SD70ACe (DLC Payware from Steam) Not Showing Up

[buzz456]

The default not being there is probably the problem.

The Default folder and also Heritage folder exists with lots of subfolders and files. However, it still does not show up in the game, only in the menu and preview image. The same goes for the Wide Nose CN SD40. Well, I'm gunna try the files you sent to me and purrhaps it might fix the issue. :) Meowz. ^^

PS: Buzzy, even with your files, the same error window appears like in the first page. I am lost of further ideas how to fix it.

So, to sum this up: All files necessary are present in the asset folder. There is a preview image of both liveries (UP and Rio, however no CSX even though there is a folder for CSX as well). The verification seems to be correct. It's even selectable in the right menu of the scenario editor, but then it cannot be selected from the left menu to actually place the consist or just the loco itself. When you load any scenario, it just doesn't load and the track is empty.

The same happens with the CN Wide Nose add-on, however RSC has cunfirmed a bug, so yeah ... what's the bug here then? Buzzy sent me his version of the files (because they work for him), and even with his files it doesn't work for me. Funny enuff, it also doesn't work for others, same with the Wide Nose.

At this point I would have to guess this problem has to do with the security they build into their files which interact with the Steam system. One of the hash files is wrong? The fact that it is working for some people and not others even when the files and folders are laid out identically between the working and broken systems opens the possibility that something external to RW is interfering with it. This means that software like Anti-virus, system repair/cleaners are suspect because they can alter files, or block them from being written to.

I had a case with the software I write for my company where McAfee was looking at one of our database files as we wrote to it. It never flagged the file as being infected or that something suspicious was happening, it was simply doing its job. Unfortunately it kept our file open too long and too often and the end result was a defective database. In the end we had to include our files in their white list.

I don't use any Antivirus right now, exactly to check if it has to do with an antivirus. It's the same, with or without antivirus.
