Arosa Feedback & Annoyance

[Stephen Bosley]

The incorrect timetable and the failure of the throttle to re-engage after using the brakes for any period of time completely ruins the gameplay. What’s most annoying is that neither of these pretty basic items were not tested properly before release. This is not the first time Rivet have failed to release a playable product as IOW was released without any timetable at all.

Whilst I appreciate that releases will have some kind of bugs releasing a game things like this is simply not good enough. It’s not OK to just say we will get an update out by the middle of April. This game has not been tested for even the basic things.

Stephen Bosley We have had a few reports of the timetable, our team will investigate the timetable timings and pay close attention to see if adjustments need to be made.
The game has been tested but obviously some things made it through that shouldn't have. No excuses. What platform are you playing on?

Hi Stephen, I've also experienced this issue going from Chur to Arosa Southbound on PS4 traveling around 33 kph tap to add a little brake and to slow just a little but drops to 10Kph before it re-engages the throttle. I did a full 60 minute timetable route by the time I finished, I was at least 8/10 minutes behind expected time of arrival. I did Arosa to Chur scenario 1 Northbound just adjusting brakes throughout and no issue at all and I was on time.

I am playing on a PlayStation. To reply saying if adjustments need to be made is ridiculous of course they need to me made because just looking at the real life timetable shows you the time allowed between stations is wrong.What is annoying you only had to match the timings of the real life timetable and you couldn’t even do that. The failure of the throttle to re-engage is a game breaker and just don’t see how either of these items were missed in testing as they are both there all the time.

I was really looking forward to the release of this route and have to say that out of all the games I have purchased this is by far the worst at release. I accept minor bugs and don’t even agree with many of the complaints about the distant scenery, apart from the ludicrous mountains you can see in both Chur and Arosa, however, these two are not minor bugs and if the game had been tested I just can’t see how they were missed.

Hi Stephen Bosley, we appreciate the frustration - these things do seem obvious, and whilst it's not an excuse, there are literally millions of things the dev team have to develop and get right that would also seem obvious if they got them wrong. We're focussed on fixing as many issues as we can at the moment, but once we've got some breathing room after that we'll review everything that's happened to see what we can do to prevent particular issues cropping up in future releases. Apologies again, please bear with us! C.

Hi, everyone. To address the timetable issue: Although it's not fixed in the next patch that'll come out, we expect to fix it for the next patch afterwards, which won't be too far behind. In the meantime, we hope you have found many reasons to enjoy Arosa Linie and by all the great screenshots posted in the competition, it looks like many of you are. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

**all eyes turn towards iow**

[Jasper_Rivet]

Help us with that, why Isle of Wight?

[Formulabee]

Because there are still bugs that are 6+ months old, ie ai trains not having headlights turned on

So over 4 months after this post the timetable issue is still not fixed, will it ever be? Quite frankly if its not then I shallnt be buying another Rivet DLC either for Train Sim World or Train Simulator. Once bitten, twice shy and all that.

Well this is typical Rivet we are talking about. Took 8 months to fix iow livery editor and the sounds are still messed up on the 204.

Don’t hold your breath.

Hello, we understand your frustration with this problem not being fixed. It is a known issue, but at the moment there are another couple of things that are going on and taking center stage, so we can't address that just now and a fix is not planned yet, although this obviously doesn't mean that it will never be fixe)... sorry for the inconvenience.

[Formulabee]

In that case are you planning to create a team similar to DTG’s preservation crew?

Have you ever heard the mantra "finish what you started"? Clearly you are more concerned with selling yet another (no doubt also broken) product then fixing the products youve already sold. So much for "we expect to fix it for the next patch afterwards, which won't be too far behind." Clearly that was just a lie to get people off your back and hope that they'd forget about it.

This ⬆️

their current practices cannot continue. Many people (including me) have lost confidence in Rivet altogether and are now heavily reluctant to purchase anyone of their content. West Cornwall is their one and only chance to prove us wrong.

Again, I’m not holding my breath for anything good to come out, as this is typical rivet.

Rivet, stop giving us copy paste responses. Start acting, or lose even more customers than you already have

I have to agree with the posts above. I've reported bugs on IOW and Arosa. They are unfixed. Both Rivet routes have come out initially with timetable issues. IOW didn't have one at all to start with. On Arosa it is impossible to keep to the timetable, quite annoying for a county that has a reputation for running on time! Arosa is my most local line so I was really excited and it has proved to be quite a let down and is now uninstalled.

So please either plan to fix it or tell us you've abandoned it.

Cornwall should be a must buy for me, it's near to where I come from, but I won't buy it until Arosa is fixed and I can run a service on time. It's just too risky spending money with the level of issues on your current routes. There were some initial fixes and nothing since.

DTG, aren't perfect either, there are a lot of bugs around, but at least they have the preservation crew and a certain level of openness about what will and won't be done.
