I did a test on an iMac using Firefox, Safari and Opera and all displayed fine. It was not my system but the one in my local Apple store. I did the same test on my iPhone and iPad and all browsers do display the text properly.

What is the result if you delete the TOCgame cookie and reload the page?

No different, all the other text on the page is perfect, just the News section

It appears the style that is causing the issue as when I set this to ignore the "small fonts" is ignored

I registered earlier this afternoon but I can't log in: "Wrong nickname or password."

I've also noticed today the game isn't running the simulation for the next day, instead responding "Previous day was skipped due to excess server load"

Edit: I've just got the simulation page (before other users must have run it) and it takes ages to load the iframe before returing the error message "Could not load company"

I managed to register and make a company, but when I log in it says "failed to load company"

Well it happened to me when I removed m company from the beginner 1 game so I hope I haven't broken it all.

I removed a company from the game server and the Company list does show up again. Hopefully the game will resume normally from now on.

Please refer to the TOC game message board for more information.

On the Average 1 IC 1970 scenario, all the electrified 3rd rail routes in the South East have a maximum length of 210ft for all passenger trains. This seems ridiculously short given that a single 4VEP is 263ft, so there is no 3rd rail stock which can run on these routes.

I highlighted this on the TOC Game forum, it is a known problem.

Yes and I still have no clue on how to transfer the original scenario data into the database.
email it to me, I can import it for you

Alternatively
Update the support ticket with the database access details and I will perform this directly

It's certainly less than stable. My company has been stuck in a game that finished ages ago for the past month or so!

Hopefully the bugs will be ironed out at some point.

I'm the same as thefab444. I have no idea what on earth's going on with it, so I've just given up for now. It's a shame; it was an excellent game. But if it's not going to be properly maintained, then what can you do?

I suspect the game is dead as the forum set up for it is also not available anymore and the admin had not visited it for some time before hand, even the twitter page set up had nothing on it last I heard.
