Game Not Starting After Update?

[BigVern]

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.

You don't seem to be having much luck which is a real shame!

I guess first port of call would be to do a verify game files.

I had to verify game files due to an error after the update, worked ok after that.

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. 

[BigVern]

Okay files verified, let's see what happens.

A couple of minutes later...

Game started, select train on English Driver Only session. Server termination message followed a few moments later putting me in the cab of the EN96 with radio beeping frantically. However once again, nothing is working - rear pantograph is showing raised but external view shows it's not. I tried lowering and raising but no effect again, same with front pantograph. Shut the cab down (apart from battery as I can't find the switch) and restart but still nothing.

I give up with this, not worth the hassle in its current release. I'll try again in a couple of weeks when single player is unlocked.

Firewall settings, antivirus, etc.

There is a thread somewhere here on the forum how 2. GL

I already checked those and Simrail is ticked for access. But I will double check, just to be sure.

Well after a couple of abortive attempts I finally managed two successful runs, one on the EN02 and another on the EN07 server. So it does look as if the connection problem is at the server end. Maybe something needs tweaking.

i've had no real issues playing, i've been using the EN(for drivers only) server... or something like that.

When i try the beginners server, i either load in as about the 8th train in a row stuck at a red light, or get so far then get stuck at a red light never to move again.

[BigVern]

I think EN02 and EN06 are the best bets at present.

I wonder if the stuck trains are due to AI not taking back over if you have to leave the session?
