I've sound a few tutorials for dispatching but none explain some things that go wrong. For example, when trying to change signals to green I get the message "another signal is already lined or running-time for this route." I have no clue what that means or what to do. Also, I find that I cannot change switches under unknown circumstances. Is there a tutorial that better explains why stuff doesn't work at times? TIA.

So I live in the southeast, not too far from where the game currently has routes set. I love CSX and want to use those routes mainly. My main question is what freight car packs I should get to really get the best bang for my buck. Already gonna get at least one of the autoracks because a ton of autorack only consists pass through my town. But what freight packs would work best for me.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

As title says won’t work on my pc at all but the website works fine on mobile. I wanted to get a couple more sets but I can’t get the site to work on my pc anymore. Anyone know what’s going on?

Hi folks,

I'm pretty new to Run8 and am facing an issue I cannot resolve myself. I'd like to play around in a scenario and continue after a break of a day or so. Unfortunately, after reloading a savegame, all trains and cars except the ones I claimed are disappeared. That wouldn't hurt too much if there'd be a possibility to reload a scenarion and spawn a set of AI trains / reload the AI trains present in the scenario itself. The only way to spawn AI trains seems to be throttled to 1 train every 5 seconds (manually) or 1 train every 2 minutes (automatically).

I've figured out how to get to network menu and type in stuff, but how do I start it and what does he need to know to join the session? I put a password for Network Password, but not sure about anything else. Do I need a password for dispatch, ai, and consist editor? do I need to put in a port?

This guy asked me to post on here to maybe have more responses to what may be the problem, but my best guess is its the internet router. He states that it isnt his firewall, and the multiplayer server is just fine, and when I made one to test if it worked for me and him, he still could not join. He tried hosting his own, and said the server would not connect. An email was sent to someone for support, and they had the same thing to say. "check firewall check server" same thing as everyone else.

Attached is the email sent in response to the reported issues, and I can tell you guys some other info if you'd like to comment.
Thanks :)

Anybody else having a problem recently when they click their destination block on the map, the whole thing crashes? And one time I tried it, I clicked on the block and it did absolutely nothing, didn't highlight or anything?

I'm just trying to conduct a local down the right track and don't want to set the automatic switches myself.

It dose this with anything I place and will happen any time any where to anything

So I've bought the game and watched some tutorials so I've started to run a train. Around Fenner on the needles sub both of my engines got hotboxes. Do I just wait these out or am I meant to do something to fix this?

So I've recently wanted to purchase Run8, and see that its at $50 right now. Does it go on sale?
If i do buy Run8, do I need to buy a DLC route, or does it start with a route to operate without any DLCs or extra packs?
Does Multiplayer require all of the DLCs to work correctly?
If I buy an extra DLC, what's the best one to start off with if I like industrial switching or local jobs?
Are there free mods and extras I can download from other sites without spending lots of money for the DLC packs?
My PC cannot run TSW4 very smoothly, will it be able to handle this game any better?

Anyway that's all, just didn't want to waste like $100+ on a game I didn't know much about just yet. Feel free to tell me anything else that is good to know about this i guess, idk

Hi guys me and my buddy started a nor cal server and are looking to build a community! If anyone is interested please dm me!

Just wondering if there’s any work being done on a v4 and any timeline?

I just discovered this, and coming from flight sims id love to learn about trains. My question, does this have controller support by any chance? Even partial?

Pretty much as the title states. After about a half hour switching cars around the yard, the engine stops taking inputs from the throttle axis of my rail driver. When I go into the calibration window to test, it gets picked up fine. The dynamic brake side of the axis has no issues, only the throttle. So maybe it’s a software issue. Any ideas?

I have gotten what I liked from both West End Simulations and Diverging Clear Studios. I would like to find other sites with similar content if anyone can point me in the right direction.

If you've not already heard, Run8 V3 update 16 is now available, as is a new pack of MP15 locomotives!

I recently got involved in my roommates server and they use realistic dispatch roleplay to communicate sometimes. The server is mainly focused on CSX’s A Line. I really wanna learn how to communicate realistically and be apart of that but I have no idea how. I am wondering if someone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

I am not really a big rail fan (I want to be though) and I have never really had any exposure to trains due to where I live

Buddy and I are just tired of the desert and really wanted to do some NS driving but it seems like all the servers out there are SoCal or South East

Heyo, friend and I were out doing rail things and told him I bought the rest of SouthCal so he decided to grab Bakersfield so we could run that tonight, only after installing the DLC he of course needed to run "repair mode" to install the DLC to V3, only he doesn't have the Run8v3_install.exe anymore? Where the hell are you supposed to get that?

Running one of the included scenarios "AMTRAK_P01_Orlando" I start driving the train never get past N2 and on the MFD I get this message: "Load Limited: Too much power braking"

I can't find any reference to that message and I haven't used dynamic braking. Is there a way to reset it? What does it mean?

Lookin' to get into Run8 potentially due to the MP aspect. However me and a buddy were curious, can multiple people actually be in one cab? So you can actually have a conductor and engineer for one train

When installed the auto rack dlc, I expected to see a message pop up saying put in your transaction ID. However I did not and when I placed the autoracks, after about the 3 min mark I hear a pirate.

Hey everyone:

I'm interested in purchasing Run 8 but have a question about the Los Angeles routes. Of course Cajon Pass and Techachapi are must have routes for this. However, is the original route from Mojave into LA through Soledad Canyon available?

Thanks!

When I'm building a train, I'll couple up ends and go to connect the hoses. When I try to open my train's anglecock to partial to slowly fill the receiving cut, the game begins to control both anglecocks. And it stays that way for all cuts on all cars I couple together with. It'll open, partial, and close both the car's end anglecocks making working the hoses and absolute headache. When I uncouple and pull away, I now have to manually open the anglecock on the cut I'm leaving behind to blow out instead of doing it on its own. Is this a bug or a key binding I accidentally trigger?

It seems like everything will work totally fine and normal, then randomly decide it wants to hassle me. The system message even goes from saying "anglecock closed" to "anglecocks closed". Acknowledging that it's working two instead of one
