(this topic is reaaaaaallyyyyy long, but I recommend to read it to the end) Hi, I would like to report a major bug. Sometimes, when you probably leave, AI dispatcher (on place like Lazy, Lazy La, DGZ and Zawiercie) and AI train will be bugged. For unknown reason, AI dispatcher won't give to this AI train a way to leave the station (green signal). Due to this, it will result in that station will be completely stopped and nobody will drive through this station. I easily solved these 3 situations in the last 2 days and they was everytime completely same. Picture 1: Station is completely stucked, nobody can drive. For now, there was bugged trains on server CZ1 at the station Dabrowa Gornicza Zabkowice. I was stalking online map and all trains (AI trains) in the station was waiting for green signal for like 5-10 minutes without any response). I checked number of trains - it was 41116, 644024, 242219. I tried to join 242219 first - woah! I got green light in the first second after joining! I drive away maybe 1-2 kilometres to Dabrowa Gornicza and then I left the server. This bugged train drove only to Dabrowa Gornicza and it's bugged again. AI dispatcher didn't register this train and it's blocking the way again. Somebody have to join this train or nobody will drive. Picture 2: AI Dispatcher + AI train. AI train can't move, because AI dispatcher cannot "see" him. Things moving on in Dabrowa Gornicza Zabkowice! Since I drove away with this train, some trains passed the station Dabrowa Gornicza Zabkowice. But there was probably another bugged train, because after a few minutes, AI trains won't move again! Every AI train has red signal and nobody moves again... I joined another AI train in the station - 41116, which was waiting here for the whole time too. Woah! Green light again! I drove away and I rather derailed the train, so it will not be stucked at the next station. All trains starts moving, good job! After a few minutes, the station was completely clear, only passing trains were driving in this moment. Picture 3: Station appear to be clear, there are a few passing trains through station without problems. But let's go back to the train 242219. He is still waiting at Dabrowa Gornicza Zabkowice for a few minutes and 6 trains got stucked waiting behind him. I joined the 242219 again and what do you think? I cannot drive the train, I have red light and AI dispatcher won't give me a green signal even with using ZEW1 and ZEW3. I checked the online map - there wasn't any train ahead me and AI dispatcher wasn't reacting, so I decided to join as dispatcher, but somebody took it meanwhile I left the server. So I joined back to the game as 242219 and I saw that somebody already join the station. After 15 seconds, human dispatcher give me green. I left the train and I was patiently waiting, if he starts moving. Finally, 242219 starts moving! After our intervention (me + dispatcher František.b), the train finally starts to moving. Picture 4: Moving train 242219 with another 6 AI trains waiting behind him. Summary: Unfortunately, this is not first time. I already fixed two same problems at Zawiercie yesterday (4th January), where one passenger train bugged whole station for 1,5 hours. There was only one passenger train at the station and he was waiting for 1,5 hour red signal. I joined this train and I got instantly green light. I drive to Lazy La, but I got red signal for like another 10 minutes - nobody was moving around me. There was probably another bugged train... I check online map and I saw, that there is one cargo train at red signal which appears to be the problem. I joined this bugged cargo train and after trying ZEW1 and ZEW3 on red signal, I decided to derail this train (since AI dispatchers wasn't reacting). And I did good job! All trains starts moving after this derail and both stations got clear in like 30 minutes. I win again! But for now, there was enough of winning, it will be better to fix this bug. It's looks like that this bug appears only when there are only a few or no players online, because I play in specific hours (when everybody sleeping) - late nights or mornings. But I never see this bug during rush hour (when everybody driving). This is why I think that there will be some big bug with AI trains. This problem was never on human's station. Everytime I see only bugged stations, where the traffic is controlled by AI bot. Picture 5: Bugged station Zawiercie + Lazy La from yesterday. EDIT1: Unfortunately, this train 242219 bugged also Katowice station, I could not get the trains to Katowice Zawodzie. And as a bonus 242221 bugged Dabrowa Gornicza again and he is blocking the rail (it's AI train).

These stationary trains could be "low poly". Without details and interior. It should not take that much HW. Also there can be slider in the settings, where you can set number of the stationary trains, which will be loaded (for example: OFF - number of trains - ON (all)).

It will be EA, it's already visible on Steam store page from 2.1.2023

Hey, I would like to suggest a new feature. Some places (and stations) with a lot of free rails for "parking" trains - typically big stations with a lot of free rails for cargo trains like Zawiercie, Katowice Zawodzie, Lazy Lc-Lb-La and many others station slooks really dead with no traffic. Even these stations are really big and busy. This give me idea of new function - "static trains". It could be random locomotive(s) with random number of the wagons, but stationary (without any timetable). It could be spawned randomly on the servers after every restarts. For example: 20-30% capacity of the free rails for "parking" trains could be occupied by this automatically generated stationary trains. It would look better - as in real life in the busy stations. There should be only some % of the rails, which could be taken, so dispatcher still has some free room for other trains.

