Anyone Having this problem?

[Railfan49]

I am constantly getting this error message

Something Bad Happened in your Program.Would you like to save a diagnostic File?

When this message shows up it closes the game. This is happening quite often both in route editor and scenario editor.Does anyone know what is causing this?

It is a generic error that could have any cause.
Most often it is because of a corrupted game file.
First thing to try is to run the Steam "verify local files" utility.

Ok thanks. I thought it was just my version of TS2013

By the way, don't ever bother to save a diagnostic file: RSC doesn't know how to read them anymore! Go figure!

An SBHH isn't really "fixable" since it isn't possible to know how much damage has been done. Frequently, it's possible to just wait 30 seconds or so and re-start TS; on the other hand, the safer course of action is to perform a cache verification. If the SBHH occurs during play, the last scenario save will be lost and the same goes for the last save in the editor. One way to bullet-proof the situation is to always perform two saves in a row ... I think.

I would like to see multiple saves like MSTS used to do, especially in scenario creation. maybe in train simulator 2028

When working on my SETExas route, I was getting the SBHH flag just about every time I worked on it. Seemed to happen when clicking on a scenery object or track object something that was corrupt either by down load or by placement. ?????

I've given up on the route until TS 2014 is issued and will see what happens after that.

Probably there are corrupted objects in your route or scenario.
Finding them might not be easy.
They might be assets, or some element particular to your route or scenario (tile, terrain, decal...).

The first thing to do is a verify of local files in the Steam client.
This will repair your assets (this will also reset any mod applied to Steam DLC, so make back-ups of that).
Do it until there are no more files to repair.

See if that fixes your problem. If not, you'll have to find the culprit manually. It may be a tile, a piece of scenery, a bad instruction in the scenario, etc.

The only fail-proof prevention method is versioning, i.e. saving your work to a different version at every save.
This way, when you get this kind of problem, you can roll back to an earlier version until the problem disappears.
See this thread for an example on how I do it painlessly using a script.
