"drive a steam train" crashing.

Ardbug · 06-21-2011, 10:11 AM

I get a "unable to initialise phys-x" error message pop up when I press start on the launcher, is there a way to disable phys-x entirely ?

Then when I try to start a tutorial or a regular game level, it loads for a few seconds then there is a "gong" sound, and I get a message "something bad happened to your game bla bla" and it writes a dump that I cant read in notebook.

I have verified the game files, and restarted my PC, and I tried lowring the settings, but I still get the gong of death when loading.

Any ideas ? because I cant find any official forum, so I cant see if others have this problem as well, if you do know the link to their forum then please share.

Try to reinstall phys-x. That might work out, at least it did when I had the same problem with Railworks.

There isn't a official forum, as far as i know, but between here, UKTrainsim, Railworksamerica you should get an answer to any question you have. There are a good few other Railworks forums out there as well.

Can't deny that the software has some bugs, luckily they repeat them selves and therefore are fairly easy to recognize.
