Railway Empire 2 - Update 1.8

Tycoons!

We have just delivered Railway Empire 2’s Update 1.8 to Steam, Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One consoles (supported through Smart Delivery). This update includes an option to easily switch factory productions and several display options as well as a handful of fixes.   

Please find the full Changelog below. 

Additions 

  • Added a feature to easily switch a factory’s production.  

  • Added a feature that makes it possible to reserve industry slots in cities.  

  • Added an option to decide if directional arrows are displayed when selecting a rail line in the rail line menu.  

  • Adjusted the display of train signals; they now point away from the track. 

  • (PC only) The limit of buildable track segments was doubled to prevent old segments from disappearing when new segments are being built in very large save games. 

Bug-Fixes 

  • Fixed an issue where goods got stuck in manual warehouses when the source industry was deleted. 

  • Fixed an error in chapter 2 that rendered the purchase of a concession impossible in some cases, even when a task demanded it. 

  • Fixed a display issue where the American flag has been displayed in the Southern Ontario region. 

  • Fixed an icon display error on a Refrigerator Car displaying beer in 1910. 

  • Fixed a display issue in multiplayer where goods on a train were not displayed properly. 

  • Fixed a rare issue where some scenario and campaign saves could not be loaded with a „Missing Content“ error being displayed. 

  • Fixed an issue where the display of the “Missing Content” indicator for unowned DLC content did not include the DLC name. 

  • Fixed a rare issue which sometimes made it impossible to deselect and remove goods completely from the warehouse. 

  • (PC only) Removed check mark without functionality in engine shed when recolouring engines. 

  • (PC only) Fixed an issue that led to ”F2” opening an empty task list in sandbox games. 

  • (Controller only) Fixed an issue where a textbox in the warehouse was blocking the UI in large UI mode. 

DLC-specific Changes 

  • (Bella Italia) Fixed a rare issue that led to a display of too many overhead lines on tracks. 

  • (Industrial Wonders) Fixed an error where the Hoover Dam was getting registered as a city for tasks in Custom Game. 

  • (India) Fixed a minor visual glitch.
