TS Content Cooker
The TS Content Cooker is a central system of RW Enhancer 2. This system is responsible of loading and processing all your Train Simulator data into RW Enhancer memory so RW Enhancer can be aware of your installed content (rolling stock, routes) and execute all other systems correctly.
This process involve processing tens of thousands of your Train Simulator assets files so depending on your content this process can take several minutes.
Please Note
The content cooker is designed to use all available CPU core to accelerate the cooking process. We are always working on cooking time improvements for futures updates.Please Note
Enhanced shaders are automatically compiled/installed during the cooking process. Your Train Simulator graphics will be enhanced right after your first cooking. After that, RW Enhancer graphics improvements are always active, even if you launch Train Simulator without RW Enhancer 2.Cooking Modes
Load/Cook TS Content
This mode is meant to be used each time you launch RW Enhancer 2.
Depending on your new installed, removed or modified content since the last launch of RW Enhancer 2, the content cooking system will scan and load more or less Train Simulator data.
The cooking process will be quite long for your first cooking, but any subsequent cooking will be quite fast.
Reset
Only use this when you have some serious issues with the cooking system or if you experience some crashes during the cooking process.
Cooking Performance Tips
- Install Train Simulator on a SSD instead of a regular hard drive.
- Install RW Enhancer 2 on a SSD instead of a regular hard drive.
- Close any performance intensive process while you are cooking.
- Do not perform performance intensive tasks while cooking (watching Youtube videos, play a game…)
