Trainz: A New Era News

Service Pack 2 Hotfix 1 Update now released

We've come a long long way since the first release of Trainz A New Era "Community Edition" way back in December 2014.

After many months in development on our latest free update for TANE, and with enormous support from over 2,000 of our core community helping us beta test and report their feedback, we've made a huge number of improvements and fixes.

We've been busy making Trainz more stable across more configurations, offering better compatibility with a wider range of content, and fixing those annoying little things that sometimes make you want to tear your hair out.

With over 500,000 items created by over 10,000 people over 15 years, Trainz has a lifetime of content to explore. With all this content available for free download the task of ensuring everything works perfectly is an enormous undertaking. Clearly we can't do everything ourselves, and that's why the Trainz Community support is so vital to the ongoing success of TANE.

To those of you who understand that this is a journey and not a destination, please continue to enjoy the ride. For those who would prefer to focus on the flaws rather than the flowers, we would encourage you to let us know of any issue you find through our reporting form you can find here.

"Service Pack 2" Update is now live

After more than 6 months of development and many thousands of hours of beta testing, we're very happy to announce that Trainz A New Era "Service Pack 2 "has arrived. With this latest update, which includes a range of under-the-hood improvements as well as hundreds of bug fixes, we are confident that we are delivering our most reliable and stable version of Trainz ever.

SP2 provides a far more robust platform upon which to expand Trainz for years to come and also enables owners of "Trainz Model Railroad" to install the 7 routes and 22 sessions to effectively merge their Trainz versions into one.

If you do not own Trainz Model Railroad 2017, then you can purchase the content as "DLC" to expand your collection and enjoy virtual railroading from a whole new perspective. (These DLC items will be live in the next 24 hours).

UPDATE JUNE 23:
1. The SP2 update has now been released for Mac users
2. There is a small update for PC users to sort out an issue some users were having with a database repair
3. Login and DLC server issues are now resolved

If you have trouble logging in, downloading your DLC or accessing the Trainz Download Station you can contact our helpdesk through a new Steam Issue Submission Form. The team will generally get back to you within 24 hours and often much quicker.
