I play on Ps5 does anyone know when its going to come out?

Sadly not on Xbox 😢

am i the only one who doesnt have issues with this game? this is literally the first time ive seen anything negative about RO... ive never had any of the issues listed in the video

This game is just a placeholder until Century of Steam comes out.

Win10 (latest drivers) "Fatal Error" appears constantly (game crashes to desktop), even when you standing still in the game. GPU and CPU is cool even on "epic" settings. UE5 fault? I fixed it by tuning the setting to "medium". Sounds like rambuffering more than a desync, cause have this problem in Single Player.

I bought the game on release day. I was so excited to see how the game came along. It was fun for a year or so, but then it started getting worse and worse. I was there for the first obliteration of the discord server. That was the final straw for me. I played for maybe a month after the discord implosion and then i just got fed up. My computer's SSD went shortly thereafter, and i didnt have a computer for about a year. I got the computer fixed but it still had issues so i hadnt redownloaded the game. I now bought a gaming laptop. I considered downloading the game again to see where it had gone but ultimately decided not to. I willnlikely never download it again, Especially with certain other train games released or on the way. Im sad to see what happened to a game thay ince had great potential.

the glenbrook tender don’t work on ps5 neither

One of the problems I've had with the game on PC is that after an update I couldn't load the game anymore with no notice and seems like they was trying to limit the people who can play the game so they can have less people to complain I really like the game one of the best ones around but I had to wait for ages to be able to play it again and now I play on console but the game doesn't feel the same it feels like your lock out of some of the things I used to do and what I see so many people on RUclips do unfortunately I don't really have friends so I can't say much about the multiplayer but you just about always hear someone on RUclips complaining about about the performance and and there was a moment when it seems like everyone was leaving the game but that was though other reasons and not really the game play and it made me think is the game being worked on properly or is it just another game that was just meant to be as a money maker but it wasn't but does seem like it when your being made to change from PC to console and only do like half the things and but like so many others I hope for some of the things to be fixed not everything needs fixing but at least some of the things as all games have some something a little different or something not quite right but thats one of the things that makes a game what it is

8:37 that must be the test track or something on the picture, but the morro castle curve is 88ft in radius aka 26.82meters and 7.5% grade, thats where the 2-6-6-2T ran

Piss on this game. Justice for Extended! They promised us all those features back. They could have had his code! This was just keumes bravado and we all paid the price. Dude is a scumbag, new publishers are scummy too. I got my moneys worth back in the day. The crime is the wasted potential...

I totally agree with all the points made in the video

I'm glad someone took the time to make a video like this. I've refused to play Railroads Online for the last six months because it feels like the game has lost its soul. I've played the game for about two years until I took my hiatus, and over that time, I watched new content debut while critical bugs continue to go unchecked patch after patch after patch. I have really enjoyed the game, the railroads I've built, and the challenges the game provided, but there came a point where it felt like the developers stopped caring. I know that sounds callous, but it's the message that I eventually received. Don't get me wrong, I love getting new content. I'm a huge advocate for adding new locomotives, rolling stock, maps and features, but you also have to give the game itself the same level of care and attention. Some of the updates seemed rather inconsequential, especially when existing issues require so much more attention. It was incredibly frustrating to watch as new content was added, and consequently introduced new issues that would just be added to the list of bugs and issues that would most likely never be fixed. I also feel like, after a certain point, the development of the game seemed a bit directionless, and that features were being added for the sake of adding features, and to get the game to a "launchable" state. This game had so much promise and I was incredibly optimistic for its success when I first discovered the game, but now, with other games like Railroader and Century of Steam on the horizon, I struggle to find a reason to come back to RRO. This game rekindled my interest in early railroading, and opened up a whole new world (narrow gauge) that I hadn't ventured deeply into until playing this game. I want to see it do well, but given the game's ongoing track record of poor performance, internal/staff issues, lack of detail and directionless development, I think it would take a lot for me to come back to this game. Especially with games like Railroader and CoS that have not only implemented similar features and gameplay, but do so with their own unique spin and with a tangible level of care and effort. I don't write any of this comment to tear RRO down, or discourage anyone from playing the game. I want to see this game do well. But if I had to sum up my message to the RRO team in just a few sentences, I would say: Show us you care about your game. Show us that you've put time, care, passion and attention to detail into everything you add or modify. Start by fixing the long list of issues and concerns raised by the player base, and then, moving forward, take your time to create content that is meaningful, engaging and functionally consistent. People play games like this, myself included, because they love the railroad, and I have a feeling that the developers started this project for a similar reason. Show us that the passion for the game isn't lost. If the passion is indeed lost, then I do not see myself returning to RRO at all.

