Atoka220 Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Today i was playing dispatch on Sosnowiec Południowy At times after a train passed through the interlocks, i couldn't confirm the train arrival, no green '-' mark above the interlock and KO was also greyed out. This resulted in having to use SZ, however when a train came from the locked direction, it reset the interlock and i could confirm the arrival, therefore fixing it. After that it happened on the other end of the station. Twice in a row. Now since these things happen irl I declared it a signal failure and worked accordingly trying to solve the problem but i can't decide if these failures are actually part of the game (which is very nice cause you know, it happens irl too) or it was a bug. For this reason I wasn't sure if i should report it as a bug or not, so i thought i'll ask here first In the attachment you can see me letting out a train through the stuck interlock to Glówny towards Katowice with an SZ Edited August 2, 2023 by Atoka220 typo
Dolphin Invasion Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Did you give the original train a Sz signal into your station, cancel the route after it passed the signal, use the open crossing override, or notice that the interlocking arrow wasn't fully red? Any of those things will cause the interlocking to not activate the KO option
Atoka220 Posted August 3, 2023 Author Posted August 3, 2023 Neither of those happened. What exactly happened was, I gave permission to Glówny to send the train, he requested interlock direction, i confirmed it, arrow became steady yellow then half red, then as he sent the train, full red. After that I closed the gates and set the route. Was ready to confirm train arrival on the interlock and to raise the gates but after it has cleared that section, the green '-' mark didn't appear above the interlock arrow nor did the KO become clickable. However i could raise the gates. After some struggling when Glówny sent a train in with SZ, the train seemed to reset the interlock and the - mark appeared and i could KO it. Right after that, it also happened from the direction of Dandówka. Twice in a row... A player said that the interlock maybe wasn't prepared and therefore, couldn't KO it. What does that mean? Everytime all i did was click KO when the train cleared it and it worked. Also I tried refreshing objects, resetting axle counters, those didn't work either. Yes of course i could just leave, rejoin and have the ai cheat and reset everything in a moment but that's too cheap. I took it as a challenge to fix a problem in the system.
Fatality Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 To unblock the interlock in this situation, it seems to me that the only option is to send a substitute train by engaging the dKo command. I've been in this kind of situation before and it's the only way I've been able to get out of it without setting off an apocalypse. I do not think it's a bug belive this can happen if you do things in a radom ordrer or maybe too fast. I'm not sure
