I just was trying new patch features and started a new game. And I found a very unpleasant surprise: game now considers almost any street as main conection! I can’t remove any street, even these ones inside cities which have alternative ways.

There is one example:

It’s a bug? It’s intentional? I just can’t now demolish streets at my will even on easy mode? (I tried also that mode)

I noticed some performance drops and increased RAM memory usage too.

Greetings.

I’ve never played on hard though, but I don’t see it on medium now. Using mods?

edit: Just started a new game and now I see it, even on easy. Will take some time to get used to this..

Each and every road you see, has flag “Main connection” and cant be deleted.

Fully understand that you tried bring some challenge, but currently is a game in a status of betaversion, so most improvement should be focus on the performance, content, transport algoritms, user interface, models and textures. This “Main connection” style could be done in a year or so, when everthing is polished and tested. Maybe at the game start should be an option – Ironman and new set of Achievemnts. Right now this feature sends the game to hell.

I belive that you make a HOT fix, and focus on the other areas.

Thank you for not ruin the game.

“These changes lead to a more realistic passenger simulation and to a more interesting game experience.”

More realistic???? People only bulldoze roads for two reasons.

1, To make room for new rail infrastructure (as any rail company would do in real life)

2, To circumvent the games own FLAWED core that has goods still preferring to walk down a dirt road instead of using the 100kph rail line next to them!

For goodness sake Urban Games, FIX THE PROBLEMS IT HAS BEFORE ADDING MORE!

Costs to much ingame money, to much time and to much nerves to play this game on.

I agree with the first one. It is a problem especially in the mountains, where crossings cause awful changes in gradient of your track. But I have to disagree with the second reason. The core is not flawed, you are just not able to make your rail line interesting enough. In other words, it takes longer for the goods to get to the specific factory through your station than by walking. Try build the station near the factories or use a lorry to carry your cargo from station to the factories.
