Bug fix - train movement stutter (regression since v0.1.7) Trains at 1x and 5x speeds appeared to "snap forward" every game-minute (~60 wall-seconds at 1x, ~12 seconds at 5x) instead of moving smoothly. The frontend interpolation was gated on the game-minute counter from a pre-lo
⚠️ MULTIPLAYER IS BETA - please read This release ships the first public version of multiplayer. The simulation core (network, economy, region access fees, end-of-day rollup) has been reworked to run identically on every peer, and the major architectural questions are settled. Th
New: 3D map view Toggle in Settings → "3D Map". Camera tilts to 50°, buildings rise from the basemap as 3D extrusions. Trains and carriages render as proper 3D boxes, leaning with the perspective. New "3D Train Size" setting (Small / Medium / Large) - multiplies box dimensions ×1

- Fixed: game freezing for ~1–2 seconds when zooming the map - Improved: freeze log now captures visual stalls (not just JS hangs), with a tighter 3-second detection threshold - If you experience any remaining freezes, the log at %LOCALAPPDATA%\scottish-rail\freeze.log will now c
Fixed - Trains bouncing back and forth at single-platform stations (e.g. Eskbank). Trains arriving when the platform was already busy were oscillating between the station boundary and a holding point instead of actually waiting. They now sit still and enter cleanly the moment the
