Stuttgart-heilbronn Patch

shouldn't there be a stuttgart-heilbronn patch today? it was mentioned in the roadmap livestream that it would be today along with a final update regarding upcoming content

edit: forget about the patch

 

I thought that as well but nothing yet.

 

The message in the update post is mentioning this week. But I also thought it first said today, Monday.

 

I don't think we'll be getting an update for Stuttgart–Heilbronn today or tomorrow.

And according to the latest post in the DLC announcements, the final reveal is scheduled for 6 p.m. today.

 

yeah but in the roadmap stream alex clearly mention "next monday"

 

Maybe at the same time as the article they want to post this evening

 

The patch will come in January now, which I think is a good idea - give it some extra time, and be sure not to introduce any issues before everybody goes away for their holidays.

 

No way DTG lied about a patch.

Just no way.

 

But DTG announced the patch for today.
And in my opinion, that's just another excuse.

Because from now until early 2026, none of the DTG employees will be working or reviewing the patch in more detail.

The best thing would have been to release it today so that we could give DTG feedback on what works and what doesn't, which they would then already know in the new year thanks to us.

 

So real

 

All valid points and if this was my first rodeo, then I would probably buy it and say fair enough.

Unfortunately this happens time, after time, after time, so I am far less inclined to give DTG the benefit of the doubt.

 

Yeah, the patch will likely now drop late, and break stuff, AND that stuff won't ever be repaired afterwards anyway...we know how it goes by now, it's been a few years.

 

Yes, I don't know what makes a difference, when there are holidays now. The last Riviera Line patch was more than month and it broke the class 220 interior lights and AWS sounds (both are serious problems for the gameplay) - it was never fixed. I'm really not happy that I paid extra money to have this train, which is very bad to play with now, it was great before that last patch.

 

The aws and other warning sounds as they should for me on xbox sx.

 

Thanks for that info, I will try this again during a holidays.

 

Sorry, but I think it’s complete nonsense that PC players have to wait just because console players can’t get it on time. In fact, when it comes to addon releases, PC players are always the ones who have to wait the longest. Honestly, I think this is the moment to finally give PC players the advantage for once.

It’s not very smart, and once again it shows that PC players clearly aren’t the target of their business model, even though we’re the ones who made this game possible for console players in the first place. To be honest, I just don’t think this is a respectable move.

 

If they actually follow through this time, I’ll be satisfied but unfortunately, history usually shows otherwise. Almost every update proves that things are barely tested, if at all, and for every fix we get, we seem to receive just as many broken things in return. So I’m not very optimistic.

 

I understand you perfectly, the 13th november patch broke the "next station" announcements on ALP-45DP and not to mention that when it spawns there's initially a confusion about which mode it spawns in (it spawns with the engines running and in electric mode at the same time)

none of this happened before the 13th november patch

 

If the patch included the wiper fix and crashing fix and safety fixes then they should have released it. Im driving a 423 got caught in a snow storm wipers done nothing and could not see dam thing.

 

After update of today, the WiKo 483 still doesn't appear on the train selection screen.
There's only an image of the KaKo 463, which, when selected, opens the WiKo 483 selection.
A little more attention to detail wouldn't hurt...

 

yes, and there was a note in the release article that this issue existed and would be fixed in a post-release patch

 

As noted in the main feedback thread, there is still the issue of any run with a 463 spawning in with Dostos as well as N-Wagons in the consist, to solve.

 

So much for the patch...

Doing CSQ 52930 (Journey Mode), for some reason I couldn't spot got "zwanged" joining the main line proper. Was unable to get the train to move despite releasing and resetting everything. On the final attempt, the loco simply rocked a bit, fell on its side and run terminated with the derailed message.

Buggidy, buggidy, bug..

 

I'm not at the computer right now, but what's that locomotive? I've completed everything in the cargo portion of Journey Mode and only noticed one bug with a stuck train.

 

It's the 140. Even if missing the "zwang" was user error it should be possible to regain power after coming to a stand and releasing the PZB and it most certainly should not fall over on its side!

Maybe it was auditioning for a part in Metro Rivals, where it seems DTG's main interest now lies...

 

Is that the one where have to stop at a red signal then as try to it just flips of the rails

 

That must be another one. There was no signal not even a presignal that triggered the penalty brake (SIFA is off so just PZB). I can deal with that if the train is recoverable but ending up on its side, afraid not!

 

I had something similar today, after zwanbremsung. I had to wait about three minutes for the brakes to pump up and release. Ideally, I should have waited about 10 minutes for the compressor to build up pressure in the main reservoir. But I didn’t try to move, I just stood there waiting for the brakes to release and the train to move down the slope on its own. Still, this old man needs careful handling of the brakes, in the style of American freight trains.

 

Did you pass a naked Ne2?


These "Vorsignal" plates can be found separate from any signal - there are a couple on Niddertal and a notorious hidden one on RSN - and must always be acknowledged, since there is no way to display a "clear" aspect.

 

solicitr OldVern I think this is what might have happened. I just tried this service and there's one right after leaving Kornwestheim Rbf. It's a bit hard to notice in the dark, I spotted it at the last moment.


Anyway, I deliberately let myself get zwangsbremsed, but had no problem getting back on afterwards.
Thing is, with the 140 you have to be very careful with the throttle. What usually works is going to 2nd notch first, wait a bit, then step to 3rd to get the train moving slowly. When the traction power gauges move down towards 3, go one notch higher

 

Thanks for the advice folks. It is of course hard to spot those signs in the dark. I'll try the run again later.

 

In reality, those signs are reflective and way easier to spot. It's a bit odd that the game doesn't reflect this (heh), I'm pretty sure UE4 can do reflective surfaces.

Vern, when you do the service again, keep an eye out for a regional train stuck behind a red signal at Heilbronn. It blocked my entrance and I had to delete it, but forgot to note its service number

 

Will do.

 

Has the patch, by any chance, addressed this issue? dtg_jan ---->

Note: Ps5 Missing Timetable Services For Stuttgart Heilbronn

 

I had the same problem and I also forgot to write down the number...

 

This is a point that DTG doing wrong for ages. Its frustrating that they did not fix this issue. And yeah its very simple to have on UE4

 

I just rode CSQ 52930 again and encountered the same problem when entering Heilbronn, where RE 19875 was stopped at a red signal (at the Heilbronn exit). This wasn't the case before yesterday's update.
CSQ 52930 bin ich gerade nochmals gefahren und hatte bei der Einfahrt in Heilbronn die RE 19875 an einem roten Signal steht (bei der Ausfahrt Heilbornn) auch dieses Problem. Das war vor dem Update von gestern nicht der Fall.

 

Second attempt and yes the Ne2 is there albeit on the left hand side of the line not the right. I guess that is prototypical so we have to put that down to user error, not really expecting the use of a sign rather than a vorsignal in the midst of colour light signalled territory.

Still doesn’t explain the 140 toppling over when stationary though, although I’ve had that occur in other routes since TSW6. It was common in TSW4, went away in 5 but back with a vengeance in 6. An old core bug revived.

Anyhow off to Heilbronn, will report back shortly if the stuck passenger train is a problem for me.

 

Yes same situation with the stuck train.

After deleting it that released SE 28207 which was routed across my path then after it cleared I got a proceed signal. I may also have deleted a couple of the non labelled consists in Heilbronn Yard.

 

No need to scare me. I haven't had a single flight. Other bugs occur, but not rollovers.
