It has nothing to do with “travel time”. I’ve made bypass to make sure there was no competition between industries.
What I understand is that it has some parameters to accept the bypass. (Terrain tilt, angle to destination, …)
What do you have in event viewer at the moment of the crash ?
Do you have other applications running in background ?
I had the problem of BSOD TDR with some games running in Direct3D and applied the ENB antifreeze patch (normally for skyrim) and it resolved all my issues. (Sadly it’s not OpenGL)
@Vimpster : there still some problem with this “auto spacing”
1) When you get new buses or new trains, you’ll upgrade your fleet. (The auto replacement feature is not the best action to take at that moment cause you’ll need less bus or train)
2) When cities are growing, they sometimes build roads close to your bus lines. There are 2 sides effects to these situations. a) the bus near this area is teleported somewhere else. b) the path of the line is recalculated and can change using this new road.
3) When your vehicle are 100% lifetime, you can use auto replacement feature which disturb the “auto spacing” calculation.
==> That’s why I prefer to space them manually first and let the game do the work after that.
However, as you said, building good lines (no crossing lines, no shared platform, ..) is a good key to maintain a sync 🙂
The amount of data you’ve on your HD is not the amount of data used in the game.
Your res folder have many subfolders. Each of them has a special meaning.
Some are used to display a model, some are used to texture a model, some are used to script the game …
So it’s very difficult to say what kind of data is used when you play. (example : the mesh, texture and model used for the TFV will not be used until you put one TFV on a track) It’s better for you to use a monitor tool which will maybe give the best approach.
The same goes for almost every game.
@douglas I really don’t see what you mean with synced trains.
On a line with multiple stops (that the line is straight or loop). You don’t have to sync the train. It’s impossible as the distance between two stations is not even. But you can make the distance between two trains even (distance = frequency). This is very easy to do.
I’m actually building a loop on a medium map (which I call my main line). I’ve already connected 5 cities with 10 trains.
The frequency is 4 minutes. (60 seconds = 30 days, to keep simple take 4 months) My trains were already running but not “synced” as you said. One was too close, another one was too far, … What I did is simple. At the end station of my loop, I check the date the train leave the station. When the second train arrives, I let the passengers get out of the train, and stop the train manually. When 4 months have passed, I put the train back on service. It will creates a jam of train at this stop until all the 10 trains have passed through my hands 🙂 And then the distance between two trains will be even.
PS : I do the same with buses to make sure my buses are evenly spaced.
Simple XD
The end of month pause doesn’t make the game “unplayable”. I’m on a I3 laptop. I played 130 years now with good cities (average pop 1700. Biggest 2200). Sometimes I’ve no pause at end of month, sometimes I have to wait 2 or 3 seconds. The huge pause you mention at end of year is only the autosave feature.
The size of the save is linked to the settings of the map and the data present on the map (citizens, paths, vehicles, …)
I’m playing on a little map. In the early game, the save game was 40 Mb, now it’s 110 Mb. I think they should maybe code the game like FIFA Manager, creating a database and populating it as you play. (path finding can be stored in database with streets data, bus stops data, …) When a change is made (new street, deleted street, delete bus stop), Event is called to modify the path and write the result back in database.
I have a nice end for you. 2040. Oil prices are so high that we begin to see electricity shortage in some places. Economies are falling down. Riots and Civil war are more common than ever.
2045. Transportation is history. Some cars are still running on electricity but these are the last ones. There is no more petrol to build cars, tires, plastics, …
If the roads you built to transport raw materials to steel mill are bypassing existing road lines. You’ve to delete them first.
Otherwise, the industries will not use your line. (the same happen if your road is a detour)
@coujou : There is a lot of things that can make a game stuttering. With the performance patch, they made the end of month processing on another thread so that your multi-core CPU is used more efficiently. Sometimes, I have little stuttering too but I’m very happy with the overall performance of the game for my laptop. I’m between 25-35 fps in play mode and 45-55 fps in pause mode. Sometimes the game is hanging for 1 or 2 seconds (end of month… or after rebuilding some lines) This is due for the heavy calculation of path finding/new buildings at end of month/ …
But with now more than 15000 population on my small map, the game is still smooth.
Don’t overload your laptop too much. Play on a small map with the lowest graphic settings. (If needed, install a mod from train-fever.net to increase performance.) I think you’re a bit on the limit with your GPU.
Two videos, one of which unveils a brand new train, and barely any replies… What an oddity Train Fever is: it just can’t seem to take hold outside of Deutschland.
The main problem is that it is more a “fan” video than USA DLC preview video. The author posted these videos on Steam too. I think he’s only trying to get some audience. By the way the video is way too long to present 2 models. (My point of view)
I didn’t read everything but what I saw on the first post is a bit too much.
I’m playing on a little laptop I3 with Geforce 710M and 8Go Ram. The game is running smooth after 120 years of game with cities having more than 1700 population. Sometimes, end of month the game is hanging for 1 second but the last update from the devs make this game more than acceptable for me.
Maybe I miss a manual to understand some key numbers like “details tabs”, … The game is easy and relaxing. Maybe next version can go deeper in economy to offer a more realistic experience.
