Well I just got invited to the play test so I'll stream my 1st thoughts tonight.

Thanks

Wow is this a huge learning curve. I'm actually enjoying the signal boxes and even they have a strong learning curve. You thought Run8 was big, this is going to take people a while. The good thing about MP is other are out there to help you and they did tonight.

I had similair network issues at times but after a few repeated attempts I was finally in and enjoying it. Time for bed now. Way past my bed time

Thanks

Out of interest Sean, which server did you find success with?

I may have one more go this evening, but after that it's getting uninstalled here.

Join us on EN2 Vern, think I saw Sean on there earlier.
I have been working a few boxes and it is enjoyable once you get used to the way their signalling works.
I even put Bescot’s train in my loop and he popped to the box to see me 😁

Remember the servers reset at 18:00, 00:00, 06:00 and 12:00 UTC.

Also forgot to say the devs are aware of a lot of issues and said they will put another update out this week.

Hi Jason. Is UTC 6 hours off of EST?

I'm having a blast with that and I'm pumping out streams like crazy. Been having fun in the boxes and will get back to it today at 3pm.

Thanks

Sorry meant CET not UTC, yeah 6 hours off EST.
Glad you’re enjoying it Sean.

I finally managed to connect and had a couple of runs one on the EN02 server and the other on EN06.

It is good but a bit laggy, wonder if that is the multiplayer trying to keep up. Must admit that side of it was more fun than I thought, better (dare I say) than my experience with Run 8. Of course at this point we are learning the game so everyone is being helpful. I kept blowing the overload trip on the EU07, tapping up too quickly. Also discovered you need to start notching up the shunt regulator to get full power.

Diving back in for another go shortly.

3 minutes driving, 40 mins sat at red signal.

Great to chat with everyone but not exactly entertaining...

[SurvivorSean]

Plenty of servers just jump onto another one. Who knows it may have been me holding you up We're all still learning some of the big boxes as well. What I normally do is abandon the box if I can't figure it out then AI takes over and clears it properly.

Take a look at my streams in the past 24 hours and you'll see tons of action! I will get back to running trains EVENTUALLY! It's only going to get better. If they can't get you through try another server or service. Trust me you'll be able to get a good one. That's the beauty of this sim.

Thanks

Sean
