Hi everyone!We just pushed another experimental version update.Choose the experimental branch on Steam and disable crossplay in the online settings ingame to get the effect of the changes.Let us know what you think!Changelog v-989-0a55a5c:New: Experimental Rope Engine added as last engine candidate: Ties every player to the engine with a rope. Nobody gets further away than the rope allows. Players pulling in front make the train faster, players lagging behind slow it down. A dash gives extra rope for a moment. Whoever gets stuck loses the rope and respawns at the engine.

- Stability Patch - 25 July 2026
Dear Railroad Engineers!We've extended our maintenance with an update of Godot and ANGLE, two very important dependencies we use. We notice crashes mostly outside of our code (either in drivers or in Godot code) and we try to fix as much as we can from our side. The auto-driver selection from us should now direct newer AMD GPUs to Vulkan which seems to run smoother.Above that, to use Steam Input on macOS, a certain 'Accessibility' permission has to be given to Steam and when not given a ingame prompt is now shown when a controller is detected explaining what to do.Changelog v-936-dc2dc1c:- Change: Experimental China networking activated again- Bug fix: Fixed several graphics-related crashes (out of video memory, driver resets)- Bug fix: Modern AMD Radeon cards (RX 5000+) now use Vulkan automatically for better stability- Bug fix: More detailed errors when joining a lobby fails (e.g. tim…

Dear Railroad Engineers!We've deployed a small maintenance update focused on performance improvements, bot behavior, and a variety of bug and crash fixes to make your runs smoother. Thanks for all your reports and feedback - they've been incredibly helpful. As always, let us know if you run into any issues!We also added an experimental "China network" mode which can be enabled in the online settings and which enabled a similar network stack like in Unrailed 1. This could improve on connection issues when being located in China. Let us know if it helps you!Note that some improvements will only be active when crossplay is disabled. We're submitting the console patches now as well but only once they went through the certification, we can do another small patch bumping all versions such that we have feature parity even with crossplay enabled.
