It would appear that, on PC at least, not everything that is in the changelog actually got updated as part of the Winter Core Update Part 2. My Bernina Line .pak file is dated 16/01/2024 and Maintalbahn is dated 11/12/2023 which are both, I believe, the original release dates. All other .paks mentioned in the Patch Notes are dated 08/02/2024 and I can confirm that the published fixes for the two routes mentioned aren't there. The easiest way to check is that it is still possible to climb into the passenger cabin of the DB BR 642 with the doors closed. Is there any chance of getting the fixes for those two routes pushed out? Thanks
The Regional Railways and other Class 323 textures never got fixed, as DTG said... Center car is still borked. Not sure why DTG say things have been "fixed" when a 2 minutes check shows that they clearly have not.
It's par for the course. It is not uncommon for them to announce a fix, only to find out that: (a) the fix doesn't actually work, or (b) the fix only works for a limited number of situations, or (c) the fix broke something else, or (d) the fix was not included in this build, it will arrive at some point in the future, or (e) all of the above.
To me it's even more baffling that there are long time players who are expecting this pattern to change. Leopard and its spots, and all that...
Hello everyone, we've just shipped a change to Steam platforms to ensure all the Maintalbahn fixes have been correctly implemented. As for Bernina Line, the changes made were actually core improvements, so you shouldn't expect to see an update to that .pak file Please keep us aware of any other feedback or issues you may have with the patch.
Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to have worked. The date of the Maintalbahn .pak file is still the original release date and the fixes aren’t in the game (I can still climb in to the unit through a closed door)
A bit of further investigating shows that the update just received on Steam has updated a core .pak file, TS2Prototype-WindowsNoEditor.pak is now showing today’s date. Nothing has changed as far as Maintalbahn is concerned. HTH
I’m not sure you understand the problem. I know there are fixes for Maintalbahn listed in the patch notes, but the file hasn’t updated twice now and the fixes aren’t in the game.
If you look at your Maintalbahn .pak file in your DLC folder I suspect you will see 11/12/23 (if I remember correctly) as the date which was the original release date of the route, it most definitely has not been updated. The update just pushed updated a core .pak file, not the Maintalbahn file.
You could always dim the left screen and are you sure you don’t have Bescot’s mod that fixes the controller? Trust me, this has not received an update, if it had the date on the pak file would have changed! Get off the unit and walk on to the track. Walk to a door and the climb back into the unit without opening the doors. The fact that you can do that shows that it hasn’t been updated.
I uploaded a screen capture of the update on my previous post. I can dim the right screen as well and no I don't have mods for this route. Edit : Also tried getting off the unit as you suggested and couldn't get back in, so I definitely have the fixes. Hope you get it sorted soon.
I’ve just deleted the DLC and downloaded it again and it’s now showing today’s date. Something’s not right with the way it’s updating as I know I’m not the only one with this issue, but it’s correct now and that’s all that matters.
ok this does not derail now Fixed an issue where Service 44882 would cause a derailment upon launch. but if you drive ahead to your first stop another loc moves onto your track in front of you as soon as you stop on the first task maybe once it moves away you can continue but thats a bit long way i think it was between 20 and 30 minutes probally can take over and move it away but was not in the mood to try that
The DigitalSensitivity (0.25) has been officially added to the 642's ThrottleAndBrakeHandle, so no need for Bescot's mod anymore - using it could actually prevent you from seeing other fixes now (as it will override the new RVM file in the pak). - The right display now has functional On/Off, Contrast and Brightness buttons. - The "walk through closed doors" bug has also been fixed
Interestingly fixes to the screens and throttle were not listed in the patch notes. Glad they’ve been done though!
You could ping your friend Bescot, the mod should be withdrawn as it could lead to false bug reports.
Honestly, I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. Unless you know something we don’t all that’s been pushed again today is the Maintalbahn part of Winter Core Update 2 because it didn’t update correctly on the 8th. Alex literally says so here; https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/published-fixes-missing-from-wcu2.78556/#post-792574
yeah but still bugs half fixed too like service 44882 no derailment but now a loc moves in the way after first stop but then I am not surprissed
Right, I know I’m not going mad so something isn’t right here. I definitely have the updated file & no mods installed. The right hand screen cannot be dimmed because the buttons aren’t clickable and do nothing, the same applies to the GSM-R screen. The left hand MFD can be dimmed but that was always the case. The throttle has only been mentioned here but I’m not convinced it’s any different. To those saying they can dim the right screen, are you 100% sure you’re in the correct unit, ie the 642 that ships with the route? The right hand screen cannot be dimmed in that unit.
I am beyond confused now. I can still climb up into the 642 through a closed door. What in the heck is going on?! I’m going to try verifying the files because something isn’t right with this.
As I said previously, I had no mods at all installed and it still wasn’t right. So even after uninstalling and reinstalling the whole DLC it still was on the old version and has only corrected itself after a file verify. The good news is that it has now updated the route correctly and all is as advertised. That was totally bizarre though, I’ve never experienced that before. Obviously not DTG’s fault, something whacky must have been going on with Steam. Xander1986 Yeah, must have turned my PC off and on at least 5 times over the last few hours. It must have been Steam related but that was really odd. It had me completely confused!
Does the 642 handle mod break things guys? I can't update it yet, and I don't even know if it's still required.
It's not required any more, and possibly other changes were made to the RVM which the mod would block, so it would be better to withdraw it imho.
