No my first experiences are not really selling this to me, I'm afraid to say. @Jason - I'll try that later on this evening.

I have been getting this all the time. Sometimes you get another loading sequence after pressing okay, then Esc after the "interruption" screen, but when I sat in the loco couldn't get anything to work despite switches etc being on. On a hunch I checked my firewall settings and SimRail already ticked, so not that. Over to the devs on this one.

To be honest with this and now the game not starting at all after the update, think I will give it a miss for a couple of weeks until a better build emerges.

Steam just finished the update but when I try to launch from the desktop item or within Steam, nothing happening. Anyone else encountered this? Not my PC as just started TSW3 with no issues.

I am currently having the same issue here. Tried both the EMU and EU07. Places me in the cab under autopilot with train stationary. Take the train out of AI control, everything is shown "on" but the pantographs are not raised. Toggling the switches has no effect, they stay down. I tried shutting down the cab and battery then switching on, following the procedure in the EU07 guide. Still can't get the pantograph(s) to raise. The only factor might be prior to the run starting I had the server disconnected message each time, but it then loaded with a message that the session was interrupted. However I can escape from that screen into the cab where, as noted above, nothing is working. Very frustrating!

If you are taking over on the move, game should have the radio already on (IMHO) to avoid this.

Check your loco (straight) brake hasn't applied. I couldn't get power back just now and for some reason it had gone to 100%. IMHO we need an extra section on the HUD showing the actual brake handle positions. Also how do you lap the brakes on the EU07, either initial or full service?

All good now, might have been my firewall although SimRail was showing enabled. Anyhow good experience, it's still a bit rough around the edges but loads of potential. Probably need to start with something easier than the EU07. Biggest issue with the test I can see really is AI signaller quiting out and everything stood at red signals. The radio button does nothing.

Okay guys, thanks for the assistance. Guess I'm just so eager to play I was getting impatient. Time to jump in and try again.

Getting nowhere with the multiplayer side of things. When I've tried to get on a server it drops and just left with what appears to be a loading screen which then has to be exited via Task Manager. The trains available on servers (even if I can connect) are for 30 or 60 minutes time - I want to get straight in and drive, not hang around. For those of us with limited time, I really think you need to consider opening the Single Player test as soon as possible. Sorry to moan, but I'd really been looking forward to trying and testing Simrail but this is a very poor introduction to the experience. Guess it's back to TSW3 until 21 December.
