Freight platform animations have stopped working

[joe_schmoe_gamer]

When a train unloads freight the doors on the freight bin are not opening and there are no sound effects.

I assume you are close to them. because at a distance they often dont do the whole animations or the sounds...and you dont need to be all that far off for it to begin skipping steps. Sometimes I roll into a station and the animation starts as I arrive then abruptly resets as the train is pulling out before the animation finishes (due to it starting when i arrived and thus is started late)

I'm hovering right next to it through the whole cycle.

sounds like a bug to me. I assume though the trains come and go in a reasonable time even though the animations dont play.
the first step would be to verify your files via steam client. then maybe file a bug report and maybe upload your save to the report. Its possible your hardware or drivers might be at play or maybe its just some issue with the game and how it interacts with your hardware.

We will need to see if anyone else comes up here to say they have the same issue as well.

[joe_schmoe_gamer]

Yes, they operate properly. I just miss seeing the animation and hearing the containers groan and bang when loading and unloading.

You say you are hovering, I assume up in the air w/ the jetpack or something? Try touching down to the ground. I don't know, it may be some kind of bug where the game doesn't quite know where you are so the animation isn't loading. Perhaps being on the ground will reset it.

Standing next to it makes no difference.

Is anyone else having this problem?

yesterday they weren't working at all for me, i made a new train system loop and it wouldn't path, then it started to on its own, randomly, then later on one of the bays would regularly get stuck half way into the animation and just teleport between being empty then full. i was also having issues with stuff connecting, like tracks or just placing stuff. i dunno if it was cause i was 10 hours in or what though

Other then the scenario I outlined above where I come in quickly from a distance I havent seen anything else similar to what you described.
maybe someone else has a similar problem and you guys can compare notes and narrow down the cause but right now I really cant help myself as I dont have the issue in the way you do.
