Adding TANE.exe and/or TRS19.exe to your AV programs real time scan exclusion list can potentially resolve many of these issues by preventing the AV from accessing the Trainz database.

Perform a DBR if you have:-

• unexpected problems with missing content
• content errors with installed assets (particularly if those assets did not previously show any problems)

A DBR process updates your database, revalidates the content and can often clear up any corruption that has occurred.

1. open the Developer menu
2. select the Rebuild Database option

• An EDBR is a more complex, slower and potentially more troublesome repair process
• An EDBR puts every single asset in the database through the same error and compliance checks that are run when a new asset is installed
• Perform a EDBR if you have serious problems with your database that a DBR does not fix

It is not unusual for Content Manager to display a list of faulty assets after an EDBR that were not shown as faulty before the EDBR was run

1. open the Developer menu
2. hold down the Ctrl key
3. select the Rebuild Database option

This process will create a new Trainz database containing only the built in and base assets that came with the original Trainz installation (a "clean" database). Use this option if you want to remove from your Trainz install all:-

• DLS assets
• DLC assets - these will have to be reinstalled if you want them back
• third party assets
• assets you have created yourself (e.g. routes, sessions, etc) - but make sure that you have the original data files backed up somewhere

Your original database will not be affected and will remain in its current location until you choose to delete, move or restore it.

1. use Windows File Explorer to create a new folder on your data drive (D: if you have one, C: if you don't)
2. give the folder a meaningful and easy to remember name such as TRS19_Clean_Database
   

1. click the Trainz Settings button
2. click the Install tab
3. write down the location of the Local Data Folder - you may need it again!
4. click the button [...] next to the local folder display name
5. browse to your new data folder created in Step 1: Create a Container above
6. select (click on but do not open) your new data folder
7. click the button [Select folder]
8. close any open File Explorer windows

You will see a progress bar as the built in assets are copied across to the new folder.

1. restart Trainz when you are prompted to do so
2. open the Trainz Settings again and click the Internet tab. In TRS19 SP3 the Internet tab has been renamed to MyTrainz
3. delete and re-enter your username and password
4. when your username/password have been accepted, restart Trainz again
5. open the Trainz Settings again and click the General tab
6. adjust the settings to your preferred values
7. click the Performance tab and adjust the settings to your preferred values
8. exit Trainz Settings. Depending on which settings you have changed, you may be prompted to restart Trainz again
9. click on Start Trainz

You will be prompted to download any DLC assets that you may have previously purchased. You can install them now or delay their install until later.

Your original database is still on your system at the location you recorded in Step 2 above. You may choose to:-

• leave it there (it will take up many GBs of space)
• archive or move it to offline storage
• delete it
