Ok, so here some truble I experienced:

- sometimes when I reverse a train using a wrong positioned switch, the locomotive gets separated from the wagons and "jumps" on another track (happens when the train is on a another switch).

- normally, when a train is entering a station and a another train is going to leave from it, it waits and the blinking lights are on. I had two trains running into the "town" station the one very close behind the other and while the first was entering town, the lights went on, signalling, that there will be a train leaving the "town". The second train was also already in the "town", yet the outgoing did not wait and started right after the first vanished. Is the waiting mechanism programmed only for one incoming train?

I know, that these problems might be hard to imagine by my words, so I try to get some PrintScreens and post a link here.

I'm glad you brought this up, I too have had this issue and automatically adjust for the allowance of one train in followed by one out before allowing the next to enter a depot/bldg.

It is and at the same time is not a bug.
The section of track attached to each building is part of the building so if your 2nd train is outside this and on a piece of track which you can move/demolish it counts the way as clear and allows the next train to exit.

Depending on the angle of the building placement this section of 'attached' track can vary in length and therefore the time of clearance for a train to enter or leave also varys, hence it can seem like a bug.

The above link shows how the sawmill has a longer 'attached' track than the passanger station, hopefully this makes things understood a little more

Have you had a crash at that depot before hand?
Even if you haven't try adding a piece of track over the top of that already there.
Also try reversing back further and flick the (primary)switch back and forth - see guide for further details.
Hopefully this helps and either others or yourself won't have this problem pop back up.

Well this one is not really a bug - just cosmetics: I noticed, that the passenger carriages have doors in the end of the car (in travelling direction) on all views, yet when the car is going towards the money tab (north-west, where north is up on your screen), the door is in the front. As I stated - not a bug just cosmetics ;-)

The wood transporters also have this cosmetic issue (instead of doors the direction of the iron bar is twisted).

I think I have mentioned that in some games depending on the angle-placement. That the home station gives you a little more time to see what cargo is coming out of it, hence more time-more track length enabling the player to switch the points over.

Not exactly a bug, but I do see what your getting at. I am sure this will help our newer players as well, Thanks!

How can I get connected from my mochigames-account to the leaderboard of this game? I cannot start the game from there and my score does not come up at the leaderboard, when I play here - even when I'm logged in at mochigames at the same time :-(

o.k. now I installed the latest adobe flashplayer plugin and disactivated the blocking software. So my mochigame profile meanwhile notices, that I'm playing Railway Valley but it seems not to be able to read out my 506000-score - that's awful!

Oh, really?! I haven't any problems with Mochi scores before. Was there any error report?

Hello,can anyone play your little train game or just a select few?
Why can't I/we get past the menu page?

I have heard about this bug, but it quite rare, and I cant catch it myself. The main majority of players can go throw main page. Try to update your flash player or launch the game in different browser.

1) It plays just fine for me on this site. 2) Can you resend the game code, I think something got deleted, that's why it won't show up.

to Man: it is strange, because all versions on different sites are the same. There is no difference between them, and there is no code inside to prevent playing from other sites. My statistics said that RV game was played on more than 600 sites millions times.
to Anonymous: It is really strange. I don't know why it stops exactly in the main menu. Please try to download the game SWF and launch it locally - http://railwayvalley.com/sites/railwayvalley.com/files/swf/railway_valley.swf

I'm fully addicted to this game. I usually play on Mindjolt Games, but when I play on your web site, it does not save my high scores. I just played a $494000 game here.

I think the problem of saving scores does really exist.
As mentioned above - in last post by MCS, it's not possible to submit score from here. But I have the same problem also when I'm playing RV on others gaming websites. Today I've noticed it's trying to connect with Mindjolt Games server, but unsuccessfuly. I just don't understand why...
So now I'm going to try it on Mindjolt Games.

Edit:
And yes, there it works well!

Unfortunately I have to remark it again: the high scores problem hangs on.

I'm not able to submit my score from everywhere but Mindjolt. I have tried it from at least five or six different websites (including here), but it works just at www.mindjolt.com. And as I noticed in status bar - others only unsuccessfuly refers right there...

It seems to be indifferent to everyone. But for me that means a reason I can't fully enjoy this awesome game.

Flazm, please, can you make an answer?

It doesn't matter which one is played. I'm sure it doesn't work in any of three difficulty levels...
