Dtg Train Simulator Corrupted Update For 2026.

RE: JT posted on Steam. https://steamcommunity.com/app/24010/discussions/3/690871156198246649/

I found it made very little difference in frame rates on my system. This should have been an option. I have been slowly manually editing files to allow for greater flair distance on all my locomotives. This surly was done to pacify people with marginal systems. It is my opinion that Focus has halted all work on TSC (could this be the complication) with the exception of adding and supporting 3rd party developer content. I have a lot of time and money invested over the years in TSC and will continue to play it. I am just getting tired of patching and fixing this game because of DTG's ineptness and refusal to correct issues in a timely manner that they have created. If I were a novice looking for a Railroad simulator, knowing what I know now, I would invest in something else.

 

Perhaps Focus are pulling the purse strings.

 

"it's complicated" sounds a lot better than, they won't let us do anything.

 

... except you know it's not.
They've essentially mixed two manifests - lists of numbers - when releasing the new TSC core bundle.
All they have to do is push another one - the previous list with the new bundle.

I've purchased a game this sale. Day 3, the developer pushed an update, which made me lose some item. I reported it. I got feedback in 2 hours. I sent them a screenshot and my suspicion. In another 3 hours, the update was reverted and I received a thank you. Day 4, roughly 26 hours after my report, the issue was fixed. The fix involved hunting for files, updating code, rebuilding the app and publishing it.

Since it takes DTG 2 months it's pretty hard proof that they've no one left who can look into it. Whether it's competence or permission, is unknown, but even if management says to stay low, this is supposedly bad PR. Except, of course, people will say that JT content is bad, no one except those few aware will fault the devs.

Also, with this year's update, the game has been recompiled (upping the version to 79.0). So fixing stuff like headlight flares - setting a constant back from the equivalent of 100 to the equivalent of 1000 or whatever the earlier number was - was theoretically possible.

As it is, we're getting to the point that it would make sense to upload a working snapshot of TSC to a 3rd party site, still requiring the Steam license. Some of us can follow the solution involving scripting, but the majority can't. Worse yet, it's currently not about the core but a good bunch of DLC.

 

My point was to find out what is broken and did it affect everyone.

I wondered where OldAlaskaGuy got his list from and Spike was able to make a list

The update was released on at the end of October. DTG admitted that there were problems 2 weeks later, with an update on November 14th, with another update again on the 26th. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...assic-2025-status-update-14th-november.95292/
Spikee1975 posted on Steam about the issues on October 30th. So DTG have been aware of this issue since then. No excuse for this languishing this long. Another issue is that until the current content is updated, every time a file verify is done you will download the same corrupted files.

 

been working through career scenarios just to chase the gold medals. I am getting the medals but the XP is not going up at the bottom to rank my level up i am guessing this is part of the broken system ?
