Fixed bug that would sometimes cause chunks to load as holes in the world.

Hi all,

This update fixes a problem where map exits don't work with the exit key, but only with the lock picks.

Till later,
André

New costumes

-New Intro

Theoretically, every game pad should work. However, I'm poor and I don't have the chance to test them all. If the buttons do not work, do not forget to assign keys from the settings. If you have a cheap gamepad like me, You can run it thanks to https://www.x360ce.com/.

By the way, it was a difficult process for me, I added console support to the game for the first time, after failing for 2 days, it was solved very easily thanks to Rama UE4 Plugins. The Unreal community is really helpful.

Anyway, I hope it runs smoothly on your controllers.
If it works or doesn't work, I would appreciate it if you let me know.

Best regards

Okan.

Hello everyone,

We've been reading and processing your feedback over the past 48 hours regarding some of the adjustments we've made to the Highwayman as part of the Infernal Pursuits update. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share their thoughts on our Discord, and Steam.

As you know, we're always keen to listen to our community and we value your perspectives. We'll be digesting this feedback over the next few days and looking at where we can make further changes - stay tuned! In the meantime, we hope you’ll bear with us and enjoy some of the other changes and new additions in the update.

The Red Hook Team

We are happy to announce that we have implemented a new vehicle into the game: Say hi to the DT5.1 series!

The background: In the real world, the DT5 was delivered in a total of 10 batches during the years from 2011 to 2023. There are various differences in detail between the different batches, and the equipment of the DT5 was also modified over time. Up to now, we had exclusively focused on the DT5.2 series in SubwaySim, and from now on, you will be able to experience the DT5.1's particular features as well.

There are a number of differences between the DT5.1 and DT5.2 series, for example regarding the exterior, the interior and the cab. The vehicles 301 to 418 are referred to as the DT5.1 series, and vehicles 419-463 are associated with the DT5.2 series.


Interior

The most striking difference for passengers is probably the vehicle's interior. The DT5.1 series are equipped with older screens for the passenger information system (PIS). These screens are comparably small and built with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Since the delivery of the DT5.2 in 2020, larger PIS screens in 16:9 have been used, which look much more spacious and modern.


Driver's Cab and Door Controls

In the past, some of you had pointed out to us that the door controls of the game's DT5 were not the same as the original. In fact, the HOCHBAHN has made significant changes to the door controls in recent years, causing the confusion.

We have therefore decided to feature the DT5.1 series in its original state, similar to how it was delivered in 2011. In this state (on the left of the screenshot), there are 3 yellow buttons (L, A, T) for door controls as well as two buttons for side-selective door unlocking. Force-opening all doors is possible by holding down the door unlocking button for 3 seconds or more.

In contrast, the DT5.2 (the current 2024 version) is equipped with a separate button dedicated to force-opening the doors (in the centre in white), and its button layout therefore deviates from the DT5.1. Another special feature of the DT5.2 is that the doors can only be released on one side when the cab is activated. If you want to unlock both sides, you will need to deactivate the cab.

Attention: Due to the different button layout in the cab, the keyboard assignments of both variants are also slightly different, so you will actually notice a difference when driving.



Exterior and Front

As part of the MEGA update, we have also reworked the front of the DT5. The front section and the rubber seals of both variants are now even closer to the original, and the windscreen wipers have also received a facelift. However, the differences between the DT5.1 and DT5.2 are less obvious on the outside than in the interior. The contemporary version of the HVV logo is noticeable, and there is also a difference in the headlight arrangement, which is reversed on the DT5.1 compared to the DT5.2. You can see the difference in the arrangement of the white and red lights in the screenshot above.


Audio

There's one more detail, namely the vehicle's audio. Recently, the DT5 vehicles at HOCHBAHN received a software update so that the brake squeal when stopping is no longer present. Accordingly, DT5.1 and DT5.2 will differ in SubwaySim: The DT5.1 will continue to have the typical squealing sound, while the DT5.2 will only brake electrically (and therefore silently) until at standstill.


The SubwaySim MEGA update: Not long to go until the release!

In the next few weeks, we will be releasing the MEGA update, with which we have made fundamental changes to the game. To do this, we've redeveloped all of the game's core systems from the ground up to provide you with the best possible entertainment.

Stay tuned - there are more announcements to come on this topic!

Finished level waves for medium and easy mode for rest of the levels.
