TRS22 Retail - PC & Steam (PC & Mac) 122142, 122138 & 121964
We have a new set of Beta builds for you this weekend. Thank you to all those who have currently tested Trainz Plus and TRS22 Beta. We have a series of builds and some will have MPS Support.
*** These builds DO NOT have prebuilt shaders! ***
This will cause the first launching of Trainz Plus/TRS22 will take significantly longer, as will the first viewing of any HD Terrain while the shaders are built on the first run. This is not a bug. Once the shaders have been built, it will no longer need to be rebuilt and Trainz will return to regular loading times.
As usual, we encourage you to try things out with a fresh install first and then work towards more extensive testing using your unique installed content.
