Following on from last weeks post as detailed below - we are now releasing Update 2 to all TSW: CSX Heavy Haul owners which addresses the following issues/bugs:
FULL PATCH NOTES
Patch Size: 600mb
Load/Save Issues
- A Crash on loading previous saves has been identified and we believe resolved
- The dispatcher not being properly re-initialised on reloading some saves has been resolved
- We have identified some control states on the locomotives and rolling stock were not being restored correctly on loading and have rectified this
- Objective markers were sometimes not re-appearing on loading a save game.
Optimisation
- We have found some issues with the render distances for Splines and Foliage to be set too far out and have reduced these to more appropriate settings for a decent performance improvement.
- Some work has been done to optimise the tasks going on for managing AI trains in the background and reduce their overhead.
- We have reviewed dynamic shadow casting and optimised how and where this is being done.
- We have removed unnecessary shadow casting from lights in the menu background for a good framerate improvement while in the menu.
- There have also been a few other minor optimisations to various areas around the game.

- Turkish
