Railway Empire 2 - Update 1.5

Tycoons!

We have just delivered Railway Empire 2’s Update 1.5 to Steam, Xbox Game Pass across console and PC Game Pass for PC, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One consoles (supported through Smart Delivery).
This update includes improvements to train logic, and a fix for Manual signals impeding traffic and causing traffic jams when built too close to supply depots, among other things.

Please find the full Changelog below.

Improvements

• Multiple improvements to the train logic, removing several traffic jams especially around supply towers, grid irons and train stations (including trains showing “Train waiting on itself” notifications).
• The maximum amount of research points granted until 1930 has been adjusted to reflect the increased need with the High Voltage and the Journey to the East DLC.
• Added: The Station clocks now display the current system time.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where coal wagons during the early ages of 1830 looked too modern.
• Fixed an issue where manual signals impeded traffic and caused traffic jams when they were built too close to supply depots.
• Fixed an issue where the refund message did not display multiple refunds when deleting multiple trains at once.
• Fixed an issue where the manual loading indication allowed you to mark goods to be unloaded at a station that has no demand for it.
• Fixed an issue where the achievement “Three Cheers for Progress” was not unlocking correctly.
• Fixed an issue where the “Balance (last 7 days)” overlay did not display the production cost correctly.
• Fixed an issue where the “New Saboteur” tooltip did not appear directly underneath his icon after recruitment.
• Fixed an issue where the game continued running in the background after opening the Tips & Tricks menu.
• Fixed an issue where the quarterly report did not include the luxury passenger revenue.
• Fixed an issue where the White Nougat factory was not available after loading an older save game.
• Fixed an issue where the electric pole placement at parallel rails was not correct.
• Fixed an issue where the electric pole placement at train stations was not correct.
• Fixed an issue where the “Build Overhead Lines On/Off” and “Pause game” were on the same controller button. “Build Overhead Lines On/Off” now requires holding the left stick during track construction instead of pressing the left stick.
• Fixed an issue, where the electric train icon indication in the “Locomotive Selection” screen when editing a rail line was missing.
• Fixed an issue where the left button to cycle through stations was mispositioned when playing with controller.
• Fixed an issue where the key bindings did not differentiate between the normal “+” icon and the Numpad “+” icon.
• Changed the key binding for tilting the camera to prevent the double usage of the key within the tutorial.
