Game Update 6.8.1 (Product Care 5)

 

Dear players,

 

The time has come to inform you about what is in our 5th Product Care Update!

Are your trains rather stubborn, resisting any changes? Did they keep sticking to old schedules, even though you told them to change their ways? We have given the trains a good talking to and made some improvements that will make them follow the schedules you set for them.

We heard about the futuristic trains, teleporting wherever they please, and we have stopped that behaviour. From now on, they will remain in the present and stick to their routes.

Remember the little black caterpillar crawling over your screens? Its name is Pollux, and it has received a new coat of paint!

Of course, we have also taken care of a whole bunch of other annoying little bugs, thanks to all your reports. Thank you for that!

Have fun playing,
Your Rail Nation Team

We have given the trainspotters a new outline to stand out better. We have adjusted the size of the passengers icon on the bonus engine card. The Pollux has received a new coat of paint and should look nicer when chugging along on the map. We have reworked the design of some of the goods icons for better differentiation (steel, bauxite, copper ore and glassware). RN-9910 – ACCESSIBILITY: Adjusted the colour of links on a dark background for better visibility. RN-9357 – ASSOCIATION: Fixed an issue where the option "blank" was missing from the "symbol" section. RN-5021 – BROWSER: Fixed the missing display of the Rail Nation logo in browser tabs. RN-9703 – BUY ENGINE: Fixed an issue where the link to the laboratory would not stop loading if trying to select a train of a previous era that had not been researched yet. RN-4844 – LANGUAGE: Fixed an issue where the game would start in English, even if German had been previously selected. RN-9237 – LANGUAGE: Fixed an issue where the tutorial would show an empty speech bubble after switching language. RN-8759 – LOADING: Fixed an issue where the game world would not finish loading if the monitor was used in pivot mode. RN-8394 – MAP: All train positions should now be displayed correctly when track maintenance is active, with no "teleporting" occurring anymore. (If you're still encountering this bug, please contact the Support Team and provide as many details as possible about the actions you performed before/while encountering the bug. Thank you!) RN-4705 – MESSENGER: The system messages will now be shown with the correct font when containing a link. RN-8253 – NAME CHANGE: Fixed a bug which allowed changing the avatar name to a new name with fewer characters than the minimum amount allowed. RN-10121 – POWER BONUS: Fixed an issue where the speed bonus displayed the wrong value. RN-9900 – PRIMUS: The correct number of waggons is now displayed for the Primus in the starter package. RN-9822 – RANKINGS: Fixed an issue where multiple screens would open on top of each other when clicking containers in the ranking too quickly. RN-1992 – STATION: Fixed a bug where it was possible to exceed the maximum level of the engine house when buying the starter package twice. It is also no longer possible to buy the starter package more than once. RN-9884 – TRAIN LIST: The "by schedule" filter now displays the correct filtered list. RN-9718 – TRAIN LIST: Previously chosen filters should now apply to all available train lists, even after moving trains to or from the museum or similar. RN-2044/2052 – TRAIN SCHEDULE: Trains now accept the new schedule when changing the schedule for all trains. (If you're still encountering this bug, please contact the Support Team and provide as many details as possible about the actions you performed before/while encountering the bug. Thank you!) RN-6142 – TUTORIAL: Fixed an issue with the green and fully researched panels of the upgraded train. They are no longer interactive.
