Update-Trial-Withdrawn?

Post by jetstream »

I will confess to having a glass of wine with dinner yesterday evening but I decided to do a bit of route editing. I can't recall the exact time but it must have been around 2200. When I came of of world editor I was immediately placed in a free roam scenario on the Oxford-Paddington which I wasn't expecting. OK, I thought, let's set up a route and see what happens - nothing; all signals set at 'red' despite the route showing 'blue' all the way out of London.

Now, here's the intersting bit. I exited to be confronted by a completely new Railworks menu (ie the one you come to after the HST spalshscreen). I wish I had made a screengrab. 'Manage you routes and scenarios' was a selection in the bottom right corner; script was much smaller all round - it was totally revamped and, dare I say it, more modern looking than the current one.

However, using this new menu system I tried to load 'chasing the ambers' and, again, sat at a red light as 1806 came and went.

I exited again and when I reloaded the 'normal' menu screen appeared and all went back to working OK.

So, what on earth happened? Was I the only one who experienced this?

Only one, honestly officer!

One clue I left out. When the new menu layout appeared there was a red exclaimation mark against 'Tutorials' and, on inspection, I had two..... 2. 'Driving a Diesel Locomotive with Expert Controls' listed.

I've just checked and they are both still there.

Ive occasionally had the head menu happen to me, usually when ive been editing my route and it appears to be running slow because its maxxed out. I assume it either loads strangely due to lack of memory or its a safety device put in to stop the game crashing so you can exit normally. Im not sure.

Dont know about the other bit though, one too many Red Bulls perhaps? :)
