Bugs and glitches

[dubina5516]

Hello everyone. Please tell me how to get rid of bugs and glitches in the game??? I'm playing Cajon Pass on the map. I chose the free game mode. The problem is that over time, bugs and glitches appear in this game mode. either the arrows of the tracks do not translate, or the traffic light does not switch. or on one of the paths, the traffic light will stick in the same color and will not switch. and how to get rid of this problem is unclear. In general, the game is very interesting, but because of this problem, it is impossible to play in a free game. and so I would like to create and form various compositions as you think of it. I would also like to add passenger trains to such places, not just freight transportation. There are railway stations on both sides of the Cajon Pass.

You can report bugs at DTG forums or submit a bug report to customer service. If you do so, make sure to create a simple situation to demonstrate the issue and include each step on how to reproduce the issue.

But, you should not have very high expectations something will be done. There always will be more bugs thancan be solved withing available budget, so DTG will judge how important it is to solve an issue. If an issue really breaks gameplay= you cannot proceed anymore, this may get a high priority. A level crossing that does not close or open will get a fairly low priority.

My humble opinion is that you are not setting paths and or way points correctly for your consists in Free Roam. This is why you are encountering Red Signals and switch misalignment.

Once you set a path you tend to be green lighted all the way to the end. Any main signals that are controller operated will be switched to the path you have set from A to B although manual switches will still be your responsibility.

To be honest I have only encountered problems in Free Roam when I have tried, in vain, to go up the down line or vice versa

Unfortunately, there is no tutorial for Free Roam yet but there is a training tutorial that shows how to switch in person and in 2D map mode (9 on keyboard) in the training centre.

The past several Months I have only used Free Roam, but I don't do it in Free Roam itself, I do them in the Timetable.

Yes the signals will bug out A LOT because this entire feature was only half baked and rushed out the door as it "worked" to some extent, so no more money should be spent on making it "work properly".

Don't listen to dougsie, you are not making any mistakes here, you are just encountering a half made feature [if Dougsie knew any better, than they would know that if you set a Route, and the Game approves it, then you can drive it... if you can't drive a Route, the Game will reject it].

So really, you just need to not try and achieve a Route you are trying to do, because it won't work, and DTG will NOT ever fix something like that. They find patching a texture a lot more important than features they sell a new Game for not working correctly.

In Free Roam [not Timetable Free Roam], there should be absolutely no reason a Red shouldn't turn Green as there is no traffic at all.

A true "Free Roam" would have had no signalling at all. TSC's Free Roam is all green, no waypoints even need to be set, you just drive and go where you want on the fly. However, TSC was made by some people who actually were more passionate about the industry than DTG are, they are only interested in easy and quick money unfortunately.

yeah right the expert has arrived.

As I said if you try to set a route that is incorrect you will not succeed. If set a route that is possible you are green lighted. Obviously you do not know what you are doing.

Yes... you will certainly not succeed because there will be no Route there if it were rejected...

Basically, you are implying that the OP is not setting a Route that is allowed... so basically you are calling him stupid by not reading the big text box that pops up saying that the Route can't be made????

I mean, me personally, I am looking at this topic that they KNOW how to set a Route.... and are simply experiencing the issues that Free Roam provide.... which is red signals when they should be Green...

You do realise that there are many topics created about this, in Steam, AND the Official DTG Forums???

Are you honestly trying to imply that this feature works 110%???

EDIT:

I'd also like to point out, because I didn't actually mention it to the OP before, that switches don't always change when setting a Route, because you need to adjust the setting to allow automatic switching.

[dougsie]

well whilst you have never got anywhere I have carried out some extensive travelling after working it out. Yes it is lonely in the sandbox but I got to see the route in full.

You try and make out TSW is a disaster in every one of your posts. It is not and it can be irritating but your constant bile and invective makes you more of a troll than help.

If honesty is "trolling".... then ok sure.... w/e LOL.

Who said I have never gotten anywhere???

Maybe if DTG provided something good to speak about, I wouldn't speak so negatively about them. That's pretty simple logic right there, and as I've already told you, I have spent many years speaking high of some of the stuff they do.. just that for several years, there is nothing good to say.

If you don't like my honest and open truth of their work ethic, then please do put me on ignore.

=]

[dougsie]

I never ignore I prefer to confront head on. If you want to start personal attacks that's fine.

My glass is half full I have a great time with a few irritations that I mostly get around.

You on the other hand, the way you describe it, are seemingly playing a game where everything is broken to the point that its not worth playing. Your glass seems to be empty.

I never imply anything I try to assist those that can't make things work.

Your advice was - don't listen to him it is broken go do something else instead. That was so helpful I was truly impressed by the way you wanted to get the OP back on track.

