Problem with some players..
Yesterday, some problems arose with some players connected to the server. Some connect to the server, as controllers, and then block all the traffic lights on red, preventing the trains from proceeding, this happened, in particular, on the Italian server, where some non-Italian players, just for fun, blocked everything. We need a system to avoid this problem, automatic or manual, signaling the player who behaves in this way, to take him expelled from the server, in order to restore the normal functionality of the game... :steamsad:

I wish for private servers...

They could come up with some type of system were red lights have limited time, or some sort of train on track ID were red lights can not be permanetly closed by dispatchers.

Thats why I would like more Singleplayer content.

This is why I dont like Multiplayer in Train Sims. You always get these kind of people.

Appart from people that don't like multiplayer, I think it is great to have it. It is the first moments of this sim in multiplayer and I think they will give more tools in the future to control this situations. Appart of (I hope) dedicated servers that we can implement passwords and control those people, plus make our own economic or simulation of routes.
If RUN8 do it, I don't know why this new sim cannot do it also.

Devs should just perma-ban them. If they want to spend £30 every time, more fool them

This was a problem during play test which seems to have been ignored by the devs. Only solution is to look for a quiet server with few players on it, though no guarantee the malcontents won't cross over.

Exactly why they need to crack on and improve the single player game, all day timetable and put in a save function.

It is not difficult to find methods and systems to eliminate the problem.
But first of all, if we also evaluate who, not having the slightest idea, of how railway traffic control works, a sort of multi-level tutorial would be needed before giving the possibility to access multiplayer as a controller, now , they throw themselves in without even daring what to do, and block everything, it is necessary that whoever wants to be an inspector must first have driving experience, get to a certain level, and then, together with mandatory tutorials, they will be able to be inspectors.

The game should have a "vote for kick" system where everyone on the server can then vote for kick the troll user. If as ex. 60% are for kicking him he should be kicked for the next 24 hours.
If the user get multiple reports within a specific time then he should be banned for lifetime or at least for minimum 1 month from the multiplayer mode.

I dont see currently any other chance to get rid of those senseless trolls.

Thats beside the missing content for this price one of the biggest reasons why i refunded it because it does not make fun then the singleplayer mode is not present for me without a save function.

I will buy it again later when development is more advanced.

The counterpart of course is that a voting system could also be abused to falsely remove an innocent party. Then you get involved in an appeal process and who would administer that?

there is a report function though dunno if it actually works

To be honest?? I dont know whats difficult to implement a time table like in TSW2 or 3 and give us the the controller mode to have fun in single player with AI trains scheaduled with time table.

And thats also another valid point too.
