Trains getting jammed up...but OUTSIDE CITY (inported from steam)

[Thadwookie]

I understand how posts of steam can get lost, so I'm posting here original post was on steam but i want to post here from now on.
Most the replys on my post are totally irrelivent as it's user error that trains are getting backed up my issue is seporate from 95% of the replys, the trains are outside city map zone and while exiting the map, outside my city limits the trains are backed up and not disappearing from the map, no congestion in the city.on map "two Rivers"

I have exactly the same problem, I had to triple the train lanes to be able to have any flow at all but even then they join before leaving the city and I have 2 lanes 100% full from train station to the outside of the city

I've got the same problem, I end up deleting the last piece of rail on either end of my city to clear it, and within a few minutes, its backed up again.

I have the same exact problem , trains just back up on the outside.

this darned train is causing the backlog.. it takes simply forever for it to leave the map, they leave the map 1 by 1, so when it is its turn to do so it slowly creeeps up to the map edge and then halfway through the border as it dissapears it suddenly stops and Wait and wait.. seems like it wait for an oncoming train to pass it or something, then after many seconds it slowly creeps over the edge and then its the next train in the lines turn. it goes so slow to pass the edge that it cause a backlog and after some time that backlog have entered the middle of your city.

I have the same issue. It seems trains are exiting extremely slowly. If you want save game I would share it if it helps.

I've got the same problem, trains getting stuck leaving the map.
Map name : Diamond coast.
Number of people : 82.000
Tiles unlocked : 9
Mods used : none
OS : Windows 8.1
CPU : min requirement
Ram : 8GB
GPU : min requirement
Trains leaving to the West side of center tile are blocked. Almost as if they don't move.
Trains leaving to the East side of center tile seem to function normally.

80% cargo trains, 20% passenger trains seems to be the ratio of stuck trains.
Deactivating cargo stations doesn't help.

If more info is required, feel free to contact me.
Several saved games are available. One a day of gameplay.

Thanks for confirming that it's just not me, i'm sure they will fix it soon enough so i can go back to my big city.

A tempory fix is to split your rail line to External and Internal. ie, cut off your internal lines from the outside and have interchange stations for passenger and cargo.

Here is an example, the Red train is bringing people in and the Blue is the city's internal line. Since disconnecting, i've had no problems.

Hmmm, that could work. Will check it out.
Hope it does work with the cargo stations. Man they will have to transport a lot of goods by road from one station to the other.

 

[Socapex]

Unfortunately that isn't possible in my current city (everything is way to jam-packed), but I will definitely keep it in mind for my next one Also, I've managed to micro-optimize the whole road system so cargo trains aren't as needed anymore. Though it sucks because train routes are so much fun

edit: What's even more funny is that the RockPaperShotgun review mentions this bug:

The only thing that might have been a bug I encountered was a train jam. As they exited the map, carrying passengers and cargo out to other, unknown cities, they became backed up into this line of over a dozen stalled trains I could do nothing about because whatever was causing it was out of my city limits, in some place I couldn’t even see. I can’t rule out this being a result of something I did, but even wholesale rebuilds of my own train network just saw the same thing happen again soon.

Have had this issue as well.

Thank you, but this has nothing to do with the topic, its becoming another steam topic where no one reads the whole article, let me emphasize this is not a post to help on traffic in city, its a post about people having issues about the issue i have.. TRAINS NOT DISAPPEARING OUTSIDE CITY ZONE DURING THEIR REMOVAL OF THE MAP, thanks.

I have had this happen. It is obviously a bug because it is not consistent. Well, it is persistent once it happen, but if you start another game it might not happen. When it happened to me it affected only one line out of four lines. This was my first city and it had only 20k. Now I have another with 70k, on the same map, and everything is fine. It has nothing to do with population or the amount of traffic on the line. It's simply a bug.

 

[Thadwookie]

Same! I'm just taking abreak until they patch it, so i can play my 140K city. Cannot wait!

 

[YoDaddy]

This problem happens with ships as well. They pile up coming into port and even dock ontop of each other endlessly

 

[Guilliman88]

Replying to confirm I have this issue too.

 

[Mogo]

I love the game, but this bug is a killjoy. It already destroyed one of my savegames as my city didn't recover from the "not enough goods" problem AFTER all train jams were gone.

 

[Fred T]

It's just horrible. Everything is working just fine in my 160k city except those damn trains! Total jam all over the map because of problems outside city borders. Unplayable!

 

[Mogo]

There is this 100k city, where I had the train jam problem. After disconnecting the tracks at the border I waited untill the jam disappeared. Problem solved, didn't come back, but...

..the game somehow didn't recover from the missing supplies and I got "Not enough goods to sell" all over the city. There was absolutly no chance to fix it. Trains and ships arrive with <20% load, no traffic jams at all...
So I tried something new and erased every single commercial area in the city. You would expect the little blue 'commercial demand' bar to rise, but nope, stayed where it was at zero. Seems like my city didn't need commercial buildings no more.