[N Quarter]

Well, tbh I don't ever talk about my gaming experiences, I only really ever post on Forums in regards to someones issue, or thought. Infact, I have MANY TIMES already explained to you and why I enjoy TSW, however you seem to have memory problems.

Either that, or you have a tendency to only focus on the negatives around people, rather than understanding a whole picture. Each to their own.

However, my glass is 100% full, because I don't play TSW much... I play other Games that work much better and offer a much more fluent experience.

On the subject at hand, I find my advice to be pretty handy to know and useful to this current topic, as I'm simply saving their time with worrying too much over something that may not have any solution.... providing them MORE gameplay time that has a better chance at working...

Your advice on the other hand was simply implying that they don't read warning boxes that pop up, and THAT'S the reason why they have a Red light...

Again.... this issue has been reported in Steam, and official DTG Forums.... yet simply because YOU haven't had any issues, than the feature is fantastic and works a charm.

Honesty is helpful.

Enough said. I rest my case.

[dubina5516]

I've already checked it on purpose, too. Launched another DLS location. Already at another location, I have arrow switches and traffic lights all working. But the distance indicator disappears from the screen after a while and you have to turn on the map with the 9 key to see how much more distance you need to travel. That's why I think many DLS are bugged in different ways. Either they are still raw or the developers themselves simply do not want to fix them. But in general, the game is very interesting and you can enjoy playing on the chill. But these bugs and lags sometimes get boring, which makes you lose the desire to play. If they fixed it all, then many people would be dragged out by the game for a long time, just like the ETS game.

[dougsie]

yes I know what you mean. Totally agree. With nearly 1,200 hours on ETS, I have found It is a great simulation where I've never had much of a problem, you know, sort of like TSW with around 600 hours played.

It's a pity though that when I go to the ETS comments on Steam I find it (according to the critics) a broken game that SCS has, yet again, failed to sort out (their words not mine).

Who'd have thought!!

The only "case" that has been rested, is the fact that you seem to have tunnel vision and a case of "fanboyism".

You claim to be an older experienced gamer, yet it seems you lack experience in life itself. You don't believe in open and honest opinions, you believe more on "if I like something, i must NEVER say a bad word about it".

Infact, you also try and claim you know other people more than they know themselves, even when people have explained their way of thinking, and reasons for their opinions.

Here's a quote of something I have already sent you a couple Months ago or when ever it was.

Don't get me wrong, I've been a "customer" since 2013/14 starting with TS Classic, before Train Sim World was even a thing.

I too used to defend them on many occasions with the quality of their Routes always being my number 1 defence [and I still would], however at the end of the day I'm also a realist, and I don't believe that simply because I like "something" means I have to like [or be quiet about] everything that is also wrong or broken.

If something is good, I say it's good, if somethings bad, I say it's bad. This doesn't mean "I don't like the Game", this simply means that I have an open mind, and an open opinion. I don't believe sitting here staying quiet because I like "something" and mislead the Developers that "oh everything is wonderful", while I could be here trying to stand ground and say that things are simply not as they should be with the hopes that they will instead say "maybe we need to rethink a few things".

Nothing will improve otherwise, and although I have absolutely nothing against people who defend the Game, I have a problem with people who don't understand that saying something negative ISN'T a bad thing, which results in some petty argument now starting.

Feedback is feedback, good or bad, it's there to share to hopefully make improvements for all whether they want to use them or not. I honestly can't understand this "stay quiet and all's well" mentality.

However, over the years, there seems to be less and less good things to really say about DTG, and that completely falls on their marketing focus rather than Community focus.

Here, I'll quote a smaller section of that quote to try and make you understand cause I know you seem to have some reading issues, and that's fine.

And here, I'll break that quote down even further for you, maybe you might start getting it.

You see... YOU are on the side of ruining this Game for acting like a push over and making it seem like this Game is flawless. You get your panties in a twist EVERYTIME someone says something negative.

But to quote something I've already quoted in this post, and in the past, but to try and get you to understand, here I'll post another little snippet.

Originally posted by N Quarter:

This is 100% YOU.

You cannot accept someones open opinion because I'm hurting your feelings and all. You tend to see ANYTHING negative said to be a bad thing, when in reality, negativity is needed to actually bring improvements along.

So you can sit there and "try" and believe in your little mind that you are "all mighty", when in reality, anyone capable of seeing all angles of something at the same time and still feel happiness and sadness, are FAR superior then a tunnel vision perspective.

I hope you feel so proud of yourself that you are a big part of why the Gaming Industry is going downhill so badly... You allow rubbish to litter our Stores, and you praise them for it.