I feel like astrogon is a major reason on why railroads online 1.0 got released. Astrogon didn’t want to fund rro probably so they pushed keume to get the game out, hence the inclusion of dlcs. Blacksheep is the only thing keeping this game from absolutely destroying it self. Back before blacksheep got on the project the game used to be a horrid and buggy mess in Multiplayer but nowadays it’s actually playable with some bugs.

Alternatively, you reach the two switches distance by using 370 with the parlell tool

I dropped the game as soon as i seen the publisher. That was a big ass red flag. The games under this publisher are nothing but garbage.

I can't say much because i can only run RO in the legacy branch making my potato laptop cook, but from footage I've seen this game definitely needs refinement.

I bought this when it first appeared on EA. I've enjoyed it throughout its troubled journey, and 1.0 is the same. I like that there are new maps. I like that you can opt to prelay maps with track so you can just run trains if that's all you want to do. I like that there's a lot more industries and buildings now. The whiny entitlement of gamers is why I don't play any game online, so I can't speak to how that works. But solo, it seems fine to me. Show me any piece of software (1.0 or not) that has no bugs at all, and I'll show you a liar.

or do switch - 45 - switch triple mainline!

An opening the doors on the sheds and fire boxes is difficult to for some reason

A slight glitching for other people that join the server

Lane track on someone else’s server is difficult because you don’t always get the linkage thing it gives it to you and then one minute it won’t ever give it to you again for a while

I have a Solution for all these problems wait for century of steam

Wait did the update claim it left early access or something?

It seems like the game has went off the rails

This game is a scam. Always has been from the beginning. I want my $50 back but I’ll never get it.

4:21 what does popcorning mean?

Most of these issues are based on your computer. I have been playing RRO for a year (1500 Hrs) and I have none of these so called game breaking issues. When there have been problems after updates the Developers have worked to resolve them. If the issues that you claim are earth shattering were happening because of the game system, everyone would experience them. The problems that you claim are 'game wide' are PC system problems or network issues in multi-player. Weak computers and poor network, account for most of these problems. A vocal minority on Reddit and here are screaming, while the rest of the 22,000 users are enjoying a great game. RRO is extremely memory hungry and system demanding. Your system might be able to handle the graphics (mine is 70 fps minimum). If the graphics load maxs out your system, then the system cannot handle the game load. I have been playing computer games for 30 years and have seen these arguments back when Grand Prix Legends came out in the 1990's and are still happening with titles like WRC EA and TSW5 and RRO

well to adress the Problem with RO it's THE developer and Rights holder, who just implemented a previous game mod from UE to create a whole Game and didn't let anyone else code it, as we Know he LOST an ENTIRE Team of modellers and coder because he didn't want to give out the code to the team so of course it's bad and buggy if one person does all by himself instead of letting more people work together. I don't know how it's running since the joining of astragon but it seems nothing has changed in Developing. He mostlikly still ueses the UE3 adaption since that's the reason there is no "physic" instead of making his own thing work on UE5 , unlike the lost dev team, which turns out theier own game...

