random crashes have been plaguing this game for years now, so to mitigate this, i suggest a system which automatically saves your service every 5 minutes, so that if you do crash, your progress isn’t lost and you can continue with little to no setback from where you were. it would also be important that this system would be toggleable, so that if you save a different service, it isn’t overwritten through no fault of your own
There is an autosave. Every time you complete an objective during a run. That brief moment where the game freezes up? That's the game saving. Many players disable it for performance reasons, but it does exist. It's just not well implemented or documented.
thank you, i didn’t know that existed, that’s on me for not looking properly for it but also dtg for not directing people to it. how do i enable it? although i will also point out that if i read it correctly, then the autosave will load you in at the last checkpoint which would usually be at the last station, which could be miles away
Yes it's saved my skin a few times after a stupid mistake. Basically it creates a checkpoint. Though of course not so much use on longer passenger or freight runs without a stop, in which case a moving autosave would still be desirable.
