Ah, I see. I thought so too.
Hope a fix can come out soon.

Just loaded v1.2.1 and there's a major issue in the gameplay system.
Somehow, the game line, locomotive and tunnel count in the game glitches, as you can see here:
This is how the modded games look like on vanilla maps (and all other maps) on start:
And this is how it looks like on a vanilla game:
Note that the active line's circle at the bottom is supposed larger than the other non active lines, and the locomotive and tunnel counts is visible. Compared it to the bugged game, which the circle at the bottom shows no significant changes, and the tunnel and locomotive count is gone (unless the curser is on the bottom left screen, which would pull it up to its position like on the first image). I've tried changing my screen resolution from 3360*2100 all the way down to 1200*800, but it doesn't work either.
Also, when you draw your first line in a new game in vanilla, there will be an audio feedback when you complete the line (ie release your mouse/cursor) and the circle is expanded. This does not occur in the modded game.
This gets worse during the weekly upgrades, as selecting the line for the upgrade bugs the screen:
The line icon just stays there, where the icon for the line in the upgrade screen is supposed to be. However, the icon does not have any significant properties and they do not somehow block the mouse or any actions performed behind it, and I could drop a locomotive in it where the line runs through the bugged icon.
The icon doesn't disappear even getting to the menus:
In addition, the colours of the lines in the line indicators at the bottom would disappear and turn grey immediately once reaching to a certain point, but it occurs most during around the end where the player is about 1-2 line away to reach to the max line limit. Plus, with the bugged line indicator, you cannot remove the lines with a click - you need to drag them off manually.
A minor issue is that the Sound Handler in the game is kinda screwed, as the audio keeps on ripping every few seconds or so. In addition, custom maps don't seem to play their selected audio loadout theme, but vanilla maps do.
TLDR major issues in v1.2.1:
1. Line indicator is bugged;
2. Locomotive and tunnel counts are moved towards the bottom left corner for some reason, and the cursor needs to move all the way there to activate and view it if the bar isn't locked;
3. During weekly upgrade, if user chooses the line, the icon would somehow stay in the screen forever, but does not have any obstructive properties;
4. Audio feedback for drawing new lines is gone;
5. Custom map's audio loadout doesn't play;
6. Line indicator colours disappear entirely when reaching near the max line limit;
7. Lines cannot be removed with a click due to bugged line indicator interface.
Minor issues include:
1. Audio handling is bugged
Edit: all colours in the picture may look incorrect due to PNG compression
Edit 2: added audio issue
Hi!
So while most of my game play is still on V38 (cause the App Store hasn't pushed the update for me yet, sad), and it seems like there are some interesting glitches, notably:
1. Sound is not coming up, in my earphones nor my internal speakers, and
2. Maps are arranged strangely, although it works fine when played.
A few hilarious examples below:
Which also shows something: most of these maps have, such as the "Montreal" and "New York City", are sourcing from a language pack of the game itself. Does it mean that the game either, secretly has all major unicode fonts, or does it only happen to render those which are needed (ie different languages of cities for other languages than English)?
In the meantime, I'll just wait for V39...
A few bugs worthy to be pointed out but some could not be captured:
1. The main menu ambience music keeps playing as I scroll through the Toronto map to Casablanca, but dies out as I start to scroll from London onwards (like vanilla game)
2. the feedback sounds (ie the sound when you scroll through the buttons) still plays even when the mouse is not on Mini Metro/on the desktop screen.
3. Glitched render of the letter Q (which I can understand, since the game doesn't have it):
4. When clicking "Achievements" and "Scoreboard" buttons on the custom maps, the game would not respond and the only way to get it work again is to force quit it and reboot.
5. In creative mode, maps based on Lyon (or possibly all others) would start to glitch when you have more than 50+ stations, and start to even place new stations even on the dedicated boundaries of an existing station, sometimes even on the station itself (and note the disappearing "boundaries" of the stations):
The 3rd picture depicts my game crashing due to the glitched station.
Note: even as the game saved the file, upon rebooting the game and clicking "resume", nothing happens.
6. Screenshots could not be saved at times, as shown:
7. Potential infinite asset upgrade overflow may occur if asset max number/upgrade definitions is not defined correctly by the user:
I will update more as I find them.
Update: added 4,5,6
28 June Update: Dev confirmed on bugs 1-6; added 7
So a few bugs I spotted when I played the map:
1. Can add carriages onto commuter lines (read: non-playable lines), as seen on the left of the image (does not grey out unlike locomotives)
2. Pseudo-ghost square station (may be intended), on the right of the image
3. On the game playback overview window, where you can see how your system builds up and generate a gif from there, the commuter lines clips out of the window and extend beyond oblivion:
4. Incorrect line alignment, which is slightly infuriating:
5. Game going too fast (or is it meant to be?):
[Notice the speed of the trains after the x2 game speed]
6. Lines can overpass each other:
I think that's all the bugs Ive found so far after playing Rio. Will check on others soon.
I have a suggestion: Kuala Lumpur and Georgetown, both of which are cities of Malaysia.
Kuala Lumpur, FTKL
Rivers of Kuala Lumpur (and the greater Klang Valley):
And the metro map:
There are lots of current (and future) transit lines which are more than of the max 8 lines, but the ones I wish to see are:
- Kelana Jaya Line (pink)
- Ampang Line (Golden-Orange)
- Sri Petaling Line (Brown)
- MRT1 (dark green)
- MRT2 (yellow)
- MRT3 (grey) [cancelled line, but that doesn’t stop the dream of having a loop line!]
- KTM Seremban (dark blue)
- KTM Klang (red)
The map may be preferable to be centred at Kuala Lumpur as thats where all the rivers are at.
Georgetown, Penang
The Penang island, where business happens, and the mainland separated by the Malacca Strait:
And the transport plan for the island:
Some of the proposals which has been seriously considered upon is the Bayan Lepas LRT and the tram systems.
Current rail infrastructure only includes a regional commuter rail operated by the state railway company, KTM, and a funicular railway operated by the state for Penang Hill. A ferry service is operated from the newly opened Penang Central terminal which is also utilised for taxis and regional buses. This also connects to the main station serving Penang.
A square station on the island (and other special stations ie for the airport) would be interesting to see how players can get commuters and tourists from the mainland while balancing tunnel usage and capacity.
If anything, I can assist for the design of artworks and templates of the map to ensure that the features of the maps aligns with the cultures associated with the cities.
