Certainly looks interesting. I know we get Transport Fever 3 this week, but rather pricey and by no means certain my old CPU will like it. Going to put this on my watch list.

Watched a video about it on YT Vern, a few comments were that it was too good to be true. I pre-ordered TF3 Deluxe, so roll on Tuesday mate 😀.

Unfortunately I can’t run TF3 as it needs a CPU that can handle AVX2, whatever that is, from what I can see on Google the game won’t even run if not compatible. So for now reinstalled TF2 which I tend to play as a big model railway rather than serious economy!

I think quite a few people might get caught out by that one.

AVX2 (Advanced Vector Extensions 2) is an Intel x86 instruction-set extension that expands AVX for faster SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) processing, especially with 256-bit integer operations. It adds features like 256-bit YMM registers and support for instructions such as fused multiply-add (FMA).

Just checked my i7-14700F, you had me worried there Vern.

Yes I've been followig this and got to know the developer. Pretty much doing 80 percent of what I always wanted, so I changed my focus for now.

Thanks

Well just ran CPU-Z and according to its findings my CPU does support AVX2. So I might give TF3 a try. Can always refund if necessary.

Just had a quick play with TF3, graphically very nice. Only playing sandbox using the supplied mod, i enjoy these types of games but i am not very good at all the money orientated stuff.

Very good news Vern, at least you can give TF3 a go now.
