Hello @normada, This is not really a bug as the wagon and engines "thumbnails" images are generated 100% "by hand". Since I don't have the source code of Train Simulator (of course) I can't generate assets thumbnails dynamically like TS can do from 3D model data. Every thumbnail image you see were generated by hand by going to the TS consist editor, capturing the whole screen into an image and this image was edited in photoshop in order to remove the background and such things. This is a very long process as you can imagine, more than 1500 images was done this way and this was hours and hours of repetitive and tedious work However in the future I would like to add some kind of collaborative database so RWE 2 users can upload there own images (with some tutorial on how properly doing it). With this system RWE 2 players will be able to contribute to add more images and those images will be added into RWE 2 updates regularly. Hope you understand this limitation

Hello @KodiakJac, Try to launch TrackIR software in administrator mode under windows, this should solve every issues

La mise à jour 0.8.4.0 est maintenant disponible. Une mise à jour de maintenance régulière alors que de nouvelles fonctionnalités sont encore en cours de développement Joyeux Halloween à tous et à bientôt pour une nouvelle mise à jour CHANGELOG:

Update 0.8.4 is now available. A regular maintenance update while new features are still being developed. Happy Halloween everyone and see you soon for another update CHANGELOG:

I was thinking to display the whole consists list here (where is the red arrow) as soon as a route is selected and add all required filters there and then if the user is also choosing an engine (with the button below route selection) it will only display consists that use the selected engine. @RobertNL, what do you think of this idea ?

Hello @RobertNL, This is a good idea, will try to find a good way to implement this in next RW Enhancer 2 version.

Issue is reported as solved by private message. @Liam Mcilroy Could you tell me how you fixed the issue by private message so I can see if I can do a proper fix for this so it won't happen to another user ? Thanks

If you are using the Vulkan renderer you need to click one time on the screen for the RWE 2 HUD to appear this is "normal" at the moment and mentioned in the wiki: https://wiki.rwenhancer.com/doku.php?id=core:vulkanrenderer#compatibility_important_notes

Hello @Liam Mcilroy, I have sent a private message to you so I can deploy a fix for your crash.

Hello @Posisnicu, You can find some presets here: https://www.rwcentral.com/files/category/82-shaders-presets/ and here: https://www.rwcentral.com/files/category/39-rw-enhancer-pro-presets/ (RW Enhancer PRO preset can be used in RW Enhancer 2)

@Scip It seems that you can manually download the update here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5018496 (second link: KB5018496)

This is not the relevant update. The update that contains the fix is the KB5018496.

If the update is not available for you yet, just wait a bit more, it should definitely be available very soon for everyone. Windows updates are not deployed at the same time for everyone

A new Windows 11 update is available, the KB5018496 update is now available (or will be very soon as it is distributed gradually). You can now update windows by going in the "windows update" section. This update is fixing the SSL/TLS protocol issues that were preventing RWE 2 azure speech engine for working properly. More information about this windows update here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/october-25-2022-kb5018496-os-build-22621-755-preview-64040bea-1e02-4b6d-bad1-b036200c2cb3 I assume that the windows 10 update should be out very soon too.

Hello @Scip, This fix is not available yet for Windows 11 2H22 (for a mysterious reason...) but it should be released soon. I have that confirmation from Microsoft. The fix you are mentioning "We fixed an issue that affects the Microsoft Azure Active Directory" is unrelated and does not affect the speech service used by RW Enhancer 2. Do not waste some time by trying to uninstall/reinstall RWE 2, it entirely up to Microsoft to fix everything now, you just have to wait (not for a long time now)

Bienvenue sur RW Central @Viglaincentre

Bravo @BB67400 et merci pour la mise à disposition sur RW Central

All reports I have received of this issue was in the end caused by anti-virus softwares that were perturbating the communication process between RWE 2 and Train Simulator. Please disable your anti-virus (at least make an exception rule for both RWE 2 and TS), you can also make an exception rule for Windows defender.

Hello @DecrepitTSfan, There is nothing much required to do RW Enhancer 2 is 100% independent from RWE Pro. Here is my personal recommendation for the installation process. 1- Make a back of TS assets directory as recommended. 2- Export the current shaders preset in RWE PRO so you can restore your personal settings in RW Enhancer 2. 3- Install RW Enhancer 2 4- Import RWE Pro shader preset (exported earlier) in RW Enhancer 2 5- You can now uninstall RW Enhancer PRO if you want to. Not mandatory but with RWE 2 installed, RWE Pro become useless If you have any more question feel free to ask !

@Loufreisfreeway What is your version of windows ?

Hello @andrewathome, can you tell me which anti-virus / security software you are using on your computer ? Thank you

Hello, @462 Don't panic ! It will be fixed I just learned that the fixes made by Microsoft are not distributed trough automatic windows update (yet). You need to manually download and install the fix for now. Here is the download page for windows 10: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5020435 Here is the download page for windows 11: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5020387 You need to choose the correct one according to your current windows version. If you need some help please contact me by private message. Alternatively you can wait for the fix to be included in the next official windows update which should be released in a week or two. Thanks to Microsoft for their unstable updates since some weeks now... In any case, don't panic, the issue is clearly known by Microsoft and everything will get back to normal very soon

@462, you are right, Microsoft updates are quite badly tested right now hopefully it will improve in the future. You can update windows in "Parameters": https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/update-windows-3c5ae7fc-9fb6-9af1-1984-b5e0412c556a#WindowsVersion=Windows_10 If you have not disabled updates, it should update automatically in the next few days Be aware that sometimes, the update can take some hours/days to appear (Microsoft are distributing updates gradually).

Microsoft has released two patches for Windows 10 and Windows 11 21H2. (see: https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-confirms-october-patch-tuesday-has-network-issues-on-windows-11-windows-10-more/) The patch for the latest windows 11 major version (22H2) is not released yet but should be out very soon.

We just need to wait the next windows patch from Microsoft, this has been confirmed as fixed by MS devteam in the next upcoming windows update. Here is the answer to this issue report from Microsoft:
