hi, ...
So perhaps there is not much new in the update.
If the error is recorded, the one with the last update only remains little more than new.
And deduct from which something else must be elementary functions.
A Crashfix is a must and not a great joyful elementary update.
That leaves not much new.

Incidentally, it would be nice would be the time required in scenarios towed by cars with their name tags in red.
They would make it easier to find.

Steam just updated my installation of RailWorks to version 97.8a as reported on the RS.com website. There are no notes in Steam about the contents of the update (as there haven't been the past couple of times) but the update is now available.

this was the last update before. If you placing locos without driver icon the the locos appear as 'parked'. that means no engine is running (so there isn't any formation of smoke and sound) and driver isn't displayed.
read you...

Yeah Steam might be great at giving out the updates even if you have re install 10 files or so each time something is 'fixed'. But I please can RS concentrate on the bigger issues please!

I would consider fixing bugs and crashes a big issue.

No updates to RW for me. But that may be because I don't have the Hall installed.
Only 2.9 days to download UnReal Tournament 3 as a gift. Anybody else been this lucky?

You have to shut down steam and restart it again to get updates. It will only ever download any updates on start-up.

No surprise here! But RW is now even less stable for me now than ever before. After the update it now cant find various MK 3s! and 'something bad happened' when loading 'messed up' which is a scenario for the GWML which came with the game. Well done fella's real nice update! :bad-words:

This is on v97.8a

Just tried to load an other scenario, one of the Armstrong Powerhouse scenarios which is 6E38 from West Drayton to Acton Yard. And as said above, it can't find the MK3s. Eh!?

I've configured steam only to start when I tell it too. I have high up-times on the O/S.

There may be a problem with editing track and it's infrastructure with the latest update so please backup your route before trying.

RW is updating now. I will look forwards to the improvements. Steam isn't that scolding after all, I hope.
