SCR Version 1.5 is an update that was added on May 1, 2020. BanTech confirmed on Discord that the update will most likely release between May 2 00:00 GMT and May 5. This is likely to change as time goes past, but in-game there is a screen which mentions a reboot at 23:00GMT, 1st May 2020.
Most of the information which is known comes from the video that BanTech released, called "Change is Coming...", shown on the right.
The update is mainly gameplay-focused instead of network-focused, in a way like V1.3. Among the major features are the new Guard roles and the last few Previous Generation trains being upgraded.
Official Update Features
- Addition of the Guards role and HUD, along with interaction with drivers and dispatchers.
- Changes to the driving HUD to accommodate guards.
- End of passenger loading procedure changed to require driver input to close doors.
- 5 bonus points for each stop if you have a guard for the entire loading procedure.
- Dispatch procedure split accordingly to provide close doors approval followed by final dispatch approval once doors are shut. Dispatch baton displays green for final dispatch.
- Changed the behind-the-scenes workflow for receiving and processing payments to ensure points aren't lost, even when Datastores or API are being dodgy.
- Class 165, 166, 380 and 730 upgraded to next-gen, completing the replacement of all old "paper" fleet trains. Interiors and doors will no longer be referred to as next-gen.
- Edgemead OFF indicators added.
- Faymere dispatching enabled.
- Reliability improvements to edge cases where dispatchers are assigned or removed mid-loading to prevent being stranded.
- Class 165/1 added at no extra cost with 165/0 purchase.
