v0.1.10.0-Beta

[AMacro]

Changes / Fixes

This release focuses on networking improvements.
Please report any bugs by either raising an issue or visiting the discord discussion thread. Be sure to include both the host and client player.log files in your report.

Networking

• Port forwarding is no longer required!
  Steam's inbuilt networking libraries have now been implemented, allowing:
  • Players to host without port forwarding
  • Players to invite their friends through Steam (Steam overlay, or via Steam Friends list)
• Upgraded LiteNetLib to latest stable release (1.3.1)
• Implemented SteamNetworkingSockets as the transport layer
• Implemented Steam Lobbies

Game

• Fixed issues with sync of some STATE ports
• Fixed issues with initial port and fuse conditions not syncing (breaking TM and vehicle operation for some players)
  Allow TrainCar to fully load prior to requesting sync of states

Known Bugs

• Clients are unable to self service locomotives - self service objects (e.g. pipes, chutes, plugs, nozzles) not synced
• Horns, whistles and steam loco reversers can play up when more than one player is in the loco; this is not a breaking issue, only a mild inconvenience.
• MU chains behave the same as the horns and whistles, playable but mildly annoying
• Shop, world items, inventory for players other than the host not yet synced - job overviews, booklets and reports are partially sync'd
• Many other minor bugs and inconveniences, which we'll work through as we tick off the bigger issues.
• New game features including "Demonstrator vehicles" are not completely sync'd and will be worked on over the coming releases.
• When a job is completed and the Job Booklet is turned in by a client, cash only spawns on the host's game - this is expected to be fixed with Item Sync.
• When a job is completed and the Job Booklet is turned in by a client, the booklet may have incorrect information; this is a visual only bug.

Features in progress

• Job sync - This is on hold, pending release of item sync
• Item sync - good progress has been made; there were a few outstanding issues we were working on prior to B99's release. Major updates in B99 (many new "smart" items and a new mounting system) will delay the release of this feature

Can you make it work not only on Steam but also on pirated versions:)

@Haker1995
I would very strongly encourage you to support the developers by purchasing a legit copy of this amazing game.

Having said that, there is nothing in our code to block pirated copies from being used.

Have you tried using your pirated version?
My understanding is if Steam is installed it will still work, unless Steam themselves are doing a check on their servers, however it's not something we have tested, as we are assuming everyone has a legit copy of the game.
