Yep, same here. Even if it somehow works, you'll get kicked out or happen to be stuck somewhere way too often. Really sad that this hasn't lead to a respond from a developer.

I've never actually really paid attention to that ping indicator. Honestly, I took that screenshot right after I entered that MP-section, thus probably causing the high ping. After a short while, the ping stabilizes again: And yes, my internet is not the best for sure. But as the game has worked just fine before the update, I won't let my bad internet be an excuse for the game not working at all pretty much anymore.

Thanks for reporting this from the dispatcher's view. I actually saw you running around the signal box as I drove by (at least in my game 🙃), but at that point I was already bugged out (at DGS by the way). I then entered DGZ and wondered about the "expect stop" signal. I wanted to check what's in front of me on the map, but then I saw I'm stuck at DGS and left the train immediatly. I think that was my last time on DE1 for now (at least as a driver), so far EN1 works far better. Very frustrating, though.

Hey there, In Sosowiec Kazimierz you really get to notice how unpractical the current CCTV camera UI is. You have to cycle through all camera views for closing the crossings, interrupted by one camera which doesn't matter at all, forcing you to be stuck in a little loading sequence as the current cam fades out. For that reason, I'd love to see a selection (like a drop down menu) for what camera I want to have so I don't have to see all of them. Even better would be an option for closing the crossings automatically or by pressing just one switch (like they did in TD2). Seems like a very little complain, but for me it would greatly smoothen the workflow when a train is coming. Thanks!

I would play on DE3 if it wouldn't be that empty. If I would want that expierience, I could also just play singleplayer.

Hey, since the new update, the multiplayer became pretty much unplayable for me (I mainly use DE1). I have constant connection issues, where I either can't connect at all (while there's noone else trying to connect, as the station or train becomes available directly after) or my train just becomes stuck at a certain position. Locally, I can move, but my position on the server just doesn't update (so it seems my train is standing somewhere). The only method I can even tell that this happend is by either constantly monitoring my train on the map, or listening to angry dispatchers telling me to go. Another issue is that text messages in the chat tend to take ages to be send. The voice chat is also very laggy, which makes communication quite hard. Sadly, all this in combination (especially the connection issues) make the multiplayer pretty much unplayable for me and I know that after an update many people try to play at the same time causes some issues, but it just can't be that the game becomes that "buggy". With this, I wanted to share my frustration that I have and maybe get an update on when to expect any improvement on server stability. Thanks!

Ich würde mich ebenso melden.

I also noticed the train lights getting a lot brighter in the section from and to Zachodnia. I think it’s very much overdone there, to and from Wschodnia it‘s fine.

Radio chatter is a nice idea, but please only in singleplayer. In multiplayer there’s enough chatter already. Nevermind, I haven’t seen that this was posted in the singleplayer section, sorry.

I hope you can lean out the window and control the train from there someday when departing, that would be great.

Please do the same in the E186 then.

Hello, when dispatching at Grodzisk or Sosnowiec Glowny, I go to the platforms sometimes to do some railfanning. There, I noticed that you don't get to hear the train announcements. Neither do the display boards show anything. I assume this is a bug. Thanks!

Ja, das hat er. Siehe den roten Rahmen unten auf dem Screenshot. Mit den Tasten wählst du die Geschwindigkeit (die aktuell eingestellte siehst du rechts im Display). Davor musst du nur den hier blauen Knopf drücken, um den Tempomaten zu aktivieren. Mit Opt + und Opt - wählst du die Leistung, mit welcher die AFB arbeiten soll. Dabei ist es aber so, dass der Zug beim Anfahren die Leistung drosselt für den Komfort. Mit aktiviertem Tempomaten dann nur einfach den Kombihebel kurz nach vorne schieben, der Zug übernimmt dann automatisch.

Das Thema ist zwar schon älter, allerdings wundert mich diese Sache auch schon seit dem die Traxx ins Spiel kam. Allerdings habe ich auf Aufnahmen aus Polen bisher immer nur die Traxx mit "Fernlicht", sprich den inneren Leuchten aktiv, gesehen, ganz egal ob es helligster Tag oder Nacht war. Außen können im Spiel ja dann nur die Schlussleuchten sein, ich weiß allerdings nicht, ob man diese im Spiel aktivieren kann.

Wird ja auch nirgends geschrieben, dass diese Betriebssysteme unterstützt werden.

