Train Fever won't start. Windows XP 64bit is the issue here.

So as the title says I can’t start train fever.

Here is the screenshot of the message:

I tried to start it directly from the executable (TrainFever.exe) and this is what I got:

Here is my guess about the problem:

I have Windows XP – !64bit! yes 64 bit version not 32 and I think Steam installed the 64 version of Train Fever but this version isn’t compatible with windows XP but only later windowses.

I also tried veryfing the files and they are all OK.

What else can I tell you that would help?

I have now also made sure my system and drivers are up to date.

It did not help.

I missed the sticky somehow. I think it happened because it’s title is in plain black font, could you maybe change it to bright blue like other topics but make it bold maybe? I was ashemed of myself at first that I didn’t see it the most common problems post but again, now that I followed it game is still not working and behaves the same.

Windows XP 64bit is a special OS, that needs a special build.

This takes some time. We’re going to fix this soon. We’re going to add it to the changelog when it’s done.

Thank you for your answer. I kind of expected something like that as I know how rare the system I am using is. Is there even any other person using this system who purchased the game, I wonder? 😀

Anyway best wishes for you and sorry for being attention w**** and crying all over the place. I will be waiting impatiently for the fix. Cya.

I’m getting a missing .exe msg. I purchased this on steam. I am running windows 7 ultimate 64bit on an AlienWare Mx17 r4 laptop. i have tried deleting the folder and redownloading it a couple times. The .exe file is not there. I do however have a …exe.maifest file. No idea why I am missing the exe file.

I guess you’re using McAfee or AVG. While Downloading and starting the game you should deactivate the Realtime-scanner.

Hi again. I wanted to let you know that after the patch the game still didn’t run for me but I managed to make it run under Windows XP 64bit by copying all the files from Win XP 32bit installation into place where Train Fever was installed under Win XP 64bit.

I had to spend a couple of hours installing Win XP 32bit and all its updates and driver onto different partition to do that.

I don’t know how well WoW64 works on Windows XP. But if it works you could distribute the 32bit version until you have official 64bit binaries on XP.

hey,

I have exactly the same issue – I would greatly appriciate a patch of some sort rather than having to install a whole different OS to make it fixed.

thank you in advance!

I bought the game because she went on xp 32 bit after updating the game does not work started. This really is an unfair hearing from publisher
