Game won't go past creating map – Train Fever /forums/topic/game-wont-go-past-creating-map/feed/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:11:08 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.13 en-US /forums/topic/game-wont-go-past-creating-map/#post-4851 <![CDATA[Game won't go past creating map]]> /forums/topic/game-wont-go-past-creating-map/#post-4851 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 15:55:55 +0000 Lone Wolf Very disappointed that my $30+ investment in this game is unable to be played.

I can start the game and tell it to create a new map.  It goes thru the progress bar of all the various items it creates and gets to 100%, then the screen fades to black and I don’t see anything else – music keeps playing, but nothing happens.

I have updated to the latest drivers for my video card, but that didn’t change anything.

Below are my system specs from DXDiag.  I can post the whole thing if that would help…

You’ll see a noticeable notification on the bottom right corner. While compressing the textures windows could run into a timeout, that means the window is shown as “not responding”. Regardless of this fact, just wait a couple seconds longer.

Similar problem for me. After loading the map (including the first time texture compressing) it shows the above screen.

Graphic card is a Radeon HD 5870. Drivers are up to date.

The game freezes and the screen shows exactly as the screenshot in the above post.

PC specs:

  • AMD Phenom II X4 965
  • GeForce GTX 275
  • 16 GB Ram
  • Win 7 64bit

The game ran fine until a few days ago. What i can say, nothing on the system changed except the regular Windows updates. Updated the GeForce drivers after getting this problem but it didn’t solved it.

The game runs fine on my PC with AMD FX8350, R9 280X (temporarly with a HD5770 due to Graphic card failure but still works) and 16GB Ram, Windows 10.

Any idea on how to solve this problem is welcome.

I see you both use Radeon cards. The behavior you describe is known to be caused by 3rd party software like AMD´s Raptr Software or the Gaming Evolved App. You might deactivate them before starting the game.

i’m affraid you didn’t read my post correctly since i clearly stated that the PC with the problem uses a nVidia GeForce GTX275. Also none of the mentioned Apps are installed on the affected PC.

Also Fists post is one year old… 😉

You are right of course, I missread your post. Sorry! I will talk to the developers and come back to you later!

Tom

PS: Thanks for pointing that out. As it was on the same day, I assumed the same year 🙂

About the date of Fists post, also felt on this one. Thanks for your time, appreciate it.

That way it is easier to include the developers into the process for finding a solution.

Thank you!