Bei mir und einem Ryzen 7 5700X sowie einer RTX 3060 läuft das Spiel (welches auf einer M.2 SSD ist) aber auch nicht perfekt. Gerade in Warschau und Katowice kommt es immer wieder zu Einbrüchen der Performance. Liegt wohl einfach auch an dem Early-Access Status des Spiels. Auch lagt es teils stark beim Laden der Zugmodelle. Was ich mich nur frage, was bedeutet denn "flüssig" für den Threadersteller? Läuft das Spiel unter 20 fps - verständlich. Aber unter 60 fps ist wohl ein zu hoch angelegter Maßstab für dein System. Auch wäre es gut zu wissen, wo dich das Problem plagt. Auf offener Strecke oder in Bahnhöfen bzw. Stellwerken oder gar überall? Eine Sache, die am meisten Performance zieht, sind die Schatten. Da gibt es eine Option, deren Renderdistanz zu erhöhen. Wenn ich das aktiviere, liefert mein System in dicht bebauten Gebieten / Wäldern auch nur noch ~20 fps. Am besten mal kontrollieren, ob das aus ist. Vielleicht hast du ja mal einen Screenshot deiner Grafikeinstellungen.

Hey, In Sosnowiec Glowny, platform 1, the clock is one hour behind the actual time. Instead of showing 14:42, it says that it's 13:42. Thanks!

Ansagen gibt es i.d.R an jedem Bahnhof und bei jedem Zug mittlerweile, zumindest auf Katowice - Warszawa. Hören kann man sie im Führerstand aber nur, wenn die Fenster geöffnet sind.

Hey, I've noticed that in Dabrowa Gornicza Wschodnia, the telephone shows Dorota as AI, even though there is a real player in it. Regards

I can only agree. It is quite immersion breaking when you have no passengers entering a train on the whole journey (which happens quite often in the EIP-trains). Especially when you see some standing on the platform in groups of several people but they are not moving at all. I think this isn't really a bad thing in general. I would just wish that they could run or at least move faster to catch their train. Instead, they move with their normal speed no matter how far away the train is. I'll mention the emptiness of trains at their spawn too. When you jump into a "new" train (e.g these local trains in the Warszawa suburban area) coming from Grodzisk, which have done some stops before, they're all empty. It would be nice to put in a random amount of passengers before, so that you don't have to walk trough that empty train which is, I guess, unrealistic and immersion breaking. When I first saw that people were entering my train using the actual doors, waiting for them to open and really searching for a seat (with animation) and stay there until they get out eventually, I was really fascinated by that, as any other popular train sim doesn't have this (in TSW, they just warp into your train). But I've slowly been disappointed by the fact that it's quite rare to actually have people entering. Oh, and one more thing. When approaching a last stop with passengers (also these green Elf trains in Warszawa Wschodnia), they don't leave. This would be a nice detail too, but not as important as the other things I mentioned in my opinion.

By the way about the announcements - what about the departure time in general? I remember that it had been announced sometime, but now couldn't hear it. I would wish that it would be added (back?).

Okay, I've so far only barely used the E186, just today as it has been put in front of many EC services. Thanks for the tip, I've also tried this, but as you don't really know how long you have to press that button, it's not really a proper solution. If you lift your finger of the brake releaser switch one second too early, power will immediately cut and that is very annoying. In the ED250 it's made correctly with the electric braking power going away as soon as the brake lever is set to release, regardless of how much the air cylinder brake (upper manometer) is filled (because I think that may be the issue). If you brake without air, so just electric, the loco doesn't have this weird behavior in releasing the brake afterwards.

Hey, I've noticed a very long "release" time of the electric brake in the E186. It takes longer than the release of the actual air brake, which just can't be as intended. Maybe you can check this. Thanks!

Hey, when dispatching various stations, it happens that my timetable screen crashes and turns whitely (like actual programs in Windows do too). I can't interact with it anymore, making dispatching almost impossible. The clock in the upper right corner is still running thought. Attached are some screenshots. By the way, thanks for the great new update! Greetings

Hey, when trying to activate the control panel lighting in the EN96/Elf Trains, the button comes out again all the time and the light just doesn't stay on and turns off immediately after. When spawning into an Elf at night, the panel lighting is on from the beginning, but then you can't turn it off, the button just does nothing. Thank you, Regards
