There’s no RAILROADS.EXE.

Game plays for a couple of hours, then crashes to desktop. Loading the auto-saved game results in a crash within a minute. I am running the ‘patched’ EXE (with > 2gb addressing enabled) but that’s not preventing it.

However, when the game crashes, the Railroads process (observable from Task Manager) is showing close to 1gb of RAM being used. Every time it gets close to this is when the crash happens.

I don’t understand these systems well, but it seems like the patch etc. is geared towards expanding the available RAM from 2gb to 3gb or more. I and presumably others like me are getting crashed out at 1gb consistently. I see a similar message from kvil last year, but don’t know if it got resolved for him.

It says copy railroads.exe to this folder. WHAT FOLDER? The download didn’t come with a folder, it just added the 7 applications.

I put all the download applications and railroads.exe into a new folder, but when i run startme.bat it says lnk1104: fatal error cannot open “railroads.exe” even though its in the folder. what do i do?

Is there a fixed version, and if so is there a link for it?

AFAIK, you need to play SMR on one single core (process) for better stability. Tried it a while ago, and it works well but! not perfect.

Still gonna crash once in a while, mostly when you have more stuff running on the rails.
