The 'Release Version' of T:ANE was released on May 15, 2015; this page is about updates to it and differences from the rough release version called 'T:ANE Community Edition', and some of the Kickstarter variants. This page details the changes N3V Games software professionals both documented, and believe they've fixed.

Highlights include[edit]

A large number of additions and improvements were implemented since the previous pre-release version a month earlier.

the updated Deltic cab to showcase high resolution cab interiors
cubemap support in E2 (reflective materials)
content creator support for cubemap materials
spotlight support for alpha materials (e.g. some speedtrees, “night” lights etc)
configurable parameters for procedural junctions (for content creators)
further custom sleeper improvements
some lighting anomalies with procedural junction and track fixed
the long pause when compiling shaders at startup fixed
the short pause when compiling material shaders when loading assets in-game fixed
in-game screenshot support, review screenshots and auto-upload to the new Gallery
improved access to performance options plus Ctrl - and Ctrl + to adjust draw distance 'on the fly'
remaining built-in Session issues fixed
DLS upload support for T:ANE users
Numerous minor bug fixes, crash fixes and tweaks (full list to be provided upon release)
Updates to wiki including: procedural track specs

A full list of changes will be posted on the forums and linked here prior to release.

Kickstarter DRM-Free Version[edit]

In the Kickstarter campaign, N3V Games offered a 'offline' version that would never require going online unless the user wanted to take advantage of any online features.

This version has a check-box control to enable DRM or not; so staying offline when running T:ANE. (See this image) Simply uncheck the box to allow entry of your MyTrainz username and password to allow access to the DLS, multiplayer, chat etc. Note that you should shut down the game after changing your online settings and RESTART in order to enable or disable the online features.

While the box is checked, you will not be able to:

enter your MyTrainz Username and password
view any 'new' Download Station listings
download from the DLS (anerror such as; - Unable to search asset <kuid:252271:301>. Unable to contact server. will appear)
see or participate in multiplayer sessions
see or participate in Trainz chat

You will be able to check for online updates and installing any game updates will not change your build from the 'offline' mode.

Changelists[edit]

Release Build[edit]

The following list includes code changes between TANE CE and TANE release build

Improve Windows handling of over-long text string display- instead of failing to render outright, we now render the first part of the string.
Fixes for Windows mouse-cursor setting.
Improve the handling of over-long text edit controls in Windows.
Increase the maximum size of native combo boxes in Windows.
Improve the handling of large durations in the profiler.
Improve the handling of long file paths in Windows.
Fix Windows 'Import Content Folder' to remember the last-used path.
Fixes for Drag & Drop in Windows.
E2 cube-map support.
Fixed crash in post-processing systems.
Fixed crash in the lighting systems.
Precompile more shaders during engine startup, to avoid stalls at runtime.
Add per-asset configuration options for water.
Added sun-shaft effect.
Undocumented change to the asset description text in the asset details window.
Fix DLS downloads which were flagged as modified.
Prevent attempting multiple concurrent DLS downloads for non-FCT users (which would fail.)
Add localisation support for 'filter', 'save' buttons in content windows, and the 'Edit Search Filters' functions.
Change launcher buttons to use Arial font.
Add launcher notification when settings have been modified that require a restart, so that users understand that simply closing the game window is not sufficient.
Improve the capturing of various runtime error logs into the per-operation result logs.
Prevent automatic close-on-success of 'revert unchanged' task window if any assets were not reverted.
Added 'main thumbnail' and 'loco icons' options to automatic thumbnail generation.
Fix the fast-path sort function for content windows.
Display the DLS EULA when using the DLS upload function.
Enable the 'Download' function for any non-builtin asset, even if the asset itself is already locally installed. This helps to download updates and dependencies.

Add support for content installation and download links (.CDP extension, trainz:// helper links, etc.)
Improve the installer mechanism for setting the data path, so that an unnecessary data directory is not created in the default location.

Default 'offline mode' to active where available.
Improve the handling of language selection.
Improve handling of cancellation of quit and window closure.
Improve Windows cursor handling in the main game window.

Silently ignore invalid 'null' strings where KUIDs are expected in assets prior to v4.1.
Add a validation error for missing SRT files.

Minor fixes for Surveyor environment dialog.

Reduce the amount of polling in various minor systems, which could scale up with large routes.
Added support
