Peterborough Loader version keeps freezing 09/05/2017 at 21:48 #94998

I have been happily playing the Loader version of Peterborough since it's recent release and have got as far as 20.50 without any problems (apart from the ones caused by me, of course). Great sim by the way. However, today I have just reloaded the 20.50 Snpshot, but the program freezes if I attemp to scroll either left or right when trying to use the scroll arrows. Using the scroll bar seems to be ok.
I have attached the 20.50 saved game and would like one of the experts out there to try it on their computer to see if they get the same result. I'm wondering if any of my system files has got corrupted??
I am using Loader version 4.6.3 and the sim is the 2003 timetable which came with the recent Peterborough release.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Update:
I have just found that the same thing is happening with other Loader sims, mamely Kings Cross and Feltham. Suggestions?? Perhaps reinstalling the system files??

Download first! System Files, SimSig System Installer.

Could we have the full specifications of your system. Including the graphics driver version.

I doubt reinstalling the system files will help but please do try it in the first instance.

I have just downloaded and installed the system file 4.6.3 again and the sim now appears to be working ok. Can't think what would have caused all this bother. Just one of those unexplained computer glitches I suppose.
I wondered why you asked for the specifications of my system as everything has been working fine since I bought the computer from Dell in June last year. For the record I have a Dell Inspiron 5559 15" laptop with an AMD Radeon R5-M335 4GB DDR3 graphics card, 256GB SSD, 1TB hard drive and have two external monitors connected - makes for much less scrolling and I get into much less of a pickle.
As a matter of interest, did anybody run the saved game? If you did, I wouldn't be surprised if it worked perfectly.
Oh blast. I've left the sim runnig whilst typing this. Got some problems to sort out before going to bed!
Thanks for the help.

Bugsy, your saved game was loaded and it ran without any noticeable problems.

Just as I thought. Ah well. You could say that all's well that ends well.

Thanks again
