TANE SP1 “Hotfix 1” (80729) - Beta Test Release

The first "Hotfix" update to TANE SP1 is now ready for our Beta Testers to download via the in-game patcher.

This build is likely to be a “final candidate” and will be made available for public release hopefully in the coming days. If there are any significant NEW issues that appear during testing these will be fixed, otherwise we’ll release this update “as is” as the public release. There will be online and offline patch option for the public release.

Those of you who were part of our pre-SP1 beta testing, can download the 36MB update by going into the Launcher > Install > Change Stream option, and change to "TANE Beta". You will then be prompted with the update.

There are 3 builds with patches available: 80341, 80345 and 80349 (all PC). Sorry, Steam and Mac users miss out on this round of testing but will get the public release at the same time as everyone else. Each of these 3 patches will take you to a DRM version. If you wish to remain on a DRM-Free build, we suggest you skip this Beta Test and just download the release version as this will keep your version DRM-Free.

As always with Beta releases, update at your own risk. We strongly recommend you use a backup copy of your current install (and new userdata folder) for all beta testing.

Following is the list of changes made in this update.

Changelist for SP1 HF1

• Fix - Decoupling any train can cause it to be added to an Interlocking Tower path
• Interlocking Towers> Add the concept of conjoint paths, where a path exit signal is also used as an entry signal to another path. Specifically:
  • Lead-in conjoint paths will never alter the state of the exit signal
  • Lead-in conjoint paths will show the exit signal state as "Automatic" in the edit helper, not allow it to be edited and show a special tooltip
  • Conjoint paths will not treat each other’s entry and exit signals as conflicting

Future Updates

We are in the process of prioritising future bug fixes and will publish the list in the next week or so. Being on the user-submitted list doesn't mean the task is a legitimate issue (i.e. items still need to be verified), or that it will be fixed in the next update.

Meanwhile, if you have a bug/issue you would like to be added to the list, please use our new Bug Reporting system by clicking here. This new system allows users to attach screenshots and files, and uses the Helpdesk ticket tracking process for further communications. 

Here is the list of recent bugs submitted with our internal tracking number (so effectively listed in data of receipt/creation order). There are still more bugs to process from the Issue Submission form, but please feel free to re-submit anything posted in forums or elsewhere to ensure your issue is not missed out from the list.
