    Just had Steam do a modest update but nothing on the details to indicate what it's for. Too small to be a pre-load of the new German route (which I don't think DTG do anyway).

    Just found these update notes. It's for Sandpatch Grade, which I basically never play, but good on DTG though.

    Yet for a fleeting moment, I dreamt of Saxony...

    Well, it is something I guess. Small changes, but it's good that they improved on the substitution.

    Haven't looked yet, but I hope it fixes the recent bug where EVERY GP38 spawns in YN3b.

    321 mb yeah? That was weird. It said the DL was 321mb then downloaded 3.9GB!

    Hmmm. Now attempting to load any loco in Sand Patch - even in the timetable selection screen - produces an instant UE crash.
    This might be a mod conflict; I'll have to sift through them.

    The crash does not occur if you spawn on foot somewhere with no trains visible, so it's definitely loco loading which is the problem.

    And the patch is just meant for US routes? I wonder solicitr if it is worth mentioning this in the stream thread so maybe it can be addressed in the stream tonight?

    Found it- sadly, the conflict is with the wonderful mod which adds back in all the builders' plates, gauge brand names and other trademark stuff DTG had to leave out. Apparently reworking the cabs screwed something up.

    It's only Sand Patch, and only if you have one specific mod installed - which of course isn't DTG's problem.

    I actually have that particular patch installed and it's not crashing my game so for me so far so good

    Sometimes a route updates and it breaks it for some people, and doesn't for others. A verify tends to fix it.

    Its strange because the last 2 updates have patched the country related to the DLC that was being released. I guess that means HSC is coming out soon.

    This is something else, long overdue Sand Patch bugfixes.

    Oh I wouldn’t be surprised considering I saw the notice on Facebook. The heading actually says arriving soon

    If I am remembering one of your older posts correctly, that might be the two intro video files you deleted and locked the folder down to read-only. I did the exact same thing recently.

    Cheers

    OK, my bad. Turns out I was still using v. 1.0 of the mod rather than 1.1.

    Has anyone the same changes to SPG as I have - apparently 3 test scenarios and a bunch of test timetables in addition to the normal scenarios/services?

    Dunno. I got a small SPG update yeserday, but only noticed the mod conflict it created.

    New scenarios would be good

    Has anyone ever seen a file verify not work? I am trying to do one following yesterday's dl and it's just sitting there.

    I had the dl and was doing a post verify. I had to do a system restart for it to do the file verify, strange.

    Actually, I had the SPG update dl and installed several days ago and got something this morning that was just over 800 mb.

    Mine was 200MB compressed, 1.3GB on disk. Must be general housekeeping stuff underlying Chemnitz; none of my .pak files were updated.

    Yes, Banking Comm works on the Dash 8, EOT and Dispatcher Phone don't.

    So, if you encounter a red signal, you can't ask for permission to pass? Or, you can, but only using the shortcut key?

    According to the patch notes, the dispatcher phone was enabled on the CSX SD40, GP38 and AC4400- I don't recall if that upgrade was applied to the C40 or not.
