Very strange problem with Quick Drives

Unread postby NStrains » Thu Aug 03, 2017 3:46 pm

So this might be a tough one to solve. I had edited one of my routes (Penn Coal) so I could run Searchlight Simulations mod pack equipped units on it and after I was done, all but 6 of my routes are now gone from the Quick Drive menu. I used to have 6 pages worth now only 6 total.

I'm trying to fix this without doing the File Verification process through Steam so I don't have to go back and re-download all of my SS mod packs, weather mod, and other horn mods.

Any have any ideas? !*don-know!* !*hp*!

sounds like the "preload" folders in each of your assets my have an issue or are missing. If not them the when you Click into the "content" folder there will be a few files. Two special ones you can erase, they both start with "SDB" stands for Scenario DataBase. When you delete them and start up the sim it will create new ones by detecting all your scenarios. It may take make sometime to complete.

I do have these folders...
SDBCache.bin
SDBCache.bin.MD5

I will delete these two folders and see what happens. It shows them as modified most recently as yesterday, which is when I started having problems.

yes just delete those two files and it will rebuild them. If that doesn't correct the problem then something deeper may have happened.
