Loading screen freezes

[Sainted Gryphon]

I've had the game for just under a week, and every time I load up the game and try to launch something, and loading screen will start, but then the white bar at the bottom will freeze, and stop loading everything.

The background music keeps playing, and windows doesn't show it as not responding, but I have been unable to load into the actual game.

If you got TS 15 during the recent sale then you may have got some corrupted/missing files. It does sometimes happen if the Steam servers are very busy.

You should try a "verify of local game files" as follows.
Click Library, games. Right click TS 15 then left click properties.
On the next screen click Local Files tab and then Verify.
Wait while it does its thing.
If you get any files missing these will be downloaded automatically. Watch for the blue loading bar across the bottom of steam page. Wait while it ends and then try TS again.

Even on a "perfect" system the loading bar can freeze (mine does it regularly) depending on how much stuff has to be loaded for each route/scenario. Just give it time to "catch" up.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this, but I already tried, and the same issues keep occuring. And yes, I did get it in the reccent sale. Do you think doing a complete uninstall and reinstall will help?

What are your system specifications?

It's not too good. It's got an AMD A-6 5200 with Radeon.

It's just a small laptop, but it runs games like skyrim and gta san andreas with no crashes, and gta iv with minimal crashes.

Processor isn't enough in the given case. What are the OS, amount of RAM?

This game is far more demanding than it may seem at a first glance. I have i7-3820, 32GB RAM, Win 7 64 bit, GeForce 780 Ti and I do have issues from time to time.

EDIT Just checked the web for your processor - it's definitely below the requirements for this sim, sorry, what about other components?
