How do I download the update? Bought the game via steam on my mac last week and still havent been able to play because it crashed as soon as i start the game. Does the update address this? Can you send me a link or something to download it, or is it automatic? In which case, it still crashed.
Thanks

Since the update, I have just problems with Train Fever on my Mac:
Yesterday I just had the fully black screen when loading a saved game (from before the update), I could only get our of it with forced quit of the game. Starting a new game was possible and run smoothly.
Today the game even crashed when loading, starting a new game is still working.
Hope you’ll fix it soon!
Oh, one more thing: The simulation speed is dropping to almost zero when one of those animated messages is opening in the lower centre (b.e.: vehicle to old, replace). Would it be possible to choose a simpler display for these (not animated or at least not growing/zooming when opening)?

In reply to CalDMint. Didn't know about the "ride along" opportunity. It's awesome, thanks a lot!

Keep up the good work 😉 This game still needs MUCH MORE improvements but you can make it PERFECT! 😉

Dear Team,

this is a nice little game and – once you understand its particularities – is already quite enjoyable. I look forward to see it progressing further, adding some much needed features like the possibility to add better working junctions, crossings and the likes.

Best regards,
Sebastian

“Windows XP” is 32 bit. Later, they released a distinct “x64” edition of it, and it was used by so few people that it has rarely had as much support at the standard 32 bit version.
Windows 7 was the first time they released both concurrently, and aimed for the x64 bit version to be the standard platform.
If you’re using XP x64, you’re picking about the most obscure recent Windows platform to expect support for. There can’t be more than a handful of people using it, and it really isn’t going to be worth any developers’ time to offer support for it.

In reply to paintera.

Sorry, but totally disagree. The game is much too static. The train cargo system is pretty boring. Nothing really happens except a few numbers change. People want to see visual animation. Vehicles should carry different goods and industries should grow and build as a result of your game play. Signals should change colors and semaphore arms should move. Grade crossings should have flashing lights and lowering gates.

The game still seems very much a beta product and unfinished. I hate to say it (cause I greatly support this effort), but I sometimes go back and play Locomotion because it is more fun and interesting.

There is something missing here. I am just hoping the developers keep changing things for the better. The reviews haven’t overall been that good and I really want this to succeed. This is not the new Transport Tycoon or Locomotion. It just isn’t. Let’s hope it becomes that soon.

Windows XP – Not Windows XP x32!

See? I can do the same!
