Hello

I've recently starting playing TT again after some time and I downloaded the version (1.2.1). The problem I am having is when I am loading steel onto my steel wagons, after iron ore has been dropped off of course, the wagons ain't loading.

On closer inspection, I think I have identifed the problem with the wagons (see attached picture)

Can anyone advise me on how to sort this error out?

Cheers.

You either have changed newgrfs in the game, or you have conflicting newgrfs.
Either way, your game is messed up beyond repair.

To sort out the mess (depending on how you got into it), either don't change newgrfs in a running game or check which newgrfs can be used together (or perhaps more relevant, which ones are incompatible with each other).

Hello

Based on what you have said, I have posted another screen shot of these patches that are with the game. Can I disable them and carry on with the game or do I have to restart?

Thanks again for your help.

Disabling newgrfs also counts as "changing newgrfs in game", so no, you cannot fix it that way.
Obviously, you can continue the current game, but you'll be stuck with the broken cargoes. You may also run into other issues later in the game.

As for your next game, it is really useful to make sure that your newgrfs are compatible, 'danger triangles' are a sure sign of trouble ahead.
Unfortunately, these checks cannot be done until after you started a game.
Therefore when you use a new combination of newgrfs, it is worth checking the newgrf window for problems before you invest a lot of time into playing a game.

That makes me think of a suggestion: how about opening the NewGRF window automatically after starting a new game in case there are warning triangles?
