SimRail upcoming update

[ツExpl0r_rr]

For those who be writing that the game is dead - 13th of December 2024 is the official date of the 1.0 version of SimRail (src: official Facebook page of the game), including the (personally long awaited) Tunel - Krakow route extension.

Feel free to share your thoughts about the news (or what you would like to see in the update).

For me the game is very dead. As long as there is no save function, as promised it it is barely playable for me. The radio, which is essential is bugged and as far as I know it is not yet fixed.
Also, no documentation at all. I like a lot what it looks like and it is very promising, but I have no trust in the developers at the moment. I bought it when the game save was promised with three months, but nothing happens. No fixes, no updates. I may give it a try again after release, but at the moment I do not play it at all.

I play for railfor railway feeling/ not for save game button. Devs have never promissed the game save with three months.

only thing alive about this game is the: ^game is dead^ thread, and yes they did promised a save in 3 months its clearly viable on roadmap only thing is its been a year....

This "game is dead^ thread has turned dead shortly after news about the close release date came up. All adepts of "dead game" sect were confounded.

I didn't say the game was dead. I said that nothing is going as it was announced at the beginning of this year and nothing that was announced was until today
added on So I'm not confused. If someone says that a 1.0 release is coming and also says that the tunnel will be part of it, that's fine. But he doesn't say a word about BR 52. And no, I will not go to any Facebook, because as a person who does not have a profile there, browsing is very difficult. If someone intends to sell the game via Steam, they should primarily put the information here. Howg

Dear passengers. We apologize and regret to inform you that the train led by locomotive BR 52 will be delayed by at least half a year for unspecified reasons. End of station radio announcement.

Agreement. I'm the same way. Not that I mind the lack of a save option, but the game offers practically nothing in singleplayer. No missions, no shunting, no challenges.....And multiplayer? That's an episode unto itself. I'd rather play TS, TSW, Derail or Railroader and have more fun. I'm older than the release date, so the priority for me is not the graphics, but the gameplay or the depth of the simulation.

You know what else turned dead after people complained about news?
The NEWS Section died...
Hence why nobody even knows that the game is finally coming out in December ....
becaues the devs themselves dont give a F*** who knows if it's coming in December or not....

What's the issue you're having with the radio? I've never encountered any problems with it.

It shouldn't be the players' job to inform the community about upcoming updates. The developers have no interest in keeping players up to date here on Steam.
Either you get information from external sources or you don't get any information. I find this behavior by the developers extremely disrespectful.

And yes, the game is basically dead or will disappear into obscurity in the near future.
- updates are very, very rare. At this rate, it is impossible for the game to become what many hope.
- All stations and trains are almost deserted
- the trains rock randomly to the left and right and you can't turn off this annoying and inferior-looking effect, despite repeated requests to the developers. They don't care whether it's annoying or not.
Instead of properly simulating bumps on the tracks, they stick to these cheap random effects.
- the graphics don't look up to date
- many things in the trains don't work and nothing will change that. - the remaining hardcore players cling stubbornly to the developers' promises and believe every word they say.
- there is absolutely no added value in using this game/sim. You can feel the lack of attention to detail and the developers' desire to change something at every turn. A large part of the blame for this lies with the many positive reviews on Steam (in my opinion the reviews should be predominantly negative)
- this game is simply cheaply programmed and cobbled together with things bought together.
- now they are trying to keep the game financially alive with DLCs, which will fail sooner or later because the number of buyers will simply be too low.

This game is only liked because some people really want to like it. However, without objectively looking at the shortcomings and the lack of quality. I think that many players try to sugarcoat things but in reality they know that the game is rubbish. They just don't want to admit it. It would be too annoying to realise that they were fooled and that they wasted a lot of time.
I don't want to waste any more of my time with this eternally unfinished and cheaply implemented game/sim.

- The graphics are up to date, they are realistic. If you want to argue, give an example of how they aren't.
- Most things in the trains do work, and much more stuff is simulated than in many other simulators.

as i said dead, 50, 100, 400, or a 1000 daily is a dead game! if it is 400 that is around 2 people from every country, let that sink in to understand 400 is nothing.

and that 400 is daily, that doesnt mean you will see 400 people online at the same time, no buddy that is during all day. my numbers up there when you log in and you see people playing 20 servers, 15 with 0 players, 1 polish almost full, 1 german half empty, and the rest with few players here and there. DEAD!

400 concurrent players. 400 players playing at one time, at around 15-18 UTC. Ofcourse not all of them will be playing on servers...

The all time peak of players on simrail is 2379, and 400 compared to that with 6 months after last update is not bad. So it's not completely dead, there are still players.
