Title: How to download OpenBVE (Windows users)
Post by: bve on November 27, 2012, 08:38:29 pm
I made a tutorial showcasing how to get the program (for those who don't already). Maybe some of these threads won't need to keep appearing anymore.

OpenBVE Tutorials - How to get the actual program and the NYCT D route (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU0W_uINrTU#ws)

Not bad however I think that an actual narration of you instructing people how to do it would be better than random music lol.. Still helpful

Windows 7 does work with 3D games, and the BVE games are not really 3D anyway, so that's not really a valid statement. You can get BVE 2 and 4 to work with Windows Vista and 7, it just takes a bit of messing around with files and the command prompt. And obviously openBVE works with Vista and 7 perfectly. And try not to type with Caps Lock on, since it makes everyone automatically assume you are angry.

What problems are you getting?

Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean that the problem is across every Windows 7 system. Windows 7 was released over 3 years ago. If openBVE didn't work with Windows 7, patches would have been made years ago to fix the problem.


Now, if you explain what issue you are getting with Windows 7 then perhaps we would be able to help you.

High Quality Train + High Quality Route = Lag.

Turn down your viewing/draw distance, this will help.

There's not really much you can do about lag, other than lower down the settings or better, upgrade your computer. You would need a fairly high-power dedicated graphics card and an Intel Core i5 or better for best results on high quality trains/routes.

If anyone needs the url to download openBVE, here it is:

http://openbve.shadow93.info

I'm going to see if it works properly with Windows 10, and attempt to optimize it to allow multi-threading

I am having a similar issue to oporator12, but the game doesn't even load. It shows the image of a train, and then crashes. I have an HP with windows 7. If anyone can help, that would be great. I have downloaded the highest rated version from this website, and a couple of the "fictional" routes with their suggested rolling stock.

Make sure to have OpenAL and the .NET 4.5 Framework installed. Also no need to bump an old topic.

Eh I don't mind. It was originally intended to cut down on the amount of topics anyway.
