I don't know what the last patch did, but now every time you hit "Quickplay" it dumps you on a platform with a black screen and no train.
Quickplay was and is, unfortunately, pointless from the start! At first, it only spit out introductions, then only scenarios or US free shunting. It's completely pointless to quickly dive into a schedule here. I would love it and use it all the time, but it's just frustrating. A country filter would also be useful at this point. It could be so great, but as it is, it's just a useless tile in the UI. It's such a shame!
It could and should be so much better. More options to filter the type of run you want. Timetable runs and not just scenarios, with the timetable run being correctly marked off if part of a Journey. Tell you what the run is before it loads, giving you the option to roll the dice again.