I find the performance is alright on series s but the graphics are horrible, my feedback would be more optimisation for weaker consoles

I played the game back when it first released till around early last year. Why did I stop, well I grew bored and frustrated by it. Why? Well they claimed it was a sandbox game yet there is no true sandbox mode. Locomotives and cars are still locked by xp or funds. (which personally i know its a game but a locomotive company in real life would only care that you had the money for a locomotive, not if you were experienced or not). So then okay what about simulation, well there is not really any. Has it changed a bit and got a bit better yes but it still does not provide a engaging experience. Additionally having no npcs or even proper towns already placed in game ruined any immersion. Terrain editing is still not possible which makes you have to lay unrealistic grades and alignments. The customization of locomotives and cars, while there to a extent, has been too limited to ever make me feel like I am truly running my own railroad with its own identity. Not having the ability to even change the font color has been a annoyance to me since day one. I don't wish them ill will but I think they really need to sit down and decide what exactly they want this game to be. Because as long as you can't edit terrain, or buy locomotives and cars without being locked by xp or funds then its not a true sandbox game. Likewise if you never implement proper steam simulation or physics then it is not a simulator either And if you neglect the online multiplayer experience so much to the point of the issues expressed here then its not a multiplayer online game either. I personally feel that the game ended up falling into the trap that many other early access games do where the early access is a cop out for strenuous testing as they can always say oh well we will just patch it later. Plenty of other games have fallen into this trap. Now for me personally I do some derail valley while waiting for CoS that will fill my preferences both era wise, simulation wise and customization wise. But for those who still want to play RO and are invested into it I hope they figure out something.

Time Stamp: 5:02 for the most positive response. To me it works great. I love it. C.O.S. is nothing more then a video of future attempt, atleast till it's public available an playable and Derail i refuse to buy as it's just way to much real life job like with no sandboxing track building. To me RRO is to Chris Sawyer's'' Locomotion as Super Mario Odyssey is to super mario bros. RRO doesn't need a wakeup call, It needs more Power and efficiency, Needs to not let the momentum slow or fire smoke out. Open the water scoop and keep chugging ahead, maybe cut the reg back to 75% and reververse full forward.

This game is so unpolished on so many levels. I believe the developers will not get on after 1.0. This game is dead.

You're telling me that even after Early Access, it releases like a modern AAA title? Lmao, dev living the dream

I haven't played RRO in over a year due mainly to the fact that every update meant we had to completely relay every inch of track on my friends save (Which does include many miles of extra track for allowing direct routes bypassing industries to not interfere with others running to those industries) in order to not have any random derailment events on perfectly flat track that we have gone over millions of times. Also, all of the save regressions in the event we did have a derail because any attempt to go near the derailed train would cause even the host to enter into a crash loop as relogging close to the derailed train would result in an insta crash. Then we arrive at the ultimate reason we generally stopped playing RRO entirely over a year ago, I cannot log into my friends save that we spent over a year fighting through update after update, rebuild after rebuild, and finally managed to link up to every industry on the map for the first time. He can load into it just fine, but I crash every time I attempt to load into the save, even if he attempts to regress the save file. In a product with "Online" literally in the name, the online aspect of the game has seemingly never been a priority of the developers. Focusing on providing weak engine after weak engine, and smaller and smaller rolling stock, they attempted to throw enough shiny new assets in our face in the hopes that would be enough to distract us from the fact that we can't even purchase these new assets in game because we can't stay connected well enough to earn the income to afford them. My advice going forward, fix the issues that have been present since day one of the game. I genuinely loved playing the game early on and felt extremely achieved upon pulling a 500-ton coal train up and over a mountain on a 3.5% grade. But all the hours spent having to redo everything on the map for the 20th time because of a single engine that we can't even afford was added is just a slap in the face.

