A new version of Simutrans-Experimental is available to-day: Simutrans 112.3 Experimental 11.34. See here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=1894.0) for more information on how to download, install and set up the latest version. For those already familiar with the installation and setup, here are some quick links:
- Windows binaries (http://bridgewater-brunel.me.uk/downloads/Simutrans-Experimental.zip)
- Linux binaries (i386) - Not available at present (Linux build server down)
- Linux binaries (x64) - Not available at present (Linux build server down)
- Mac OS X binaries (64-bit)
- Linux server binaries (x64) (http://bridgewater-brunel.me.uk/downloads/linux-x64-server-binaries.tar)
- Configuration files (http://bridgewater-brunel.me.uk/downloads/simutrans-experimental-config.zip)
Note that the Windows binaries contain the Windows version of the no-graphics server, Makeobj and Nettool, and the Linux server binary contains the Linux version of Nettool. The Windows version contains both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries, although the 32-bit binaries are now large address aware, meaning that, if supported by the system, they can use up to 3 (or possibly 4)Gb of RAM. There is no longer a separate large address aware binary.
This is a minor release with one or two bug fixes, including a bug that had crashed the Bridgewater-Brunel online game. The last major release was Simutrans-Experimental 11.0 (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=12138), which contained significant enhancements over the previous version.
A full list of changes follows.
Changes since 11.34
- CHANGE: Abolish the separate "large address aware" 32 bit executable for Windows: all 32-bit builds are now large address aware.
- FIX: Occasional crashes relating to the smoke graphics (backported from Standard)
- FIX: Factory (usually farm) production when upgrading did not update to take into account fields until the game was reloaded.
Feedback and testingThanks also to all those who have played Simutrans-Experimental and provided feedback, bug reports and the like: it is very much appreciated. Any feedback from this version would, as ever, also be very much appreciated, including (1) the new features introduced in 11.0 (see here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=12138.msg119807#msg119807)); (2) online play (see here (http://servers.experimental.simutrans.org/list) for a list of Simutrans-Experimental servers); (3) general bug reports; (4) information as to how well-balanced that the game is; (5) any difference in approach/strategy needed for Simutrans-Experimental as over Simutrans-Standard; (6) any issues specific to the Windows 64-bit version; and (7) any other useful feedback.
I shall bid people good playing, and look forward to any feedback!
Edit: Note that there are a few known bugs with this version. The current development priority is the next major release (see here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=14690) for details), so bugfix updates for the 11.x series may not be forthcoming because of the additional time that that takes.
