First I should explain I build everything in SP1 so everyone with TRS19 can use/play with whatever I create, although I'm mostly back to Tane. I consider SP1 (in TRS19) more stable than SP2 or eck, SP3 but hay, that's just my opinion. Here's an example of how even in SP1 the game is horribly unstable, and I'm not talking about freezes and CTD after saving a route/session. For some time (but not lately since the op) I've been working on updating the Warwick route. I've also created some sessions.
So yesterday I finally made myself get back to it to finish it off. Today I decided the route was ready but I needed to finalise the sessions. I tweaked one and went to drive it. This requires backing the engine out of the shed, and up to the consist.
Half the consist had gone.... until I noticed the other half had mysteriously moved down the track and - wait for this, had been spun around so the guards van was in the middle of what would be the whole consist if re-joined!!!
Now explain to me how even with corrupt coding, can it split a consist, move half down the track (about 8 wagon lengths) then spin that half around??? I dare you explain that one. Ok, we all know there is no answer, but I say it again. Stop adding more features and FIX THE PROBLEMS. Unless these sort of (growing) problems aren't sorted you'll get what you are now getting. Far more problems that have broken the game and will make any new version unviable. The way this game is going is not going to make it a viable, profitable business and with the new competition coming any day now, you can't afford to ignore the warnings.
The hole is getting bigger (IMHO).