I've watched content on RRO since the early days when KAN Gaming did content on its release and hell when Hyce did content on the game as a developer. I always wanted to play this on console as im on PS5 and plan on after getting more experience in my own personal save of getting familiar with the game to start doing content on it for my channel (yes i do 7 Days to Die content on RUclips but am familiar with trains and loved them since i was a kid, im not a complete noob with them, would love to do content on the game), I've only seen feedback in this video from the pc side of things and figured I'll give ya'll my 54 hours of experience so far with the PS5 version, its all single player ill admit it but the game actually runs pretty good for performance wise, I've got some BIG gripes with it. 1) When laying down track what infuriates me is that there's no way to set the grade of your hills to be a precise amount you want to go up. Ive gotta guess when laying tracks up a hill and basically play this really dumb game of eyeballing the grade the game wants to give me which can wind up being very roller coaster like at times, why didn't the dev team add the functionality of allowing the player on console to use the up and down arrows/dpad to determine your grade that you want?! 2) when i got a new locomotive and rolled it to my rolling stock with automatic/knuckle couplers on the locomotive and rolling stock the couplers absolutely refused to couple properly even after ensuring the knuckles are opened and having to reshuffle the entire train! 3) Couplers for both link and pin and knuckles the hit boxes really need work cause when trying to couple or uncouple with link and pin especially get extremely frustrating to do when playing this "look for the exact pixel to access the coupler you want" game 4) this kind of ties into number 1 but ill say it anyways, the switches if you're trying to go on a flat or fairly flat ground and there's the slightest incline in your track? The switches will process to try to ascend to the heavens or hell depending on how you're laying it. 5) this isn't as big of an issue but it still should be said nonetheless, if you want to name your save a custom railroad name so you remember which game you're playing and wanting to match it with your locomotives and rolling stock? You cannot name it something custom at all, they give us console people just template names thinking we can't type/don't have a keyboard that we type in with controllers, names being like "D.&R.G.W" or "Durango and Silverton" and the locomotive & rolling stock names being like "collbran" with the quotation marks on the cab and just generic names for rolling stock like "log car" I love playing this game, but queme or however its spelled really needs to pull his head out of his butt and polish this game for not only pc and multiplayer by the looks of it, but also console as well.

Thanks for this video, for the wake up call. There is a lot wrong with this game and there is even more wrong with the community manager/developer. The problems that players describe in your video are not too bad compared to what I'm faced with. For me and a certain percentage gamers the game has become completely unplayable because they are still confronted with the glass floor bug in the 1.0 release version. The glass floor bug is probably a conflict between the video card and the RO application. The result is that the ground textures are not allowed to load into the game world, which is game breaking if you are confronted with this, the game has been unplayable for me since a few months now. The glass floor bug is now 1 year old, the developer has been aware of this for a long time, for example he wrote to a gamer on the Steam forum last March that the bug would be fixed asap. It remained, with words, an empty promise, there is still no fix. He (or one of his guy's) suggest that you as game user can solve the problem by yourself by setting the graphics settings to maximum in the options menu and then resetting them to the previous values, the problem would be solved then. But I have experienced that this is not the case and other gamers reported the same, but the developer no longer responds and leaves us with the problem. I waited until the release version came out, disappointed that the game breaking bug has still not been fixed. I reported it several times on the steam forum, which did not yield any response. I did see that the developer immediately responded with a thank you to a RUclips video from a well-known game influencer who praised the game to the skies. Due to the refusal of the developer/communication manager to even communicate with gamers who are in the 1.0 release version still dealing with the 1 year old game breaking bug while a 9 month old promise is not being put into action, I think that the developer can now be accused of culpable indifference. In the meantime, the developer/community manager has taken things even further. I have not written anything improper on the Steam forum, I was only to the point, with irrefutable facts I have pointed out the problem and stated that the proposed solution (just change the graphics settings) does not work. And I expressed my strong suspicion that the developer seems not able of fixing the problems. To my surprise, I saw two days later that this for me has resulted in a permanent forum and game ban. This is how the RO developer/communication manager deals with gamers who have paid for their software but cannot use it due a serious game breaking bug and express justified criticism of it. If you do that you are then completely silenced by RO.

Dont worry, adding more locomotives in the future will help.

