    I've experienced instant Derailments throughout all German routes when spawning in longer Freight Trains. This is probably related to the known derailment issue on SoS (where I never actually got any issues with derailments). I'm pretty sure this is already known problem. Still worth a thread.

    Happens to me on PS4 and PS5, about 50% of the time as soon as you begin a German freight timetable. They are slowly making the game unplayable.

    This also happens on Riesa Dresden the 09:36 Monster freight train derailing if you resume from a save. Happened to me when I was running the Weissig Bohla connector line segment

    Threads popping up on this all over the place, all platforms. Learned opinion is that a core update for the steam route has torn through all the other routes particularly where freight is involved. MSB has issues, NTP has issues. DTG have apparently acknowledged the fault but no timescale if/when it might be fixed. I assume a rollback to an earlier version not possible as that would knobble Spirit Of Steam.

    This word is important. Unplayable. It is unplayable.

    Thank you for sharing your experience, while we are aware of the issues are derailments it is also good to gather more data on affected routes. We are working on a fix and it is listed as high priority, for now the best we can do is wait but know that the team is on it.

    Good to hear, Alex!
    But also sorry to tell you: Big oopsy-daisy on your side. Nothing I would expect from a publisher like Dovetail.

    To redeem yourselves with the community, I strongly suggest some really serious sales until Christmas. 50-85% knockoffs on all DLCs, and the train simulation God might forgive you. Maybe.

    (Ah, c´mon, I had to try.) :D

    Just had the Nahverkehr Dresden BR185.5 Freight Riesa - Dresden 06:07 derail when I selected “Begin” on PS5. I thought you might want to know as you encourage as many detailed reports as possible. I heard you talking about this issue on a recent roadmap so I guess you are already aware.
    The 07:26 service seems to survive.

    It's a little bit frustrating to read that, not gonna lie.
    It's not since yesterday or so, and it's unplayable. I only do freight and I can't play this game at all. There is no service wich is doable from my list. Not a single one.
    And that is really frustrating

    I hear you, a bug that makes the game literally unplayable is important to get fixed asap, and it's exactly why it is a high priority fix - The team know this must be solved as soon as they can get on it, but there is still the reality that there are many high priority fixes to be solved and that getting an estimation of when the team can dedicate time on a specific area isn't a simple clear cut.

    Even though I don't like the answer from a personal pov, I do like how you communicate. I've seen many bad examples from other sims/forums/community managers, and this is just good communication. I appreciate it, really. DTG, give this man a raise.

    Really, just do it.
