Adding Any Custom Stuff Crashes SMR

[McBarnacle]

Hi all,

OK, I am having an issue where adding anything to my custom assets folder results in SMR CTDing but only in certain situations.

It doesn't matter what I add, be it maps, locos, logos, etc, it will result in a CTD.

But only if I play one of the pre-included scenarios. The game won't CTD if I play a custom map.

Removing the custom stuff from my custom assets folder results in SMR not crashing any more.

I have the game set to XP SP 3 compatibility mode and have the 3GB enabler installed. My game, though, is installed on my F drive with the user data being stored in my D drive - not sure if that causes the issue.

If anyone has any ideas why this is happening I'd appreciate it.

Many custom XML files override the standard XML files of the included scenarios - so crashes are almost inevitable.

The solution is very simple. Just keep the Custom Assets folder empty always, and remove any custom map from UserMaps to a separate folder (NOT Custom Assets) when you want to play one of the included scenarios.
