I can't pass Tutorial 5. Bugged?

[Entorwellian]

I saw you had reported the bug using the form. That will ensure that they'll see it. They're located in Australia and deep into their weekend right now and will look at it next week, not that they'll have a fix for it immediately unless they have one ready to go.

Try the other tutorials. I don't remember what they are like anymore. I beta tested these back in T:ANE when that came out about a decade ago and I haven't looked at them since.

Off-topic, but I *just* realized that this is the same Auran company that created Dark Reign: Future of War decades ago. lol that is awesome.

It was. Auran passed away in 2006 when Fury forced them into bankruptcy and liquidation. Tony Hilliam, a longtime Trainzer put up the money and bought the assets and brought along employees and kept everything going. It's a bit more complex than that but that's the gist of it. We're lucky and very grateful that he did that otherwise we'd have nothing.

Well, it's January 14 2025 and this bug still exists. So yeah, they're listening...

That I did not know.

There won't be a fix until SP5 is released. N3V Games doesn't release hot fixes anymore for TRS22. The good news is that the release of SP5 seems to be in the any time now mode.

I submitted a video of the bug and support said that the bug was found and fixed and will be in the next update (SP5, I assume.)
I'm happy with the game and have been having fun in the meantime.

Well, that's encouraging. Is there a roadmap document so we can see what changes, improvements, fixes are scheduled?

While this is for the current beta, which is tested in Plus initially, it will give you a look at what's been fixed and will be available in SP5. The TLR is currently a Plus-only feature and it's still not quite ready for prime time.

In the 21 years I've been using Trainz, there has never been a scheduled release of fixes and improvements.

There was a "leak" that TS12 would have multiplayer added to it before the official release. Now I think a beta tester may have violated the NDA that we all signed to be a tester back then or maybe N3V wanted to test what the response would be but it set off a firestorm of rumors. There was a massive thread of crazy speculation about what multiplayer should or could be. I remember thinking as I read that thread and knowing what multiplayer mode was really going to be in the final release that a lot of people were going to be disappointed. Given the time (2011) and the nature of most people's Internet connections having very slow upstream speeds, what the programmers were able to make was pretty amazing. You and friends could operate trains on the same layout while talking to each other in Trainz chat. Cool stuff but the release was anti-climatic after all the wild crazy ideas were floated around.

After SP5, the tutorial has been fixed and is working fine. There are new pointers. What does this mean?
