Ok I have just tested on the home counties scenario which came with Halls pack. When the activity starts I get 16fps a second and then after 10 seconds it shoots up to 30. I then drive in to Didcot station where theres a 47 in the platform. As I pass it I get stuttering and fps drops to 16. Running this after the update I had exactly the same results.

The only home counties scenario I found is the Jubilee one. Where can I find the one for the Hall?

New Hall sounds too if I'm not mistaken. And AWS is now enabled to replicate the GW ATC system, although I think it uses the default AWS settings and sounds.

Sorry Matt you are right it was the Jubilee scenario. Was the fix for stuttering done for only certain activities or all of them? With the home counties return my fps is much slower than my other activities.

Looking at what files have been modified in the update, it was a general fix as only one scenario was changed/modified. The ones I reported seem to be fixed. Though I don't bother to get caught up in monitoring FPS as such any more, more the general feel of how it runs.

From reading posts on TrainSim.com the save bug seems to have been fixed in routes and situations where it was crashing before.

Seems to do what it says on the tin, thank you Railsimulator.com for sorting this out. The new sounds and functionality for the Hall are the icing on the cake.

Well, for me, every time I press "Clear Cache", if I go into the game then i will have "no routes" at all. But if I exit fully, then re-start the game all my routes return.

Before updating, can anybody confirm that the distinct 'rubber banding' effect of the background in some scenarios has been fixed. This is not the usual small stepping that is normal near the foreground, this is the giant stepping that appeared with 97.8a and was present even when the frame rates were high, and affected animation as well.

The scenario I reported with this problem does not have the problem any more so I would say it is probably fixed from what I have seen so far.