Woah, that was really fast reply! Thank you for the information 🙂

Hi, I justed wanted to ask if there will be higher interval of server restarts. In the last week, traffic is running smoothly and mostly without any problems. And now, we have also train route control system, so you cannot send train wrongly (= less problems). Servers seems to run really good and I'm wondering, if we really need restarts every 3 hours? Interval could be extended to 4 or 6 hours? I'm just wondering about that as a player, who playing mostly every day at least 2-3 hours daily.

I hope there will be possible to create public or private servers, because without them, we can drive only official content by the developers. Since it costs too much money to run servers, I hope they will start their own "hosting". For example: Player can buy "premium" for 5-10€/month, which allows you to create public or even private server (only one) even with custom maps and trains. I think that this is only one way, how to have own servers with custom maps and trains, since I think that developers don't want to spend thousand of Euro monthly for our public/private servers.

Hi, I noticed that all servers has same in-game time (CET), even servers with UTC+11; UTC-10; UTC-3; UTC-5; UTC-8 has same in-game time (CET). Before, in-game time was counted correctly with time zones, now, it's same everywhere. It's bug or not?

I have same issue. At the morning I have level 7 and afternoon I dropped from level 7 to level 1. And after 3 hours of driving, I still have the same level 1.

I see how "AI dispatcher" mananing these change of the block(s). Today, I wanted to play, but I cannot, because at least 5 servers are completely blocked due to this changes of block(s). And you cannot send the train back - this is a big problem now. If it can drive back to the station, you can change block(s) back to normal (this is not possible right now). Now, they are only standing before the station until it will get completely cloged. That's the reality.

Human dispatcher causing right now mostly 70-80% of the problems, because everyone changing direction of the block until the stations are totally blocked. You can check multiple servers right now. At least 5-6 servers are broken by stupid dispatchers, which clicking on everything what they see.

Hi, we are having issues on CZ server. In the main station Katowice, there are two trains on the same way, but against each other. One wants to drive to Zawodzie, one to Katowice. They blocked the whole server near Katowice and Katowice Zawodzie. You cannot do anything. Except waiting at least 2 hours for restart of the server...

Yeah. And you are getting XP for driving and level of the profile is slowly increasing (was added in update yesterday).

"Week" has 7 days, not 5 days. So "Next week" means, it could be released from 00:00 12.12.2022 (Monday) to 18.12.2022 23:59 (Sunday). So they have at least 1 day and 7 hours to release it, right? That's not that hard to understand I think. Otherwise, since the game has still a lot of bugs, I think that the map is really not priority number one. So it could take more time, don't forget that this is only expected release date, not final 😉

@Alex96x2 Uetam already answered in this topic:

This is normal. Some old locomotives in Czech Republic use this speedometer and it's even very inaccurate in real life. So it would be probably based on real life.

Yeah, I have same issue. The graphic when it's rainy doesn't look that good like as everyone posting.

Hi, I would like to report important bug with AI dispatchers at station Lazy. AI dispatcher send me with line S1 (EN76) to wrong way. I had to stop at Wiesolka, but AI dispatcher sent me to some "bypass", where this station isn't exists. Due to this, I cannot stop at multiple stations. I drove to the staion Dabrowa Gornicza Zabkowice directly, but I got a lot of negative points for missing a few stations. Fortunately, I can continue to Katowice without any problems. I hope someone won't got blocked by AI dippatchers due to this bug.

Hi, I just wanted to ask why the slots of the servers are different than here on the forum? There isn't enough services to get up to 50 slots or why?

The difference between your screenshot from Psary Katowice Zawodzie is easy. Katowice Zawodzie: You don't have locked switches, so the way be set in multiple ways - that's why you have to set the route "one by one" signal. You can check the image in the attachments, the game can set for the train various types of the way (path). Psary: You have locked switches, so trains can go only straight way. There isn't any other way for the train like as in Katowice. PS: That yellow thing in Psary on switches means, that it is locked and cannot be moved to other position without manual unlocking by dispatcher. Possible ways to set path for the train(s) (example):

Sometimes, but it got worse after the latest update. I never have issues before the update.

Hi, I found out that passengers won't board once the doors will close. For example: I will arrive at the any station, I open the doors - passengers start walking to the train. Opened doors will stay opened for maybe 5 seconds, then the doors are automatically closed, but passengers are still going to the closed doors. Then they will open doors themself with buttons, but they don't board. They are still standing before the opened doors. And I also found out, that passengers board only in first 5 seconds (with first opening doors) - then they don't board. It's looks like this is some bug.

Hi, I would like to suggest a new feature. I would like to see usernames (player's name) and informations above the train. Once the player will be near you, you can see username and the information. For example: once the train will be in 100-200 metres ahead you, you can see: "Username | Number of the train" and under "Distance between our and his train (in metres)" ... or something like this.

Hi, It would be nice if you could see the position of the train when you are browsing list of the available trains. Also there can be start and end station, because you don't know which direction you are driving.

And what should I do when the control "JAZDA NA OPORACH" lights up (orange light)? There isn't any note about that in the manual. With this light you mostly cannot drive.
