How to get Simutrans-Experimental [Deprecated]

[jamespetts]

Welcome back!

I think that Prissi must be right - I suspect that Simutrans is showing up as a possible threat because it is capable of acting as a server. The only thing to do is add an exclude rule to your anti-virus software, I think.

For your information: downloaded the complete package with the new release 11.00 from the link provided in the first post. Trying to run Simutrans-Experimental.exe I get an error message that file pthreadVCE2.dll cannot be found.

[jamespetts]

Thank you for the report - I have re-uploaded versions with this included.

[asaphxiix]

it seems that in the new 11.6, msvcp110.dll & msvcr110.dll are required rather than v100 in the previous simutrans ex.

[jamespetts]

Thank you - now re-uploaded with the correct files.

[transporter]

Just so you know, none of the Mac binary links work. I've tried with multiple version links including a couple on other threads but they all fail

[jamespetts]

Thank you - duly noted. I have asked the person who does the compiling to send me another copy so that I can host it myself.

[Bob]

I'm trying to use simutrans experimental,
but I'm missing MSVCR100.dll.
Please can you help

[jamespetts]

Install this if you are using 32-bit Windows, or this if you are using 64-bit Windows.

I have yet to work out what pre-compiled package still requires the 2010 redistributable packages...

[Bob]

Thanks
But now it says  it was unable to start (0xc0000022)
if you can help thank you

[jamespetts]

Try downloading this package for the 2012 redistributables. Also, did you copy all of the .dll files in the .zip file into your ~/simutrans directory?

[Bob]

Ive done that but when I moved all of the .dll files to /simutrans it says I cannot use it because the .dll files are missing.
And The Redistributables don't help it.

[jamespetts]

Hmm. Are you running the 64-bit or 32-bit version of Simutrans-Experimental? (The 64-bit version is simutrans-experimental-x64.exe).

[Bob]

Im Running the 32 bit Version but my computer is a 64 bit computer, I use the 64 Bit Version and it comes up with the same error

[jamespetts]

Thank you for letting me know. Can I just check: have you installed both the 2010 and 2012 MSVS redistributable packages that I linked, and installed the 64-bit versions of both?

If so, then this is a not entirely straightforward problem that will need you to install a software utility called "dependency walker" to give me the information that I need to help you to solve it. The ultimate problem is a missing .dll file, but the tricky part is trying to find out which one is missing.

[Bob]

Thanks It is working. I just needed to install the 2010 package

[jamespetts]

Ahh, splendid, glad that it is working for you now.

Just a small wish: could you put the version number in the file name, as in "Simutrans-Experimental 11.16.zip", please? We could do that ourselves, but it would save everyone who wants to keep older versions for testing or to revert to an older version a few seconds of time. Thanks!

Hi there,

Just downloaded the new experimental version, but i get the error MSVCP110.dll is missing on your computer (which runs Windows 8.1)
Do i need to get this file somewhere?
Thank you for your help.

[jamespetts]

Dave - welcome to the forum and to Simutrans-Experimental. You will need to download the Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable package, which can be found here. I hope that this helps - happy playing!

[dave]

Great! It's working now! Thanks! And for the welcome! I've been around a few years, but i forgot about that too

[jamespetts]

Splendid - glad that it is working for you.

[zook2]

Hi James, I missed the past couple of updates since 11.21 and I'm curious about what has changed since then (knowing that might help with reporting bugs or strange behavior, too). Is there a complete changelog anywhere?

[jamespetts]

The best place to look for a consolidated list of changes for release versions is the commit list on Github for the master branch.

[Vladki]

Hi I see that there is no fresh version for Linux. I have compiled latest release of simutrans-ex for myself - Linux 64-bit. If anybody is interested you can get it here: https://uran.webstep.net/~vladki/simutrans/simulinux-ex.zip

Perhaps moving it to some more official place would be better.
I can do the 32-bit verion as well, and update it when new release will be out.

[killwater]

Ahh a new release... That would be uber mega super hiper cool...  Just saying... 

[jamespetts]

I see that I have not spotted these replies for some months: my apologies. That is very helpful, Vladki, thank you.

I recently got a new, much more powerful pc with Windows 10 installed. I've installed Simutrans Standard fine, but with Experimental, it says "MSVCR110.dll" and "MSVCP110.dll" are missing even after I install MS Visual Studio 2012... any advice?

[jamespetts]

May I suggest that you install the Visual Studio 2015 redistributable packages? Recent versions have been compiled with Visual Studio 2015.

I am hoping to set up cross compiling soon, which will produce a nightly executable that does not need these downloads.

[NoMorePacers]

Thank you very much! The game runs like a dream!
