    Hi to everyone. So i'm studying signals and PBZ and for the most part now i'm more confident with it. But at times there are instances in which no matter how much i smash the aknowledge button, the train stop. Here is an example so eventually you can replicate the "problem".

    Train: 766.2 DBpbzfa DBq

    Service: 10:09 Lohr Bahnhof - Gemunden - all stops

    At 1,5 km from Lagenprozelten ( it's the first stop on the route ) i get a Next Signal with two yellow lights. I press the aknowledge button but the train stop and i see on the display: WT nicht zeitgetecht betatigt. I've tried several times, even smashing the button like a mad, but with no luck. Usually when the train stop it's always a "WT nicht zeitgetecht betatigt" and i find myself a little bit confused. I've checked manual and watched the wonderful Matt tutorial on youtube about PBZ. Can anyone help me ? Thanks and happy train ! :)

    EDIT: Oh and i'm playing without signals and speed limits markers/hud.

    To help you along, you can always watch Matt's german signal guide on youtube

    Thanks a lot guys, but i've already watched Matt tutorial and the signals pdf. And still have this problem. It's a Next Signal with two yellow lights and the train stops everytime with the same message on display. From my understanding it indicates that i miss to aknowledge something, but i can't understand what i'm missing cause i press the aknowledge button a lot of times, even before and after the signal.

    Are you reducing your speed quick enough? Acknowledging every signal and speed signal under 100kph?

    I finally figure out what was going on and i feel so dumb now :P
    I have a keyboard plugged on my Series X and for PZB i'm using the pgdown button ( not the default gamepad B button ). Well, if you're using a keyboard to acknowledge signals you need to press the pgdown button FOR FEW SECONDS, not just tap it like the B button on gamepad. Basically i didn't acknowledge nothing. :P
