BVE Multiplayer Testing Resumes 05/2026

You heard the news! Starting May 1 2026, OBND will resume multiplayer testing.


The testing phase of multiplayer is ment to identify bugs, game performance and evaluate new features, which will help ensure that when multiplayer is finally released to the public, there will be little to no issues. Multiplayer was updated to verison 1.12.1.0. While we are currently unaware of any hidden issues the 1.12.1.0 build may contain we will be focusing on documenting these errors to be corrected. 

As testing continues, our development team is actively working on migrating the features we had in version 1.4.3 into 1.12. Below are some of the features currently being restored:

1. ESC menus inaccessible while trains are moving
2. Signal emergency stops
3. Player jump request

Some new features we plan to implement 

1) New Dispatchers Board 
2) Route Information Box upgrades 
3) Chat System / Server Terminal Window 

Testing will take place on weekends, beginning Friday nights and continuing through Sunday nights. Specific dates and times will be announced in our Discord server. We would also like to remind everyone that cooperation is necessary to help prevent issues during installation.

We are very excited to see the completion of this project approaching and hope everything goes according to plan. Once the program is released, we fully intend to continue maintaining and improving it. Our long-term future goals will be shared shortly after the official release of this project.
