### 5/5 — Quelques petits problèmes de pub

*2026-06-18*

Je suis sur iPhone et je joue sur mon téléphone, et depuis quelque temps, il est impossible de regarder les publicités, ce qui est problématique puisque je n’ai pas pu avoir la loco bonus polux que l’on a uniquement lors des publicités bref si vous pouviez faire quelque chose serait vraiment bien. Sinon je joue à ce jeu depuis plusieurs années et j’adore

### 3/5 — Grande, pequeno detalhe.

*2026-04-21*

Se integração fosse obrigatório o jogo teria o dobro de jogadores, o jogador comum é brutalmente penalizado pelos jogadores que n fazem integração.

**Developer response:** Obrigado pela sua sugestão! Valorizamos muito o seu feedback e vamos compartilhá-lo com a equipe para avaliação.

### 3/5 — Убили игру

*2025-11-08, version 2025.6.1*

Игра лагает. Много достиг в игре но все пропало. Пробовал с начала , то же самое. Зарегистрироваться не получается.Через учетную запись на ай фоне открывается только пол экрана. Раньше игра работала хорошо. Другие игры летают а эта глючит не предназначена для планшетов.

### 3/5 — Вылетает при перестановке маршрута

*2025-11-05, version 2025.6.0*

Игра стала вылетать при попытке поставить новый маршрут. Перезагрузка не помогает.

### 2/5 — 13 pro max

*2025-11-03, version 2025.6.0*

Вылеты не починили с 2023 года. С телефона играть не возможно

### 1/5 — Плохо

*2025-10-29, version 2025.5.2*

Начал играть с компа вчера, сегодня тупо грузиться не заходит, скачал на айфон, зашел поиграл, через пару часов решил зайти снова, но меня выкинуло с аккаунта, игра не доработанная. Разработчики, вам одна звезда, лентяи-аферисты надоели

### 2/5 — Проблема с заходом

*2025-08-15, version 2025.4.3*

Проблема с входом - приложение работает только с вайфая, с моб. интернета не загружается. Из-за этого доиграв последний раунд хочется бросить игру. Исправьте, пожалуйста!

### 1/5 — Problemas

*2025-07-22*

Péssimo! Jogo entra quando quer, fica horas na tela inicial, não tem opção de linguagem dentro do jogo. Os desenvolvedores deveriam ter vergonha de lançar um jogo desses.

**Developer response:** Desculpe pelo inconveniente!  Sinta-se à vontade para nos contatar em https://support.rail-nation.com/ para identificar o problema e ajudarmos diretamente. Obrigado pela sua paciência!

### 1/5 — Ужасное приложение
