Physics problem when restoring save.

I get the difference. Doesn't explain why my train is stopped yet going 13 and 24mph at the same time lol.

I noticed the speed on the cab speedometer and the track monitor no longer match whenever there is a bad bout with wheel slip. Even if you get the slip under control, the speeds stay off, non-matching.

After I upgraded to 1435, I could no longer restore saves as young as 1417. I would presume something has changed that has required the breaking of many saves regardless of version.

You’re right that wheel slip can cause a mismatch between the cab speedometer and the track monitor, as the game’s physics engine struggles to sync the data afterward. It’s a known quirk in such simulations.

Regarding save compatibility after upgrading to version 1435, this is likely due to changes in how save data is managed in newer versions. To verify speed independently, you might find the train speed test tool useful for accurate cross-checking.

It’s worth reporting these issues to the Open Rails team for clarity or potential fixes. Hope this helps! 😊

Saves even on 1.5.1 are useless. Not sure what happened, but it's fantastic when you save, come back later, and it screws up the path, and gives you an "End Node" in F4. You hit Ctrl M for manual, and again for Auto Signal, and it doesn't fix it like it used to.
Instead you continue to get a stop & proceed signal, and then a stop signal. Hit tab, and it denies you permission every single time.

"If it's not broken, don't fix it" apparently is out the window.

Hi Shawn,

Version 1.6 is being prepared, would you be able to test with that when it is released?
Should fix some of your issues.

Will give it a try when that does get released and see if anything changes or if it remains the same.

I do wish there was a different way to deal with the hot bearings. Hot wheels aren't popping up, just bearings, usually a hot wheel will start first, and typically we stop, check it out, set/release. If it does it again, car with become cut out and reported, or set out.

Hot journals get set out regardless, but I feel like even with the random issues set to 1, it shouldn't be popping up in every activity.