It's obvious, RO is about as complete as it can be with the team and limited passion behind it... Hyce and Century of Steam is almost certainly going to be the future of this genre of game/simulation... My sense is that RO just didn't have the dedication/passion/drive (and most importantly, money) behind it for one reason or another and now that a clearly better competitor is coming for their audience they don't have a choice but to go to market and hope to capture as much bucks as they can ahead of that. It would be a waste of their time and effort to not do this now...

trying to fix rro now is to little to late,,, i was banned from the rro discord for merely asking if another user tlheart was banned for reporting bugs imho it is too little too late for any change to hapen now,, it does not erase years of lying to the the community about the state of the game and aggressively silencing anyone off the discord or steam forums who did not blindly worship it,, as others said rro is a sinking ship and instead of trying to pump bilge water they blamed hyce and nix as scape goats for being smart enough to jump into a life boat while keume let the water rush in

I haven’t actually plaid online myself yet. But in single player, the current physics issues which force me to operate trains with a maximum of 6 cars - else your train stringlines even on straight track, is currently blocking me from fully enjoying the game. Also, since the last patch even before 1.0, the sun seems to be rising in the south and setting in the north, which is not necessarily annoying but is indicative of a Quality Control problem. Having been a software and QC tester myself- This, combined with the fact that the derailing bug in crossover tracks has returned feels as if they have been working on updates in parallel. Which then leads to fixes in one patch actually not yet incorporated in the next update, and so those bugs return. I have seen my company do this as well and from a Customer Care point of view it is absolutely annoying to witness

Don't even try with this game anymore, just wait for century of steam, it seems like what railroads online envisioned to be.

Feedback received. And as we DO listen to the community, we will talk about it internally.

I haven’t been able to play since they released the Alaskan map. The won’t even load, I just get a fatal error every time. Even on a fresh install of the game and a fresh blank map. I want to see the game succeed but I don’t expect much changes based on the way which I was attacked by one of the community managers for posting an honest review.

Other things I don't like about other then the poor optimizations is the limitation with industry platform layouts. I would love it if you could design your own layout. that would open up a whole new level of customization to the game

i am just waiting for CoS to come out Railroader allready is what RRO could ave been and has an activ modding comunity. RRO never recovered from that Walk off viasko but with Devs siting in an ivory tower and deaf ears and a loud minority of white knights telling everyone to shut up and leave its allready over. the game isnt dead but on activ live suport for a few years so far.

Yeah, for about 2 years I wasn’t able to play railroads online because the graphics requirements bogged due to the weather and ue5 update, so I tried the legacy branch and it also did not work. They need to wake up. My fps is extremely bad now due to all the locomotives and cars o have. It never did this before. It’s very thrown together. And rushed, a lot of people think since Hyce announced century of steam, Railroads online has rushed everything to try to keep up, they never will. C of S is not even released and is ten times better than railroads online. I have requested certain features like inter changeable whistles would be nice, I’m tired of single chimes.

1. I found that I can't snap to a shed, but can snap from it. 2. While trying to connect at all, no one in the party experienced crashes from me leaving. However, my issue is that I could not join any game running Mesa Plains, or one that was in a different region. The only 1 time I could join Mesa was when the host set the server FPS to 60 instead of 120. When deleting an engine via the Destroy tool, it only made it invisible and prevented driving onto that part of the track. Upon a restart, the engine would reappear. Sometimes an Industry that's been deleted would also reappear upon restart. As for the new props in the DLC, the trees and animals are really cool, but the rocks are disgustingly small! Even one of them is a pebble. I was hoping some of those big boulders on the map would be included.

Wishlisted the game when it came out in early access, but seeing i got burned before I wasn't gonna invest in early access. Too many times with games in the builder genre we see the developers run off with the money and never to be seen again. Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember the game looked like a survival game were you had to build your own railroads from either first or third person view and was focused on the multiplayer aspect. I'm just not sure what it is now. You can build your train network and towns, but are those towns filled with life or is it just scenery placed on the map? I'm also unsure about how long the gameplay loop remains fun. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy train tycoon games, but is this like that or what? Glad I waited, I don't think I will be buying it after all, especially not now that i read the stream reviews and all the issues still at hand, cause i foresee that the game will be abandoned soon.
