Title: Crashes on Win 10 64 bit
Post by: b10alia on January 11, 2018, 02:33:23 AM
Hello,
I have been playing Simutrans for several years now, first time posting on the forums. I am having a problem with launching the game-- it crashes immediately once it launches. I don't know exactly when the game stopped working; I know it worked on this machine back in June when I played it last. It seems like a lot of the folks on Steam are having issues as well. I've tried reinstalling and compatibility mode settings for all of the available options but it still will not launch. Current install is 120.2.2 r8163, downloaded from this site through Sourceforge.

System Specs:
Windows 10 64bit
i5-2400, 8GB RAM, game installed on drive with ~500GB free space
NVIDIA 1050Ti

Is this a known issue, and is there a fix?

Try one of the nightly builds.

Both Simutrans and Simutrans Extended run perfectly on Windows 10 64bit. That is the OS I use so I have tested this extensivly.

Since Simutrans's executable is not signed, one will have to instruct Windows Defender that it is safe to run which requires one using the details pulldown on the security warning.

There is a release planned some time in the future, so the nightly builds are probably more stable than the last release lol.

DrSuperGood, completed pending system update on my Windows 10 PC. Now as I will open Simutrans it only loads a black screen on startup and gradually crash itself. Any solution? Additionally, I already tried an uninstall and reinstallation but doesn't seem to work anyways.

Edit: Today I installed the latest version of Simutrans (120.2.2 r8163) and it's working smooth again :)

Is it the GDI or the SDL version that causes problems for people?

Try the latest release version, released a few weeks ago.
