I'm gonna wait until next week to install the patch to see what other users have found, just in case. Great job on pushing the release to us and here's to many more releases from y'all!

 

[Tony_Hilliam]

Each time we update, we get reports of builds "breaking their content". Usually this can be traced back to people not following our recommended procedures, so here is a guide to those steps.

TIPS for a smooth update:

• If you manually change the name of your install folder or local data folder, then when you restart the game, a new local data folder will be created
• If you've renamed either of these, point your new build to the correct local data folder (in the Install tab)
• If Trainz is running a db repair, DO NOT force quit the process unless it is clearly hung.
• If you manually move any content into a new local data folder, you need to manually run a db repair
• If you have missing dependencies or faulty items, use List Dependencies to find what is missing.
• Once you've found if there is a single item or multiple items, you'll probably be able to work out if you've missed installing a whole set of content from Content Store for example.

That was quick considering we tested the MPS rounds just last night.

Just waiting for the Steam version to get updated which I know might be soon(TM)

Cheers

Downloaded and installed very quickly without problems on my SP4 beta computer. I had only read the first few points of your long list of fixes when it completed.

Installed just as quickly and with no problems on my SP3 computer.

The MPS test was successful. (Thanks for your help).

Steam is already live.

 

[JCitron]

The install was quick! I'm running the DBR right now and I'll continue on where I left off on my route building.

Thank you for the extensive hit list.

Hi Tony,

I have a string of Tank cars which I load in Surveyor and also set the hand brakes.
When the session starts they start to roll, because all the hand brakes are released....Not Good!!!
On the next track over there is a string of empty tanks with the hand brakes set.
When the session starts they remain stopped with the brakes set.

That was quick the Steam version. Took 74 minutes to rebuild my database:hehe:

Hope for more MPS testing in the future.

We had some bugs reported about handbrakes and fixed those specific problems> If I am understanding your problem correctly, some cars are working correctly and some are not? If that's the case, please provide the KUIDs of the ones not working. It is quite likely it is a content specific issue. You can also try removing and replacing them in case something was saved in the session data causing the issue.

I've been working in surveyor with build 114800 for about 12 hours. This is just putting down trees, buildings, roads, textures on terrain and adjusting terrain to form small lakes and sloughs but I've not had a problem.

Thanks Tony and crew.

Cheers, Jack

Ran my session on my Alma Valley Route. Saw only one car (a semi-cab truck) on the road. No other traffic. Checked my Region and all looked fine.

 

[FootplatePhil]

Thanks NV3. Downloaded and installed without issue. No issue so far in testing. Not sure if that means much though. The thing that really struck me about the list in Tony's post was how many issues with the previous build I had never come across!

 

[valbridge]

Downloaded 114800 without issues. Anyone know if the portal problem was resolved with this upgrade?
Val.

 

[superchris107]

Hello there. I just wanted to let you know about a few issues that were found in the most recent update to Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019: SP4. The most notable issue is that the Bogeys on half of the Engines within the game move faster than the Engines themselves when moving, as if they were slipping, as well as the wheels having a glitch to where they still move even when the Engine is idle after being stopped. This was also a major problem for the previous update to the game: SP3. Another Glitch that I have found has to do with the track. On certain Routes, the Track doesn't act like it should, acting like it's a part of the baseboard, and not being able to be interacted with or moved to some extent. I'm not sure why that is, but it is a problem that I was wonder could be fixed in another patch for the game, along with the Wheel Glitches. Thank you, and have a good day.

 

[JackDownUnder]

Updated tonight without any obvious issues. went straight to my route and ran my session. Up to this moment I have bot determined any issues.

 

[Christopher824]

Installed and noticed these problems

The crossings are now clicking again,

<kuid2:66277:80005:2> UnCouplezFrom is now not working correctly, it puts the hand brake on the decoupled car, it did not before, my hump yard is now broke,

Carz drive through each other, at crossings they pile on top of each other,

Trees like <kuid2:661281:75009:1> Tree Pine 2 Random Size - Seasonal, no longer change size in Surveyor when dragging them around

 

[DARTrider]

Patched installed smoothly and the game automatically ran a DBR. Seems good to me!
Everything ran smoothly.

Good Morning Tony,
(05:33 PDT)
Thanks for the quick reply!
All the tank cars are the same. ( KUID2:348207:100950:1).
I will go and replace and see what happens.


Ahhh, Tony, you are a genius!
I replaced the string of tank cars (With the same ones) and now it all works as I planned!!!

Thanks again!!

Dave

Thanks to Tony and crew and all beta testers
Download was fast, install without problems


Fixes repaired that were wrong in SP3
-super elevation
-turntables
-not starting trains in session cause the brake was on
-the minimap in Set-Driver-Control-Rule, now functions better, TY !


Interface
Consist graphical display when you do edit trains <...........>
if we ask for a fix, completely removing is the (easy) fix?
I can shoot my self in the head for posting it on forum :-(
another handy feature gone.


Still too big driver heads in the driver list that only shows max 4 trains
The strange sideway moving slider overlaps text,
plz hire an interface designer and/or listen to advice when it is given.
I will repair it for free if asked, so it will not cost you anything



Cabs
Many switches in cabs are at the wrong default position as Rbrooks repeatedly posted during beta phase
using them 1x will make them jump to the correct angle, but an obvious bug
what is the point of beta tests if the feedback is not used?
the notches are not visible (would be better if optional in settings on/off)


Physics wheel rotation
Some steam locs specially with big drive wheels, the wheels turn too fast
as p_dehnert posted a few times during beta testing, this looks unnatural.


Freeware becomes Payware

if a DLC(payware) route creator uses a freeware item from the DLS it suddenly becomes payware?
this is wrong and should not happen. example neoklai animated people.


It seems build 100240 still outclasses SP4 in many ways
SP4 is good if you just want to drive a session already made
Tane and Trs19 build 100240 are still the better choices for those that make content, route and sessions


Not being ungrateful, but fair, just want Trainz that I love to get better for all users
greetings GM
