Version 1.1 is an update to Whitecoast City Railway. The update released on 23 March 2024 at 16:09 UTC, 9 minutes later than the originally announced time due to preparations taking longer than expected.[1]
Release[]
Upon release the update had many bugs and issues. Common bugs included incorrect sounds on trains, trains not being removed when abandoned, and players immediately being kicked out for "flying". The servers were eventually forced to close for emergency fixes[2] before being reopened 27 minutes later.
The release gained massive criticism with many people believing that the update had been rushed, with beta testers have confirming these claims.[3][4] Staff were also criticised for their handling of the situation.
In the hours and days after release, game servers were frequently shut down as patches for different bugs were rolled out.
