I can get in to 2010 ok but TS12 and TANE CE are both not responding.
Anybody else having this problem?

TS12 may well be doing a database validation as there was an issue yesterday (not sure about today) involving the DLC server. As for T:ANE, I'm not sure.

Thanks Shane
I'll leave it for a while and see what happens. Very annoying though,

Speaking as someone who has, so far, resisted N3V's invitation to get involved in DRM-based gaming, are you saying it's not possible to go off-line and get TS12 SP1 or TANE CE to work? ie. you have to be online and connected to the server for the game to work?

That's Rubbish Paul, works perfectly well on or off line here thats TS12 Sp1 and T:ANE which stayed working all through that last server outage we had recently.
Not if you want any DLC purchased through SimulatorCentral or the old Auran store to work. Also, both T:ANE CE and the digital download version require a check-in for the game itself the run; put another way, only the boxed edition of T:ANE to be released on February 27th will allow you to run the game itself without DRM check-ins, and even that version will require them for DLC.
Thanks for responses. This is important, so I want to make sure I've understood - if you have a boxed version, then the basic game will work off-line, but not the digital download version? Also, Downloaded Content will not work offline, so if your route is using DLC-based dependencies (and many UK trainz community members use SnC DLC content in their routes), then those route will have 'missing' dependencies if you're working offline?
Just checking!
Paul
Just checking!

I do believe you are quite right Paul. It's S&C that causes the problem

Is it a rolling thirty days? As I was affected just two days after I had no internet connection!

That may well have been the point it needed to check in at on one of those two days.

Every 30 days or thereabouts you will need to be online. The time probably starts when the software is installed. This means that when the DRM server goes down (and it will), Trainz will be toast at some point in the next 30 days. You of course may not even notice this assuming N3V get the server back up before your next validation check.

I was offline for 7 days due to ISP failure and had no problem with SP1 DLC or anything missing also wasn't affected the other day when the servers went down, so guess it's a specific date thing?

This means then that there must be some form of clock built in to the game and if you are not online when it checks you've had it till you next go online. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
But if I'm right and, as I do, go away with my laptop for a few weeks at a time the game could be useless on the very first day away. (which would be just my luck)
So much for thirty days grace.

I'm snuggling up tight to my copy of TS12 build 49922!
Paul, I was wondering if there would be any possibility of some of the basic SnC dependencies (eg. scenery items) being uploaded to the DLS so they'd no longer count as DLC? Obviously the route itself and the rolling stock would be sacrosanct, but I fear there's a real risk people may start ditching SnC assets if they think they may cause DLC-related problems for their routes in the future.

I'll second that request, at the moment I have to carefully avoid S&C assets while route building if I want the route to have a wide audience. I do also have a WIP route which uses a some S&C assets and as it stands the audience will be restricted when it's released.
That said I will continue to encourage people to purchase the S&C if only for the rolling stock.
