Unable to change train schedule

Hi

I'm playing Simutrans 102.0 r2366 with pak128 on SuSE Linux 11.1.

I had a situation where a number of trains got stuck due to congestion. I was sorting this out by sending some of the trains back to their origin until the line became unblocked. However I've not got a situation where one train is stuck where it is. When I try and change that train's schedule I get the message 'The vehicles schedule must not be changed during route finding'.

I've done everything I can think of to try and force this train to complete it's route finding, even deleting all the tracks around it to try and get it to respond with 'no route available' but nothing I've done will free this train. I'm now left with the option of selling it in-situ.

This looks like a bug to me.

The save game is 4M in size and so too big to attach.

Regards

David

Quiting the game and reloading it freed the train; but I still hold that it shouldn't have got into that state in the first place.

This happens, if you paused the game. A new route is only calculated, if you unpause it.

The game wasn't paused. I had I think 5 trains all strynig to make use of same station and I re-routed all the others so the game wasn't paused at that point. Only this one train refused to recalculate it's route.

Mmh. Can you reproduce this ill-behaviour?

Probably not now. I've a save game with the train stuck; but when I reopened this game the train rerouted successfully so it's not reproducible from that. I could restart the game from the previous save; but the likelihood of the same situation coming together exactly as it did before is very remote.
