Dovetail Games Train Simulator Classic 2025 - Status Update 14th November

Hello everyone,

We wanted to share a status update, following the release of Train Simulator Classic 2025 at the end of October, which brought a new core foundation for the game, and featured three iconic routes from the wide world of railways.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on community feedback since this went live, and our teams have been investigating multiple reports impacting a small selection of add-ons since this update, causing disruption to your experience in the game. Today we’d like to acknowledge these issues and talk about our next steps for improvements. We apologies these communications haven’t come sooner whilst we work internally to understand how we can address this.

Currently, we’re aware of roughly 20 add-ons, including the Just Trains Common Library, which are experiencing the following:

• Crashing when playing series and scenarios
• Add-ons missing the latest/most recent updates
• Content being backdated and running on older build versions
• Add-ons missing specific content

We’re also looking into reports from the community of other add-ons that may be affected. If you're experiencing issues, please let our team know on our TSC Discord channels, or via the TSC Forums

Next Steps
Our teams understand that these issues can be highly impactful to your gameplay experience, and we’re working quickly for a resolution. The first step we’re working towards currently, involves making updates to our Steam back-end infrastructure, and due to how this is best approached, it’s not something we’re able to do rapidly.

We are expecting to share a further update with some improvements by the week starting November 24th, 2025, and we will aim to keep you updated in our community channels spaces for any changes and developments on this timeframe.

We hope to bring you news of fixes in the coming weeks, and we thank you for your patience as we've been working towards a solution.
