Transport Fever 3 was updated today (build 40423): please update MPFever. On this new build, MPFever 0.4.0 lost its synchronisation fixes and the games kept drifting apart.

MPFever is still in active development: back up your savegames.

Two archives

  • MPFever-0.4.1.zip: for players.
  • MPFever-0.4.1-server.zip: the same, plus what a dedicated server needs (start-server.bat, SERVER.txt).

MPFever 0.3.15 and later update themselves to 0.4.1 when the game closes. Every player needs the same version.

Fixes

  • Game build 40423 (#77): when the game is updated, MPFever finds the places it needs in the game's code by their « signatures ». The file holding them was missing from the archives. On build 40423, MPFever 0.4.0 then turned all its synchronisation fixes off, and the games drifted apart after a few builds (vehicles, towns: many resyncs).

    0.4.1 ships the file. On 40423, everything is found except 4 places used by « one company per player » only.

  • Savegames of a game not installed through Steam (#76): MPFever only looked for savegames in Steam's folder. With the game installed elsewhere, hosting said « savegame not found ». MPFever now asks the game where its savegames are.

New

  • Game updates: when Transport Fever 3 is updated to a build MPFever does not know yet, every player is told in the chat that desyncs may happen until MPFever is updated.

Checked

  • Two PCs on build 40423: several road sections built in a row, in sync.
  • The signatures: all places found on 40420; on 40423, all of them except the 4 of « one company per player ».

Known limitations

  • One company per player on build 40423: 4 places of the engine are not found yet; this mode may not work fully on this build.
  • A bus stop placed on a bridge reshapes the ground a little on the other games only: the towns drift apart, and MPFever reloads the game after a few checks.
  • Tested with: game builds 40420 and 40423, Windows only.

Thanks
