Hey TMILLER, I installed your map with SMR map shifter and the map doesn’t appear when I try to start a new scenario. It’s only the default maps. If it helps, I’m version 1.0.0 on a physical copy and it’s on Windows XP.

Very good map TMiller, thanks for your work. When i tried to launch the first time, the map crashed on launch, i tried to activate logs, etc. Finally i tried to play as investor (i was trying as tycoon) and worked great. So maybe the map just crash when you choose a more difficult mode.

Thanks all mappers and smrsimple for all your work.

Very challenging map. I loved the customs products. Great job!

Further to my last post I still find a CTD when I begin a new game with 0 AI. If I start a game with one or more AI it works and then I quit to the main menu and start a game with 0 AI…and that seems to work fine all the time.

Also, the game saves don’t seem to work but the auto saves do.

GREAT MAP!

Hey there. I had the CTD too and then I deleted the Readme.txt file from the Japan3 directory and VOILA! It’s working fine! 🙂

This is an addendum to the previous post. I forgot to mention that you can reduce the memory and CPU demands on your computer while running SMR by changing the Graphics Options you are using. Select Options from the Main Menu after starting SMR. Then go to the Graphics tab and reduce the graphics options you are using. I use the following settings and still get a nice looking result. Anti-Aliasing – none, Texture Quality – medium, Tree Density – medium, Shadow Quality – Off, and Shader Quality – medium. You can use even lower settings and see if it effects crashing. If the program runs with a large map, but the graphics look poor, then it is because you need more RAM or CPU to run the higher settings. It is worth a try.

Trainfreak, I remember when I first started playing the larger maps I had a lot of trouble with crashes, too. I spent a lot of time reading the posts in the Forum section on Technical Issues. I followed all of Jancsika’s Crashing Checklist items. I even added 2 more Gb of RAM (from 2 to 4) and an NVidia graphics card. Other things that I have done is to turn on my Microsoft Task Manager (just right click the bottom bar on desktop) and select Task Manager and click on the performance tab. Leave it on while you try to run SMR. If it crashes, look at the graphs on Task Manager of CPU and RAM usage. If they show either maxed out, then that is the problem. If not, it is something else. I also have game logging “on” and when a game crashes I check the 4 logged files. They will indicate the last thing the program attempted to do before crashing and sometimes will even say it could not find a needed file. To turn on logging… go to Firaxis Games > Sid Meier’s Railroads! > and open the Settings.ini file with Notepad. Change Logging = 0 to Logging = 1 and save the file. You can then find the logs under MyGames > Sid Meier’s Railroads! > Logs. My SMR game also crashes sometimes when some other program tries to update files, etc while SMR is utilizing a lot of CPU or RAM. As per Jancsika’s Crashing Checklist, I also increased my Virtual Memory setting to give SMR access to as much memory as possible. Granted, doing all this stuff is a bit of trouble, but once done I have been able to run most all of the maps on this site without crashes. Good Luck.
