Problem with openBVE
« on: July 03, 2013, 02:24:31 pm »
Hello All,
When I play any high quality route, (my computer can handle it) it shows 50fps, 50fps,50 fps then 1 through 10fps.
Like it freezes as I am driving it, drives flawlessly for 2 seconds then stops then continues, faster I go the more these glitches happen.

Is it fixable?
Thanks

To load objects in advance can smooth FPS.
Go to openBVE program folder, edit file options.cfg with this
LoadInAdvance = true

I hope this may help you.

Is that the exact file name? I cannot find it in the folder. I am having the same problem and hope this will help.  Thanks.

Unfortunately it didn't improve my fps at all :)
That cfg file is located the UserData folder. Hope this helps.

I do not have any files (just folders) in my userdata folder. Could that be part of my problem?

Thanks.

probably some anomaly with your computer's hardware then. the default settings for OpenBVE work fine with my computer. do you mind providing a list of routes that causes your computer to hiccup like you say it does?

It was the A-Lefferts Shuttle. I say was because I just tried it to be sure I had the right name and now it works great. I did notice that ATS was off so I do not know if that was a cause of the problem.

Thanks.

no, that should not be an issue. also, the lefferts shuttle should be the last route giving you problems, since that is a gen-2 route....

Speaking of generations, I tried a new train on the F to Jamaica route. It was the R160. WOW is that different. I have been mostly using the R1. The R1 goes to P3 and B3. The R160 goes to P3 and B6! And the P and B symbol is in the same place, unlike the R1 which has a place for each. Increasing the brake reduces the power and increasing the power reduces the brake. It just takes some getting used to. I'm going to try more trains to see what they are like.

BTW, no matter what side the station is on the right doors open on that route. Must be a bug somewhere.

I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying OpenBVE. I grew up in NYC and rode the subways a lot. I remember the BMT cars had 3 folding doors where the subways have 2 sliding doors now. I am probably dating myself!!  LOL  They were kind of like a trolley car. Man, that is ages ago!

I hope there is more work being done on OpenBVE. I wish I could program so I could help. I believe I saw somewhere it is done in C#. Never used that language. I am very interested in the multiplayer and training classes. On the routes I see various signs that I have no idea what they mean. This is a very interesting and educational simulator plus a lot of fun. I'm going to try the arcade driving mode to see what that is about.

It's a command in the route coding. When developers coded older generation routes, not as much attention was payed to which side the doors opened on because OpenBVE was relatively new, and since not many people operated with the camera for the exterior view, you couldn't really see which side the doors were opening on anyway. But now, since OpenBVE is pretty much the default program, all new generation routes are developed with care regarding which side the doors open on at stations.

Thank you for the explanation.  I noticed it because of which symbol lit up at the bottom of the screen. I've learned to keep my eye on all the symbols so I know what is happening. Probably typical for a newbie!! LOL
