Stops Loading?

Some people are experiencing problems loading the game using the latest update, version 1194.
This is due to old engine files not being properly initialized. You can fix this by removing these engine files by deleting them or making a backup of them and move them away.

The folder you need to do this in is (or similar to): Documents\Automation\Engines
Hope that helps!
Cheers!

Re: Stops Loading?

Had this and deleting them worked. Massive shame I have to remake my engines again. Also the cars i designed before this update don't show up in the game? Was deleting them part of the update too?

Re: Stops Loading?

The platforms were no longer compatible, and we should have deleted the engines as well, as you see it caused massive problems for people.
This is the difficult part of having an early release model like we do: you cannot guarantee backwards compatibility before the full release, things change. Never expect to be able to keep any of your models or engines! :(

Re: Stops Loading?

I went in the folder, cut out the engines and thumps, put them in a separate folder, still does the same thing. :x anything else you suggest?

Re: Stops Loading?

Did you remove them from the Automation folder entirely?

Re: Stops Loading?

sure, Zeussy
it was 4 revisions to be more exactly
the revision 2 I deleted days ago when i was building them by stages. The rev 3 was a better result of rev 2. So i deleted it.
And I made 3 tutorial engines on scenarios. The 3 first
It also count to freeze the loading (on my system).
I hope this help you guys :)
there it is:

I tried your engines and it freezes my loading too. :?
I think there is not a too much variable problem. It seems to be the same at all :? :? :?

Re: Stops Loading?

Originally i thought it was just engines with DOHC that were causing the problem but the ones you uploaded were all OHC. Also i think i had some DOHC that had no issue

Re: Stops Loading?
