System.NullReferenceException at Orts.Viewer3D.Processes.LoaderProcess.Load (Portugal79)

I am using Carlo's CircuitBreaker_IT on an electric locomotive for more than a year and it always worked well.

Last week cjakeman showed me a way to start Or via bat file command code, like the one bellow, in this case an explore route:

START /B "" "C:\Jogos\OR_NewYear_MG98\RunActivity.exe" -start -explorer "C:\Jogos\Train Simulator\ROUTES\CPV_PT79\PATHS\lisboa-porto1a.pat" "C:\Jogos\Train Simulator\TRAINS\CONSISTS\CP2601+rapido1HV79.con" 12:00 1 0

What I've found out is that loading the simulation either explore route mode or timetable mode this way (bat file), the circuit breaker is immediatly closed after raising the pantograph, meaning it's working in "manual" mode. Log file file shows that the necessary libraries for the script are not loaded.

I tested this in both 98.1 and 97 NewYear_MG. It also happens when resuming a saved explore or tivetable run.

I really need OR to open correctly via bat file, otherwise I do not know how to fully control the circuit breaker without the script.

Testing in current X1.3.1-358, starting with the menu.exe

starting X1.3.1-358 with the bat file:

"C:\Jogos\Open Rails\RunActivityLAA.exe" -start -explorer "C:\Jogos\Train Simulator\ROUTES\CPV_PT79\PATHS\lisboa-porto1a.pat" "C:\Jogos\Train Simulator\TRAINS\CONSISTS\CP2601+rapido1HV79.con" 12:00 1 0

Problem solved.

bat files need to be placed in the same folder than Openrails.exe
