Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #1 – September 15, 2010, 05:54:02 pm Wearth,thank you for the report. This problem is usually cured by deleting settings-experimental.xml in your /My Documents/simutrans folder or equivalent. As to the installation instructions - the eventual aim is to have fully automated installers for the main platforms, but it's only worthwhile doing that when the thing is working well, and there are still a number of issues to work on in that respect first; but one day!Do let me know how you get on.

Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #2 – September 16, 2010, 02:54:47 am Yes!That seemed to do the trick .........Never realised settings and save files were saved globally now. Always wondered why they weren't deleted with the rest W Quote Selected

Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #5 – September 18, 2010, 10:26:54 am No error message. I have a tendency to be to fast with my trackball. And it crashes on that. Same with "vanilla" 102.2.2 Britain and 128 normal. It is nothing above the normal amount of crashes I have experienced over the many years that I have had Simutrans so I never really take notice!

Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #6 – September 18, 2010, 10:34:37 am Hmm, interesting - I hardly get any crashes, and, when I do, I normally track down and fix what causes them. Quote Selected
Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #7 – September 18, 2010, 11:06:19 am Ok, my games usually crash once or twice if I play four hours or so. Not on a really annoying level and I save a lot (no autosave). So nothing to complain about really. Quote Selected
Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #8 – September 18, 2010, 09:20:54 pm Hmm - even if it doesn't bother you, it may well bother others. Do you notice that you are doing anything in particular or if anything happens just before the crash? Quote Selected
Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #9 – September 19, 2010, 10:02:14 am It usually involves me clicking to fast and once or twice to much on the same object that freezes it. It does have a tendency to happen if at that same moment a message pops up or autosave starts up. Quote Selected
Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #10 – September 19, 2010, 11:02:31 am Hmm, interesting: I've never had that. That sounds like a problem that is likely to be equally present in Standard. What system do you use (OS, hardware, etc.)? Quote Selected
Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #11 – September 19, 2010, 11:33:35 am Toshiba Satelite 1001 gb Ram1.73 ghz dual coreVista Home Basic I am pretty convinced the problem is the amount of Ram! It kinda kills other software as well when I open to many applications at the same time.I also like huge maps 1800*1000 approx although nowadays I start with 64*64 and use the "enlarge map" functionNo money to buy more Ram though.

Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #12 – September 19, 2010, 11:36:24 am Ahh. That combination does sound as if it will stress your system rather a lot. Strictly, that shouldn't cause crashes, though; but it does suggest that the problem is specific to your setup, rather than general. Quote Selected
Re: Error when starting Simutrans exp 8.2 Reply #13 – September 20, 2010, 01:49:58 pm It stresses me out a lot too! I know I should at least double the RAM, because of Vista, but no finances at the moment. Quote Selected
