Dtg Train Simulator Corrupted Update For 2026.

RE: JT posted on Steam. https://steamcommunity.com/app/24010/discussions/3/690871156198246649/

I found it made very little difference in frame rates on my system. This should have been an option. I have been slowly manually editing files to allow for greater flair distance on all my locomotives. This surly was done to pacify people with marginal systems. It is my opinion that Focus has halted all work on TSC (could this be the complication) with the exception of adding and supporting 3rd party developer content. I have a lot of time and money invested over the years in TSC and will continue to play it. I am just getting tired of patching and fixing this game because of DTG's ineptness and refusal to correct issues in a timely manner that they have created. If I were a novice looking for a Railroad simulator, knowing what I know now, I would invest in something else.

 

Perhaps Focus are pulling the purse strings.

 

"it's complicated" sounds a lot better than, they won't let us do anything.

 

... except you know it's not.
They've essentially mixed two manifests - lists of numbers - when releasing the new TSC core bundle.
All they have to do is push another one - the previous list with the new bundle.

I've purchased a game this sale. Day 3, the developer pushed an update, which made me lose some item. I reported it. I got feedback in 2 hours. I sent them a screenshot and my suspicion. In another 3 hours, the update was reverted and I received a thank you. Day 4, roughly 26 hours after my report, the issue was fixed. The fix involved hunting for files, updating code, rebuilding the app and publishing it.

Since it takes DTG 2 months it's pretty hard proof that they've no one left who can look into it. Whether it's competence or permission, is unknown, but even if management says to stay low, this is supposedly bad PR. Except, of course, people will say that JT content is bad, no one except those few aware will fault the devs.

Also, with this year's update, the game has been recompiled (upping the version to 79.0). So fixing stuff like headlight flares - setting a constant back from the equivalent of 100 to the equivalent of 1000 or whatever the earlier number was - was theoretically possible.

As it is, we're getting to the point that it would make sense to upload a working snapshot of TSC to a 3rd party site, still requiring the Steam license. Some of us can follow the solution involving scripting, but the majority can't. Worse yet, it's currently not about the core but a good bunch of DLC.

 

My point was to find out what is broken and did it affect everyone.

I wondered where OldAlaskaGuy got his list from and Spike was able to make a list

The update was released on at the end of October. DTG admitted that there were problems 2 weeks later, with an update on November 14th, with another update again on the 26th. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...assic-2025-status-update-14th-november.95292/
Spikee1975 posted on Steam about the issues on October 30th. So DTG have been aware of this issue since then. No excuse for this languishing this long. Another issue is that until the current content is updated, every time a file verify is done you will download the same corrupted files.

 

been working through career scenarios just to chase the gold medals. I am getting the medals but the XP is not going up at the bottom to rank my level up i am guessing this is part of the broken system ?

 

I doubt if this is connected to this problem. Your issue has been going on for years and it will not be fixed as well as broken scenarios, unrealistic timetables or AI collisions. Most people give up on scoring and just enjoy the ride. You can change the career routes to standard using TS-Tools or turn off scoring in settings.

 

Come on, admit you're not doing anything about it.

 

At least the AI auto updater is working.

 

Snotty comments are not constructive.

 

We should deserve more as paying customers.

 

Neither is poor customer service.

 

I demand compensation in form of hard currency. My loco backflipped into a 270 degree nosedive whilst departing Wait-A-Bit.

 

That was November 26th. Why is this so difficult? Can you not just roll back to the last version... then fix the latest one at your leisure so that we don't have to suffer? Then you can push it again once you've tested it.... properly.

 

Due to this I have not brought anything in the sale. Sorry, but confidence is slipping. My choice but I will not buy in case the DLC crashes. Hoping for an update to this issue.

 

Not every DLC is affected - this shows a list of the 19 that are

Kindly thanking you for the update.

 

And if you have a JT DLC direct form their website with one that contains the library then you shouldn't be affected by the steam issues (I have JT DLCs from steam and from them directly and neither are having issues)

 

The only think I really care about is the Just Trains common library. SO many things use it.

 

Thank you. I have seen the list and have Cornish Mainline, Southwesternexpressway all crashes. And the extention of the Wessex Line when you leave Salisbury after passing the junction I lose all signal but the AWS ramp is still active.
