I didn’t know where else to put this!but for some reason, Blackwood Creek Revised is refusing to load: it just gets stuck on the loading screen. Can somebody please tell me how to fix this gltich?

I have the revisited version on my computer and the first time I loaded it it took forever to load the first time but after that it loaded like normal. How long did you wait and I know they are not all alike but what's typical for you?

If I'm honest, it used to load like normal for me too. It's only recently that this started happening. I'm not sure how long I waited but it felt like hours to me

In that case I suggest you delete the route and re-install. Something is probably messed up. If you have TSTools you can run the check route and it should tell you what is amiss.

The Blackwood Creek Workshop loads normally. Both of the later versions CTD when loading on a scenario or editor. I found several issues using ST-Tools but I do not know how to interpret or correct those issues.
mindenjohn is confused about this as well. It must be something that was changed during the update.

Well after restarting I tried to load it again, and it was loading for a while. Then for no reason, this message appeared. Thing is I looked in the dev folder and said shader actually is there. So I've no idea what's going on

Since the last DTG update of the game I can't load it and many others can't either and it s not just this DLC but a number. The consensus among those better equipped (mentally and kit wise) than I is that the last update doesn't recognise some scripts in the original. I have looked into it, confused myself, gone round in circles and got nowhere. I know American Steam has also been looking into it. I am sorry to say that certainly for now the route doesn't work and there seems that it will remain that way unless someone with programming skills beyond me can sort out what is causing the issue(s).
The "fault" lies in something I did as the original Lt. Bligh version works.
One day I might revise it again but not soon as I have numerous projects on the go, sorry.

A note that may be of interest is that the route loads fine for me (re-visited version) and I am on TSC version 78.1a. 64bit.

I'm on v77.6b I've kept away from 78 following these problems, maybe they cured it. I'll take a look. Thanks Buzz

In that case, could you please tell me if it’s possible to revert updates? If so, how would it be done?

Buzz you might have an asset that others do not. As sometime happens some have required assets in their railworks that are missing in other installations or not included with the download. I have seen a few of these over the years. Using version 77.6b Just loaded BETA 78.1a and still CTD.

Why is it looking for your D: drive? This is the same error that I get in Logmate. It must be a corrupted file someplace.

That's not an error: it's looking in there because that's the drive I installed TS onto, it has more space than my c drive
