Not sure if it relates to only this sim, I have not seen it before. Doesn't seem to be network lag either. A few screenshots. #1 - 2T11 sits on multiple lines (DS/US LSNT/APPR). #2 - On UF 1W78 sat there but wasn't there in reality. On DF shows faulty occupied track at Harrow. Doubt it's lag because ran another panel (Rugby C) with same host without any problem Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Log in to reply |

No running a client in hosted session. Not any of the others had problems. And if it would have been network lag, things like #1 issue where 2T11 was at a place it has never been before should not happen (I guess). Log in to reply |

Myself and a friend seem to have a similar problem when hosting any sims using the loader. It started after an update a while back. The older sims that come as individual EXE's seem okay, though.

Occasionally on a multiplayer if you are not the host, you do get the odd glitch. If you disconnect and reconnect it should fix any issues.

Tried that aswell with tonights session a few times. Still no better result. Will check if problem reoccurs on another session. I have joined a number of them lately and this is first time I see it. Log in to reply |

There can be issues when you save a game with a train straddling the boundary between chained sims.

Can you clear the faulty track circuits with the Incident Panel (F11)? Seems odd that a train would end up on a different line in a completely different direction, never seen that one before. Log in to reply |

Probably network issues then, especially if running a big sim like Rugby C at the same time.

Could be, but check attachement #1. If there is network lag, I would assume a thing like 2T11 would not happen. It's not just a delay (lag), 2T11 have not even been in that location before. Also, I was part of the same multiplay with same host on another panel earlier, without any problem. The problem just started when I joined (and tried to rejoin) Wembley. Have also tried now to re-create the problem myself by hosting a large chain myself and run across to another computer and cannot get the same problem to appear. Log in to reply |

Had the same behaviour tonight on Victoria Central when joining. What I BELIVE, just being a novice troubleshooter is, if the network is a bit slow (my latency to the host was about 50 msec, not bad really) the initial load of data from host takes too long, especially if there is a bit of volume. Then something odd happens. Visually it looks like the initial load is not done when actual updates are being pushed. In the case of Victoria Central the part of the trouble was to the far "right" of the panel, hence around Central. In the case (also tested because it was a chain) of Victoria South East the part of trouble was also the far right around Swanley Jn. I have a video from the load of central. If anyone is interested PM me and I send over e-mail. For the deep techie's I actually also took a network trace from the load (using a tcp dump tool, file format is pcap). Yes I know, I'm a bit of a network geek

" said:Had the same behaviour tonight on Victoria Central when joining.When connecting, you get a snapshot of the sim at the time of connecting, which takes an appreciable amount of time to transfer, especially for bigger sims. We don't want to slow down the experience for other clients already joined so we slow down the transfer a little. Then, once you have the snapshot, you need all the updates that have happened since the snapshot started, so another chunk of data. Latency/lag isn't really relevant. That would only cause delays when setting a route or whatever, but - assuming you're not downloading movies, Netflixing, or suchlike - you can still play. " said: In the case of Victoria Central the part of the trouble was to the far "right" of the panel, hence around Central.The updates are deliberately jumbled up a bit so the right hand end was not necessarily the last to come in.

Ok, will try to capture on both sides the next time problem appears. If you want the video still from my side (client) let me know. Log in to reply |
