Railpro Assistant V 2.0

(1/6) > >>

KPack:
Hello gents,

Version 2.0 of RPA is available for download from Ring Engineering's website: http://ringengineering.com/RailProSoftware.htm.  Select "upgrade" when prompted.

Change-log (according to info from Tim Ring)
-code to support new hardware in updated HC-2
-other software changes to support future porting to Mac

It should work with the original HC-1's and HC-2's as it did before.  All changes appear to be behind the scenes.

Please report any issues here in this thread so they can be brought to Ring's attention.

I get "Not a valid Win32 Application" when trying to run it on a WinXP machine. System requirements appear to be Win7 or greater.

KPack:
Successful install on Windows 10 here.  Right off the bat I notice that RPA v2.0 has the normal Windows application "box" around it allow you to minimize the program and/or move it anywhere on the screen.  That's a welcome improvement over the previous version.

When updating it appears that my file was erased, so whatever sounds I had created or downloaded are not there.  That is easily fixed, as I have all my custom sound files ready to create into new files.  Also, my Feature Enable was erased.  An email to Ring will fix that.  I'm assuming the old personal file was incompatible with the updated RPA so it had to be deleted.

I get an error when I attempt to close the application via the "Exit Page" icon on the program.  It causes it to crash and not close correctly.  I can close the program by clicking the "x" on the box without any issues.

That is not good Kevin. I was able to test the files and they are indeed compatible. Nothing has changed in that respect so I don't know what happened when you upgraded. I can only speculate that something wasn't recognised so RPA replaced the whole storage file. I'll run some more tests and see if I can replicate what happened.

So people, I'll run some more tests but if you have anything in RailPro Assistant that you simply can't lose, copy the file "RailProAssistantStorage" (it's 32 Megabytes and has no extension) to a safe place, like a folder called "RPA Backup" on your desktop or something. In fact, it's probably a good idea to back it up anyway before upgrading. If indeed your storage file gets replaced and you lose all your stuff I might be able to help you get it back, but only if you backed the file up.

I got the crashing from the exit button or the X button. Running the program as administrator prevented the crash on exit. Seems like there might be some file system tidying up that it can't do without administrator rights. More tests. Sigh  :'(

My login information is not saving after the RPA update.  Whenever I open it I need to provide my email and password again for it to connect with RE.  Anyone else noticing this?
