    I'm not arguing with your arguments; we're in the same boat. I just wanted to say that there's no need to worry about the game. It's a shame, but what can you do about it?

    What comes across is that you don't expect much. A cardinal rule of life is if you don't ask, you don't get.

    And, with a company that charges $40-50 a route and yet makes so many mistakes, it's important to ask questions, and then ask again and again, even if we're not sure they're listening.

    For me the priority is not the PIS, rather it's the save game problem on GWE-R and the omission of Raildriver support on the Czech and other recent routes. But for those people who are frustrated by the PIS bug, they should be complaining long and loud.

    Well it's been a disappointing week. First the delay to NY- Stamford, and now a rather meh patch.

    And everything comes in 3's..........

    Problem is a lot of us forget what was supposed to be fixed and never did get fixed even though you read that DTG had been sent fixes by developers months/years ago.
    Wonder if there is a thread(or should there be one), “promised fixes over the years that we are still waiting for”?

    What I find hilarious is this"

    "
    • As a note on mastery posters, our teams are currently investigating an improvement to navigation on the mastery poster UI menu"
    Wdym "currently investigating"? What needs investigating? The problem is pretty damn obvious. There's more posters than fits on the screen but no scroll function. It's obvious what needs to be done. A scroll function needs to be added

    And with the next patch something else breaks etc... it's a problem with many versions of the same etc, everything loads the system, I still don't understand why rail vehicles can't be independent elements, like in the case of some DLCs, there's not always one given model from a given version that would have fixes and updates. Today we have several Dostos driving cars, each with different bugs etc, and that's the case with everything ....... several BR143, BR 146 etc ....... today it turns out that layering over additional maps will also be one of the elements that causes problems with performance, memory etc ..... it was allowed to go too far, and the question is whether it can be reasonably fixed in its current form.
    With the arrival of the new region Czech Republic, no system changes will probably happen and the same thing will start happening........it doesn't matter now, maybe in a few years or after a few addons or maps we will be at the same point of decomposition

    Which is ironic because even Wonders of Sodor has released in a buggy and unfinished state...

    I thought I would see more on this list:
    • 802 Switchover Issue
    • 170 Sound Updates (What keeps keeping this)
    • ATS MAC updates
    • 220 EB
    • 220 Cab Light
    just to name a few. Glad to get a patch (though none of them apply to me) but was hoping for more.

    Yes, don't worry. It is not just you!!

    I feel like a right mug for all the money I have given them over the last couple of years. At the start I didn't know any better, but no excuses after I wised up a bit and still kept handing over the cash.

    Haven't played the game in a while now, due to all the issues and I know these things are never getting fixed, but I still get excited about every patch, thinking this will be the day they turn it all around....

    Considering March was earmarked as being the month where major game improvements were going to be trialled this patch feels disappointing.

    Haven’t updated yet but no doubt it’ll will break more than it fixes.

    I really like the update of the of e94 088, the pantograph animation is super nice! But no update for the bogies of the class 86. Almost a year after it's release. Maybe soon when Just trains new doc will be released.

    The ATSF c40-8w has now a wiper bug so I refunded this dlc, but the update is a big improvement.

    The 3d model of the wiper in front of the engineer is broken. I noticed it in the first 2 seconds. I have no screenshot of it, but it's probably visible on YouTube.

    If you want things to move forward, do as I do: don't buy until it's perfect. DTG might be able to help you.

    They finally decided to fix something on the Harlem Line. So why not fix more?
    M7a is overpowerful.
    M7a speedometer sometimes stuck with "overspeed" status.
    AI sometimes stuck at signals - when the signal changes AI continues meditate with the status "stop signal".

    So the performance is still broken (introduced by another update a week ago) and the PIS thing still not fixed?
    Extremely disappointing!

    Just 6 months until TSW7 then all above will probably be resolved. Oh and as for them only just finding out about the PIS issue, nah, I smell BS there I'm afraid

    There was no gaslighting or "they". One person erroneously said the 17th, another person corrected that. Honest whoops that happens sometimes.

    I'm begining to think there are people in life who never make mistakes (or think they don't).

    As the saying goes, to err is human but to really mess things up you need a computer.

    I would submit that we're actually going to be seeing more substantial patches and bugfixes over the next couple of months. Why? Because of the end of the mad stampede to get product out the door by the end of the fiscal reporting year on March 31. Expect a slowdown in DLC, but - hopefully - more focus on fixing what's broken.

    That is, until the mad ruch to get TSW7 out....

    Sorry but that's BS. Harry wasn't wrong when they said the 17th. If release was always scheduled for the 19th, which was mentioned in today's article as being the case, the update was absolutely scheduled for the 17th.

    Then "something" happened that caused a delay for the preview and update, which is fine, and happens, but then Jan was like, "there was no delay, we never said the 17th", which is the very definition of gaslighting!

    It's

    I saw the Acela was updated so I figured that they FINALLY addressed the bug that has been with it since day 1 - where the tractive effort in cruise control is always max no matter what you set the throttle at.

    Nope. Still broken. Exceeding 3 years now that they haven't fixed this basic bug that they've been aware of since release day.

    Still no update for the Birmingham Crewe gameplay issues (red signals/stuck AI trains). I've (not bought it yet - I'm holding out). Or the broken announcements on the Class 805 which I have bought. Very disappointing. I've not touched TSW for about a month now.

    That’s why I mentioned the 380 and a few other items earlier, but got flamed for my trouble. As I said the Feedback threads and Troubleshooting forum is full of issues. At least the SimRail devs actually go on their forum and note when an issue is reported what the status is and whether it is regarded as an actual issue. They then actively come along and close it once the fix is delivered. Little wonder I’m currently sitting here dreaming about Transport Fever 3!

    I called it on the December roadmap stream.

    When they were talking about blurry textures I commented that it sounds like we are several months away from any fix best to hope its with TSW7.

    And Matt cut Alex off and quotes my comment by saying no, it cannot and will not take that long.

    Well I still stand by what I said we are several months away except now I don't think it will be fixed until TSW8 minimum.

    So instead of Harry being mistaken about the 17th being specified, Jan was mistaken about the 17th not being specified? Different person, same whoops.

    Not even close to the "very definition of gaslighting", BTW. Gaslighting is entirely malicious, a form of manipulation seeking to control people's thinking by making them question what they believe to be real. On the other hand, insisting again and again that a simple miscommunication is gaslighting in order to sell an agenda of bad intent is itself a lot closer to gaslighting.
