I guess there appears to be a bug in the pathfinding or something…

 
We’re going to improve the whole main connection issue. We have read all your concerns and are going to address most of them about this feature with one of the next patches. 

Warm thank you for you message. Could i ask bit more specific info please? How it will be fixed and will it remain as a mandatory rule for all or will it be difficulty level dependant? Or just plain on / off function?

Best regards,

Pasi

There is a huge misunderstanding, feature should be removed now. Not improved in a future. As you could see on Steam stat page of Train Fever – huge amount of customers bought the game, they tried it on 26-29Dec but numbers went down like falling rock. All those thousands people were not satisfied.

Its 3 weeks from connection issue patch, but a remove Hotfix is not available. it is hazardous to the Urban games business and very arrogant to the customers.

I ask you re-think your approach. Check paradox interactive communication, check Larian studious communication.

I understand that Gambitous has announced to release TF at summer 2015. After a their fall, Urban games managed to release the game a year sooner, that impressive. Well  The train fever game is in an “early access ” status, but you want a full price from your customers. In the process of patching development you ignore any open betas, any tests. You simply flush another version and you customer take it or leave it. That should improve.

Well, I fully understand that there is a group of German moders who would swallow anything with a train on it. but well, there are a lot of other people. I think you should be more soft, you know City Skyline is coming.

I wish you well to the new year. I hope you jump back on track.

Everything is a main connection!

 
1 – There’s a hotfix on the German modders site that essentially removes the feature from the game which can be found on http://www.train-fever.net/index.php/Thread/2230-TFPatchPlus . Use that in the meanwhile. Even if they merely improve it and you want it gone, said hotfix will remove the function for you.

Also, let’s try to give them a bit of fair due, nearly all the western trains that can be found for TF (think ICE3, Stadler Flirt, NS Class 1600, …) can all be found there. If anything, the German love for simulators is what’s giving this game its mods (+ of course the fantastic people at transportgames.ru).

 
2 – Cities: Skylines is a different game, focused on picking up where Sim City 4 left off. Thus, the focus is on city building and inter-city cooperation rather than transportation networks (with a particular attention to trains). Both games should be able to co-exist, similarly to how Cities in Motion 2 existed alongside Cities XL & Sim City [2013].

No offense meant, just adding some nuance.
