Ongoing Investigation: SP6 Route Performance & Redraw Issues

[pware]

Has anyone seen anything as to when Steam clients would be able to preview some of this?

The short answer is no!

The longer answer is that a Steam or Mac fix test version, or maybe the full fix release (possibly SP6 HF) will be released when they are ready. Experience should tell you that fixes posted in haste to satisfy demands are usually a source of more problems. Perhaps that is what caused this problem in the first place but to be fair, N3V reported that none of their QA and internal tests revealed the problem and none of their initial beta testers reported the problem (although some have disputed that). So how much testing do you do before releasing anything?

SP6

I am guessing that you are using the original SP6 released a week or two ago. This is the one that is causing all the problems. The current SP6fix release is available for testing only for the Windows versions of Trainz Plus and TRS22 bought or subscribed from the official Trainz Store (not Steam).

is it beta or alpha

is it beta or alpha

It is a 'Hot Fix" for SP6 but since it is being tested by some members of the community and not just inside N3V (where it would be called an "alpha") then I suppose you could call it a "beta".

I am glad to be hearing this information.

Hotfix 1 to SP6 is out. It's on the regular Trainz+ stream. (edited)

Is it finished for Trainz 22 retail version?

It updated my 22PE version from the TRS22 stream so I guess so. N3V will probably put something out about it. I wasn't an active member of the beta test group.

What is your Build Number?.

What is your Build Number?.

TRS22+ is 132284
TRS22PE is 132285

 

[nugget2225]

Thank you, I am now at build 132285 on Trainz 22 PE. I will patch Trainz+ as well. Hope all the issues are resolved.

Checked briefly the fix. Shuddering persists... If there are no AI trains in session, it might be acceptable, but with AI trains it shudders as crazy.

Thanks to everyone for their help with getting this SP6 hot fix turned around quickly.

Trainz 22 – SP6 Hot Fix 1

We’re pleased to announce the release of SP6 Hot Fix 1 for Trainz 22. This update is the direct result of working closely with our core users to address feedback around the memory monitoring system we fine-tuned in SP6, and ensuring a speedy turnaround to deliver improvements as quickly as...

Why after your updates do locomotives not have as many positions as in reality, but only 8? Although in reality there are 42. Why was it necessary to touch this? https://ibb.co.com/TDMXCK2d

imo, that always happened even in the first TRS22 iterations.

No, in SP5 it worked fine, after updating to SP6 it stopped working at all

SP6 Hot Fix 1
Mac version. Minimal benefit. Recovered 1/2 frame max. I'm once again forced to reset the settings to the minimum and remove the shadows.

HF1: On some routes: GPU usage constantly fluctuates from 50/60% to 100%; on all routes: rarely more than 1/3 of available VRAM is used, and frametime is not regular either (between 15 and 45ms).

I've done a quick test with Midwestern Rails with TRS22 PE and am happy to report performance is smooth.
Thanks for the quick turn around.

Cheers

Same in Trainz Plus.
