC up to the required spec ?

Have you got a load of programs running in the background ?

Are you running Trainz as Administrator ?

Do you wait for Taddaemon to finish before you shut your PC down ? If you 'force finish' it are you doing so cleanly ?

etc., etc.

Also the TS12 CM is known to be buggy, it's best if you don't try and run Trainz while CM is still downloading - this is probably causing read/write conflicts in the database.

More questions than answers I know but but I have been running TS12 since it came out and have had no problems of the sort you describe.

Of course you could always upgrade to TANE :)
