1.9W crashing clicking on trains/vehicles in depot

... sometimes! but not always it seems. I can't seem to find a rhyme or reason to it. I have a savegame attatched (forgive me if this isnt the proper file to put up, let me know what needs to be up and I'll put it up). Try sending one of my latter vehicles to the depot and clicking on them. On my machine it simply goes to the winXP crash report screen. Ive also attatched my patch .cfg file for examination.

WinXP/TTDW & 1.9w

Thanks!

I've seen it before
Isn't it like this: you buy 3 trucks, give the first 2 orders and set them on their route, then you close the depot window, open it again and then when you click on your 3rd truck, it crashes

You could select the truck through the vehicle list, not using the depot !!!

Thats pretty much it. I haven't noticed an actual 'pattern' per se, but that pretty accurately describes it. At first it was just my trains -- just one train in particular. I created an oil->power rail line from a 2 platform station connected to just one train depot. When I created the oil train it wouldn't budge. I don't know whether the engine I gave it just wasn't powerful enough to haul 3 oil tankers but it just wouldn't exit the depot. I decided to cut my costs and cut the train after repeated attempts to check the train's status resulting in.... a cash

I'll do what you recommed and see if that makes it less crash-prone

(thanx!)

All trains can pull any amout of trucks, are you sure that you had signals instaled?!?

If a train doesn't exit, then it's a signal problem, there is another train on your track and the train won't leave the depot because there are signals missing

Hmm. You know thats obviously it. I thought it wouldn't matter if the tracks were mixed behind the station, but obviously it does. This is the setup I had

==[ station platform 1 ]==\\
==[ station platform 2 ]====[ Depot ]

So train 2 obviously realizes that platform 1's train is on the tracks and refuses to come out. Duh.. Thanks for reminding me everyone

Sorry guys, its been at least 2 years since I last played TTD

But yeah, bug still there, legitimate post
