This evening we present OpenTTD 0.5.2-RC1 to you. As usual with these minor releases, we have fixed a fair share of bugs that exist in 0.5.1. The most annoying one would be the bug that crashes the server and client when removing a bridge when a vehicle is still on the ramp.

Downloads are over at http://www.openttd.org/downloads.php Please be patient while SF distributes the files and we compile more binaries.

Have fun with this new release!

• Fix: Loading some TTDP savegames caused an instant assertion on loading (r9857)
• Fix: [NewGRF] Catch occurance of division-by-zero in varaction handling (r9837)

Nice work.

Do you also have a list with added features?

It's a bugfix release so no new features except one (very) small thing that might be useful for server administrators (showing whether a game is protected in the "players" console command).

So will the first official release with real aircraft speeds be 0.6.0 then?

Yes

Yeah! but please make it an editable feature.

Uhm... Whoa! Nice! Well I'll check this out later when I'm at home.

Any known problem with trainincome just after a train is recently bought and makes it's first run? Yesterday my brother played 0.5.2-RC1 and he had several trains making a big loss in their first runs, while runningcosts could never make that happen (runningcosts ~4600 , loss ~34000)

That train lost is most likely caused by improper use of transfers or transferred goods waiting too long at the station which caused the value to drop a lot, but the other trains are already (virtually) paid, so the last train has to 'pay' for that.

Two of my servers crashed on me today with 0.5.2-RC1:

One with this error:

openttd: station_cmd.c GetStationPlatforms: Assertion `TileBelongsToRailStation(st, tile)' failed.

The other one just said "server exited" without any reason.

I am using brianetta's autopilot, could that have anything to do with it?

I saved the network.tmp on the first error. It's a 1.9 Mb file. Tell me where to send it, or where to post it and i'll supply it

I'd say, just post them here.

Okay, here goes

Did you guys find anything in that savegame?

Sadly enough not, I had it running overnight and it didn't crash :(

Bummer.

Does the errormessage tell you anything at all? e.g. what a user maybe was doing during the crash?

openttd: station_cmd.c GetStationPlatforms: Assertion `TileBelongsToRailStation(st, tile)' failed.

Perhaps the error only appears when a certain action is performed, and obviously it would be almost impossible to find out what it was, and almost impossible to replicate.

I had another server just "exit" without any warning messages, not sure what that was all about either.

ive downloaded openttd 0.5.2 rc1 and installed it but i tryed out the private messages and it still doesnt work and the game says ottd 0.5.1 on the blue bar at the top of the screen I put that in case its aney help.

Then you haven't (properly) installed 0.5.2-RC1 for some reason.

Or are using the wrong shortcut, if it is not installed over the previous version.

Hello i have to report an important bug. I started a game with the EURO value. The maximum loan at tha moment was 700.000 euro. Then I tried to change into another value (e.g. Italian Lira). OK. Then the game WON'T LET ME CHANGE BACK into Euro value!!!

Then, another little thing. I tried to change into another value (e.g. English £) and the maximum loan had changed a little (not corresponding exactly with the 700.000 Euro)
