We’re happy to announce that the "Asset Groups" bug in SP5 has been fixed with our latest hotfix update! This issue affected the placement of trackside objects on certain splines, but thanks to your reports and our investigations, we’ve resolved it.
What Was the Issue?
The bug was caused by a database repair process that could corrupt asset compatibility data.
It affected DLS and locally installed splines. Builtin and packaged DLC content were unaffected.
What’s Changed?
The hotfix ensures that affected splines and trackside assets now work correctly.
Users no longer need to apply workarounds—the issue has been resolved.
Looking Ahead
We’ve improved our testing and release processes to catch similar issues earlier.
We’ll continue refining our communication to keep the community better informed.
Thank you for your patience and feedback—your support helps make Trainz even better!

Streamlining Train Dispatch with the Living Railroad Dispatch Manager
Managing the complexities of a bustling railroad system is no easy task, but the new Living Railroad Dispatch Manager is here to simplify the process. This feature, designed for Trainz, centralizes the control and management of dispatch tasks, industry chains, and driver activity into one intuitive interface. Let’s dive into how this game-changing addition enhances gameplay for both hands-on operators and strategic managers.
This feature has been released for Trainz Plus members.
Why the Dispatch Manager Matters Previously, managing the Living Railroad system required navigating multiple windows to uncover issues or monitor industry chains—a time-consuming and inefficient process. The Dispatch Manager addresses these pain points by providing:
Issue Discovery: Quickly identify and resolve problems like stuck drivers or missing goods in industries.
Task Management: View active and potential tasks, claim them as a player, and generate automated instructions.
Comprehensive Overview: Monitor current dispatch activity, industry processes, and railroad health from a single window.
Key Features Centralized Settings: Adjust global Living Railroad settings, such as toggling dispatch on/off, restarting stuck AI, or delaying AI task assignments. This streamlines control over the entire system.
Filterable Lists: Use robust filters to focus on relevant items like industries, trains, or passenger stations. Search by keywords to locate specific tasks, commodities, or users.
Real-Time Updates: Changes take effect immediately, allowing you to react quickly to dynamic gameplay scenarios.
Task Claiming: Players can claim undispatched tasks or pause ongoing ones, enabling hands-on control of specific objectives.
User-Friendly Layout: A clean, resizable UI integrates seamlessly into gameplay, offering all relevant information without unnecessary clutter.
How It Improves Gameplay The Dispatch Manager empowers players to engage with the Living Railroad system in new ways. Whether you’re a hands-on operator or a behind-the-scenes strategist, this tool enhances your ability to:
Quickly assess and resolve dispatch issues.
Seamlessly transition between freight and passenger operations with TLR: Passenger Support is released.
Claim and manage tasks with minimal effort.
The Living Railroad Dispatch Manager is more than a tool—it’s your command center for building and optimizing a thriving railroad network. Let us know how it transforms your gameplay and share your feedback as we continue refining this powerful feature!

TRS22 SP4 Released
We are excited to announce the latest release of Trainz Simulator 2022. This update brings a host of new features, improvements, and bug fixes designed to enhance your experience with the latest Trainz code base.
Key Features and Improvements
Multiplayer Surveyor Route Export
Trainz Plus Only Create your routes online using Multiplayer Surveyor then export them to continue using them offline. Enjoy the flexibility to upload and download routes to and from MPS anytime with Trainz Plus. A new Publish Route to TCCP option is found in the Sharing Menu for TCCP Route export.
Surveyor 2.0 Bulk Replace
Trainz Plus and TRS22 PE S20 now includes bulk replace functionality that operates seamlessly across both HD and legacy terrain. Replace one or more objects with a new asset across your entire route, significantly speeding up route creation and upgrades. A new Bulk Replace Filtered Assets option can be found by right clicking an asset in the Asset Palette. This should be used in conjunction with Filter Palette. This is a quick solution to users that require bulk replace functionality in S20 and on HD terrain. We have future plans to roll out new functionality to bulk operations.
Filter Palette
Trainz Plus and TRS22 PE The Filter Palette allows you to further segment presets and picklists. By enabling or disabling specific assets within the Filter Palette, you gain precise control over the currently selected asset list. This is only available in Surveyor 2.0. Asset Palette filter categories relocated to the new Filter Palette. A new Select in Filter Palette option is found under the S20 assets contextual menu. Opens the Filter palette and highlights the asset under custom filter.
Minor Features
Edit Route Detail
Trainz Plus Only SD/HD option - Found in the Edit Route dialog, this option only applies to the new HD Terrain type. It allows a route owner to limit the precision of terrain edits made. Setting the option to SD limits editing precision to 2m resolution, while the HD option enables the full 0.125m precision giving much finer control. This is able to be set and used in MPS Routes as well as local. This takes effect on an edit-by-edit basis and does not retroactively modify the existing route detail.
Show Logs List
Trainz Plus and TRS22 Platinum Edition New Logs found under Developer options on the Trainz Launcher. These logs are serverside logs, typically generated by operations which run partly or entirely on our servers. Whenever you view one of these logs (eg. through the TCCP project edit window) it's added into this master list so you can get back to it later.
