Hello!

Can you provide more details about your Operating System and describe at what stage and in what way the game does not work / run (loading / generating a new world / …)?

Thank you!

I’m almost certain it’s the GeForce 9400 GT causing the problem. The game requires a minimum of Open GL 2.2 support and your gpu only has Open GL 2.1 support maximum. Granted I’ve gotten the game to run on cards with 2.1 but with major problems even though the card was more than enough to max the game out on (in theroy). I’ll try testing it on another gpu similar to it if I can.

Thank you @jm764 for pointing that out. In fact, it is even Version 3.2 which is needed to asure that everything runs smootly.

So, @ashu, if you get an error like “OpenGL context creation failed” or any graphical glitches, this is for sure the cause of the problem.

@Tom No Problem! 😀

@ashu I did more research on the 9400 GT turns out it’s weaker than I originally thought. Here’s a link to the game’s performance (synthetic test) if you were to try and run the game at 1920×1080 resolution: http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=20506&game=Train+Fever&p_make=Intel&p_deriv=Core+2+Duo+E8400+3.0GHz&gc_make=Nvidia&gc_deriv=GeForce+9400+GT&ram=2&screenRes_width_FPS=1920&screenRes_height_FPS=1080&checkSubmit=#systemrequirements

So even if the gpu COULD run TF, it wouldn’t be near powerful enough to run it over 30 fps on more than minimum settings especially in late game maps where there are far more buildings, vehicles, people, etc to render.

Assuming your computer IS a desktop, I’d recommend upgrading your gpu to something more modern like a Geforce 610 or Radeon HD 6450 for about $45 USD if you want a cheap card that can handle the game at at least 30 fps. Personally I’d recommend you getting a Radeon R7 250 or Geforce 650 for $80-$100 USD to really enjoy the game at mid to high settings and increase your ram to 4GB (I recommend 8gb if you have Windows 64-bit and your computer supports it.)

Don’t worry about your CPU though it’s old but it should handle the game just fine. I hope this helps.
