Recover splash screens?

Unread postby OldProf » Mon Oct 17, 2016 12:32 pm

The TS2017 installation brought with it a new initial, main menu splash screen, but the TS2016 splash screen still showed up after I selected anything from that main menu. Last week, that older splash screen vanished and I now just see a plain grey background with the Train Simulator logo (?) in tones of grey. This is certainly not any great loss, but is there a simple way to display the opening logo behind all the menu screens?

In the folder \Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\data\textures\frontend there should be a file called background.jpg. The default size is 1920x1080. You can use any screenshot, like the one attached for example:

Thanks! I used one of my screenshots from the VNHRR route as well. Looks fine.

Yes I did get that update -- and it may be exactly what caused my problem; but it's "fixed" now, with one of my own screenshots.

Tom
In my case that latest update (58.6a) to TS 2017 resulted in me having same non-screen as you did!
background.jpg was missing from the . . .\frontend folder although the .md5 checksum file was there!
I resolved it too with one of my own pics.

Peter, I had a md5 file as well -- I just didn't know what it was. I'm happier with my own shot. Perhaps someone could come up with a way to display random images from the screenshot file?
