I've Had Enough Of This Game

As the title states, I've had enough. I don't care if this gets me banned.

First of all, DTG refuses to provide any solid tutorials or guides on exactly to add content into the game. You created the DAMN game so [EDIT - Jan - Language] and WRITE THE GOD DAMN TUTORIALS. This includes full part naming list, route markers both pins/flags and GPS lines, rolling stock, scenery, locomotives/railcars and MORE.

Yes, I will admit that the examples are useful in their own way but there's NOT enough. Provide more examples such as route markers 'I have tried creating these and seems like NOBODY can help me' I can't complete my damn route without MARKERS, it shouldn't BE THAT FLAMING HARD TO ADD GOD DAMN ROUTE MARKERS.

Remove the Google Maps API key requirement, this service IS NOT FREE! I think Google noticed an increasing number of people signing up for a Google Maps API key due to Train Simulator customers requiring the use of it to aid in route building, so they decided to scam more money from the people who use the Google Maps API feature. [EDIT - Jan - Language] It would be great to simply use a website of the USER'S CHOICE or use Open Street Maps API key 'YES, it's FREE' it won't change either because it's OPEN SOURCE.

Ever since this game was originally known as 'Rail Simulator' right through to Railworks then TS, TS20xx and now TS Classic. WHY HAS DTG REFUSED TO CREATE ANYTHING AUSTRALIAN? YEAH, I GET IT! The British hates AUSTRALIA and AUSTRALIANS because you claim we are CONVICTS 'FACE THE FACTS' this is the real reason why there's NOTHING Australian in TS.

I'm also fed up with this dreaded 'Out of memory' problem. WHY CAN'T YOU [EDIT - Jan - Language] FIX IT? You just provided a new recent update '6 June Update' and YET, NOTHING HAD BEEN FIXED! As far as I can see. This game is completely BROKEN. I could play other games without CRASHING. I don't give a damn what anyone thinks. I believe the DTG ads do CONTRIBUTE to the game crashing continuously.

I used to hate Trainz because of it's bad graphics. When I finally realised that purchasing Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019 then 2022. I haven't regret it. AT LEAST THEY DON'T HATE AUSTRALIA, AT LEAST THERE'S AUSTALIAN CONTENT.

 

Em google maps is free to use.

no out of error memory for me and I have all sorts of 3rd party content installed such as AP,JT etc etc reshade RW enhancer all works fine for me. So the sun isn’t the problem if it was we would ALL be experiencing the same issues. The problems your getting are local to you.

Can you list your full of specifications.

 

I wonder how all the other content creators made their routes... You're aware of the Dev Docs http://tscdevdocs.co.uk/ , Google and Youtube?

The game is not broken, in fact it's the most stable it has ever been. It seems more like your installation might be broken.

And why has DTG not made Australian content? Ask why no one else has, especially people from Australia? Everyone can develop content for TSC. See the Taurus Mountains route, developed by a turkish team.

The fact there isn't a spanish route means DTG hates Spain? Or Russia? Or Sweden? Norway? Romania? Hungary? Croatia? India? Mexico? Egypt (I have actually traveled along the Nile in 1990 by train - it was a fascinating trip)? etc...

 

The New Zealanders seemed to have solve the problem on their own and made their own route.

 

Well what a dummy spit, as we say here down under. Firstly I've been playing TS for about twelve years and have totalled some 4,648 hours enjoying it and I don't have a problem with it. Sure I'm not TECHNO SAV , I'm 73 years of age, but I enjoy making my own scenarios in most of the routes and that's the way I play the game. I'm sure the English don"t hate us. And on behalf of all the other Australians that play this game I apologise for our mates moment of madness in saying that. One day someone, some where, will make an Australian route, I know that there are some in the pipeline. Hoo Roo City Rail

 

In practise it is. Unless you're using industrial levels of data in your route creation the amount used will never reach a point where they'll charge you.

The large update a few months ago improved stability for the majority of users. For example, since that update I've only had two OOM crashes, which has really improved the experience of using the game. Some people have had less good experiences, and reinstalls or file verifications can fix these.

As for the most recent update, it is for fixing the 4 camera not panning properly and some specific physics issues. There were reports that it broke some trains but having investigated it doesn't seem to be a widespread issue, as usual. It also only seems to affect the DX12 version but from my testing it doesn't have as reliable performance in the most difficult situations as the DX9 versions. The update was not to improve performance.

 

this is the funniest thing i have read online all day.

 

More pathos than comedy.

 

The rest of the post seems serious but this... It has to be sarcasm, surely?

 

You can take a horse (or Roo) to water but if it won't drink.......

 

LOL. Is this guy serious?
Mate... other people make routes with no issues. Seems to me that you're just blaming everyone else. Ok... shut the door on your way out, there's a good chap.

 

This line made me curious. Can someone elaborate?

 

Searching online for Australian houses, they don't look radically different to US and UK houses but I do see some differences - something like a blend between the two countries' designs.

 

Thanks to you both for the responses. I think you're right, Steve, in that many sim players with their eyes for detail would spot those discrepancies immediately. I, however, wouldn't have a clue.

 

If you play the three main areas of the original sim, you may have a feel of how each country works.
Really just the stereotypes.
UK has lots of row houses, relatively thin designs, and brick.
Germany has wooden frame houses, and otherwise painted brick.
US is dominated by wooden houses (and then the Mexican stuff). All Aboard routes really have the look and feel.
Luxury homes are of course different, those pictured above might be home on the Pacific Surfliner, Hawaii, and so on as well.
Scenery is a similar matter, like how early US routes are completely distinct in terms of flora from European stuff. There is some overlap, but US routes were either deserts or pine / spruce areas (California), whereas UK is lush.

I overall don't believe that the man hours are such a problem, except maybe the company is used to a better ROI.
We have routes from the "golden era" of TSC spanning 150 miles. Places like the Surfliner (or Florida) nicely modeled.
I don't think the problem is literally that, just looking at WoW it's clear that investor expectations have gone up, they are delivering about 25% content per dollar, compared to 15 years ago, also getting rid of customer support in the process.

 

Ozzie houses are different - this is my luxury pad 600 km from overlooking Sydney Harbour

 

I thought maybe Australian houses were made different by including protection against all the fauna that wants to kill you--reinforced walls, moats, land mines, like that.

 

A lot of things in our culture are a blend of US and UK (usually biased more towards one than the other, but also shifting over time)

 

Surely they look like this ?

 

That explains why I constantly have headaches and keep dropping things out of the skylight

 

I think you are tired. Stop TS as a rest.
I got 13 routes not long ago. I don't play much because some DLC are too old or serious bug.
I don't know if the update caused it?
Some trains decelerate too fast uphill. When braking, the deceleration is too slow.
I lose the ability to feel the speed. It caused my brain to mess up, and I had to stop playing.
It's like TSW stutter makes me dizzy and gag.

 

Trains will lose speed quickly going uphill - same as real life.
Driven properly the driver can cut power and coast to the stopping point or a speed restriction.
It all depends on the gradient.

 

I have heard it's something connected to gravity or is it apples?

 

I believe coconuts have also been allegedly connected to this theory.
If they were serving Apple Juice and Coconut Milk in the First Class section of the train maybe this would have had an effect on the braking???

 

This may be a health issue - please see a doctor if it's a consistent thing.

That actually raises a philosophical argument - I have drunk apple juice in a train and also in my house, but only the train can move. Therefore, something that isn't the apple juice must be the thing that makes the train move.
