Hi,
I made an activty and you run a CP speedster from Banff to Lake Louise on MLT's Kicking Horse Pass.
But when I click on it to run it, the game freezes and i get the send don't send message.You go into 2 sidings. I put passing paths on it.(Didn't work before i did that eighter.)You meet 3 trains. At the end you back into a siding in Lake Louise.There are no broken paths, everything looks ok.Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong?
Any help would be much apreciated.
I don't mind redoing the actvity if theres no solution, I just would like to know whats wrong.Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,A Speedster, you say?
I suppose it is a repainted Speedster.
May be it is repainted from the original Speedster without applying the Speedster fix before.
The original Speedster lacks a Description and Instruction section in its .eng file and when you run it in Explore Route, it runs fine, but in an Activity it freezes up.Addition:
I have checked it and yes it is lacking a Description and Instructions section.
Attached is a fix for the CP Speedster.Another note:
In every Activity, you get an Instruction page (F11), when this is missing, probably MSTS gets into troubles.Dick van den HovenGame freezing when trying to run activty – image 1
