⚠ IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ⚠
Good evening to all,
First of all, I would like to thank you for your interest in the Grand Paris-Moulon addon. I know how much many of you are looking forward to it. After 6 years of work, you can be sure that on my side, I was also looking forward to being able to publish this addon to the public so that you can enjoy a new and much more realistic gaming experience than what OMSI used to offer.
However, as you have seen, it was a very difficult day for the release of the addon. Here are some explanations so that you can understand things very clearly without taboos :
- The version integrated and released on Steam this morning to the general public is a version from 26/01 morning. Unfortunately, in the meantime, our team has detected other bugs. A patch was packaged last night. However, our editor didn't have time to integrate it for this morning's release, which is perfectly understandable. As a result, we are actively working on patching the map. The known bugs are : Missing tile on the RD36 area (lines 8, 14, 91.06A and 91.06D) because missing object: X10 R420 + C2 NGT AI vehicle not optimised + AI Class A vehicle which has script problems.
- Second problem, and especially the biggest problem, is that the addon's online activation plugin did not work as we wanted it to ... or at least does not seem to work in any other community than the French. Indeed, I had no feedback on any activation problem from the French community, the step seems very simple for you. On the other hand, on the German and other sides, some people encounter very big bugs that simply prevent OMSI from opening. So, the fact that they have GPM on their Steam library clearly prevents them from playing OMSI (even for maps other than GPM, like Grundorf etc ...). This poses a real problem. Therefore, it has been decided to temporarily disable the sale of the addon on the Steam platform. This is the reason why this afternoon, most of them were not able to download the addon after payment. Some even uninstalled the addon automatically. Don't worry, it's normal, it's an action of our editor. I think this action is still going on at the time of writing.
Now let's talk about what will happen in the next few hours/days:
We are working with our editor to resolve these big bugs as soon as possible.
Rest assured that we are doing our best to publish a patch as soon as possible so that you can resume your activities on the addon or buy the addon.
It may take longer than expected to patch a new working version. The rigour is of our quality, not the speed 😉 .
On behalf of the whole team, I would like to offer my sincere apologies for these totally unexpected bugs. It is obvious that I would not allow myself to provide a version as buggy as this one. It is totally involuntary on my part.
I would also like to apologize for my inactivity today, apart from this hard day due to the many bugs in the addon, I also have an IRL job which also takes up a lot of my time. I couldn't be as reactive as I would have liked to be.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the positive comments that I have read on Facebook, forums etc... It makes me very happy, just to let you know.
For the negative or aggressive comments, I understand your dissatisfaction, be sure. I ask you to be patient a little longer in order to enjoy a better gaming experience on my addon.
Please take care of yourself,
Yours sincerely,
AgoraS-114
Developer of the Grand Paris-Moulon addon
