Known Issues

This page is a work in progress to document more prominent known issues in Railroader.

Resetting Preferences

If your preferences (resolution, UI scaling, other settings) get into a bad state that prevents you from interacting with the menu screen, they can be reset. Resetting preferences will not delete your save games, but it does clear other settings such as custom key bindings, window positions, and audio levels.

Please follow these instructions exactly and ask for help if you aren’t confident. The Registry Editor is a powerful tool.

1. Close Railroader.
2. Open the Registry Editor:
   • Hit the Windows key and type “Registry Editor”.
   • Click or hit enter to open the Registry Editor.
3. In the Registry Editor, open following folders in order:
   • HKEY_CURRENT_USER
   • Software
   • Giraffe Lab LLC
4. You will now see the Railroader folder in the Registry Editor.
5. Delete the Railroader registry folder:
   • Right click on the Railroader folder.
   • Click “Delete”.
   • Click “Yes” to confirm.
6. Close the Registry Editor.
7. Re-run Railroader.

Crash During Gameplay (RR-133)

A small percentage of players have encountered issues with Railroader crashing during a game session. The timing of this issue varies; for most it occurs after a few hours of gameplay.

You can recognize this crash by checking the player.log. Near the bottom you will see lines similar the following:

D3D11: Failed to create RenderTexture (1928 x 1080 fmt 9 aa 4), error 0x8007000e
D3D11: Failed to create RenderTexture (1928 x 1080 fmt 9 aa 1), error 0x8007000e
D3D11: Failed to create RenderTexture (1928 x 1080 fmt 19 aa 4), error 0x8007000e

We aren’t certain what causes this crash and its rareness on most hardware has made the source difficult to track down. It appears to be some combination of Unity and/or graphics driver interaction.

If you have difficulty running Railroader again after the crash, some players have had success with a combination of the following:

• Reboot your computer.
• Restart the Graphics Driver using Win + Ctrl + Shift + B.
• In some cases players have reported needing to reinstall their graphics driver.
