I am VERY disappointed. This is a great game and it never gave me issues before, but now with the latest update put out it does NOT allow me to play it, it doesn't even allow the game to load up for me. I have a 3060ti GPU and i just went to play and it gave me the "A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine." message, so, at this point in time I completely wasted my money. IDK if I am doing something wrong or not, but i tried everything and it won't work for me. Last time I tried playing it with the newest major update that added the pre-layed tracks and everything, it worked great. I am off of work today so I just decided I wanted to play a relaxing game, so, I chose to load up Railroads Online, and... that's the message that I got. I bought the game a few years ago, so it's not like I can even get my money back, but, I am going to try since this is not my fault at all. Don't get me wrong, it's an AWESOME game, but if you're planning on buying it, just do your research beforehand and make sure it'll load up/work with your GPU.

a lot of issues that got highlighted in early access did not get fixed, they are making progress but it still isn't ready to be a fully released game yet, as others say, look into railroader before you buy this and be aware, there are bugs and it is quite clunky

It feels too monotonous. Without an automated job list, or AI helpers, there is too much "work" for a single player to do on their own in a reasonable amount of time.
I made $120 in one job. The next locomotive costs $2000. Doing the same thing 17 times is not fun.
