    Hello,

    Not seen anyone else mention this, but services are recently all showing as being on foot rather than the service you are working.

    upload_2025-3-19_18-11-27.png

    I've definitely spawned in on a train and selected a service!

    I've tried a completely vanilla "modless" install and the same happens, so it's not mod related

    Any help appreciated,

    Shaun.

    Yep, definitely a recently introduced core bug. Like the blocky station PIS that seems to hit at random and being unable to click continue in Journey Mode without going back to the main menu. There seem to be more and more of these bugs creeping in and I think the game is in a worse state from this point of view than it’s been in a good while.

    Thank you both, it would have been the core update then from last week!

    Glad it’s not just me, and more importantly not mod related!

    Another one is being unable to take Steam screenshots when pressing F12, again only noticed this in the last week.

    Think yourself lucky.

    I've not even got the schedule appearing. Have had to pause the game to see it. Series X.

    I used to get it on SEHS loads back in the day, but only recently had the issue on WCMLOS, specifically on light engine runs.

    Yep, they acknowledged it a few days ago after the second to last update.

    Fix coming soon - and should also fix the much longer standing bug where it says on-foot for second and subsequent services too i'm told.

    Matt.

    I'd be happy if they fixed all the little things as well like show the correct train count in the menu and your info doesn't disappear when you remove a train

    Wow, if it actually does fix that long-standing bug, then it will be a big improvement. Good to hear from you again.

    Did you set the key binding in Steam to F12? I changed mine long ago, and I don't remember what the default is. But that is a Steam app issue, not the Game.

    The bottom slider will save a copy to your Documents folder.
    In the Game, it is CTRL+F12 or Prtsc And Photo mode saves to your documents as well as uploads to the DTG Live site.

    Unfortunately, today's update does not solve this problem...the status remains unchanged. :|

    I mean, it telling us we're on foot while in a train still beats all the times we've all loaded a service and it has *spawned* us on foot.

    Not only does the active service show as As Foot, but AP points are not written to the individual step table, such as stopping at a station, loading passengers, etc.

    I noticed that last night when calling up the timetable on Mittenwald. Normally you get the score shown next to each of the AP enabled objectives.

    Check the photo status on Steam
    I hope it will be corrected.
    Also, the total number of operations has remained at 00/00 for about three months. Thank you for your cooperation.

    Your patch didn't fix anything at all.

    It had the timetable info on for the very first timetable service I did after the patch. Since then its back to 'on foot' even after restating the game. It literally fixed it as a one off.

    PS5 btw.

    Something did change for me, whenever I save and load the game it works as intended. But everything else is still broken. I'm sure it'll be fully resolved soon.
