This patch fixes nearly 20 issues related to pathfinding AI, train reversing AI and rescue scenarios.
The loading screen now loads all train models and scenery in advance. This has the advantage that the simulation runs more smoothly, but the downside is that preloading can take a long time.
You can interrupt the preloading process after the first phase is complete by pressing the "Start already" button in the bottom-right corner. The scenery will then load during the simulation as in the previous versions.
Scenery preloading is automatically skipped for editors, quick start and continuing a saved game.
The first phase of scenery loading has also been optimised, as has been the actual loading of separate scenery objects during the simulation (buildings in particular).
