3. Crashes

Laptops: Game may runs on Integrated GPU (Graphics card)

Solution: Check the GPU info in the main menu in the left bottom corner. If there is stated integrated GPU, like intel HD and in your PC is present is also gaming GPU (like NVidia 950M), follow steps on this link and force driver to run on high performance GPU instead integrated, set for both SOVIET.exe and SOVIET64.exe.

Not enough Video RAM available, may crash when saving or when building/deleting something, may generate corrupted saves, - if you check log.html, there is CreateTexture2D FAILED red text

Solution: play 64 bit version of game or close Fraps and similar screen capturing software, Ensure you are not playing on integrated GPU (see above)

4. Other technical problems

Window is zoomed in / I can reach the edges with the mouse cursor

Check this guide about windows DPI and how to set exception for the game

5. Gameplay problems

How the railway semaphores/signals work?

Visit this guide about railway semaphores and signals

No power buildings, or wiring, gas stations or schools available to build

You need when starting a new game, specify what you would like to solve/enable (Energy management, Education simulation)

Factory or rail construction office not works, or vehicle not unload resources there

Your storage is probably overfilled, when you can store more resources in the warehouse or storage - the maximum amount near resources show you how much you can store there if storage would be filled completely with this single resource, but you can have half of storage filled with one resources and another half with another resource and you will not get rest of place for the 3rd resource

My production chain not working - resources not pushed through the factory connections, conveyors or pipelines

Note: storages/warehouses are passive building, they can't push or take resources. For conveyors or pipelines you can place conveyor engines or pipe pumping station in-between storages (or other buildings) in order to get out resources from building A and push them into building B. For factory connection unfortunately there is no such functionality, we plan add a special functionality with forklift into warehouses, so they will able to transport resources this way

So this setup will currently not works ( <> - is the factory connection):

Factory A <> Storage A <> Storage B <> Factory B

(Factory A will push the resources to Storage A, but it will not push further to storage B, Factory B can take resources from Storage B, but it will be empty)

This setup will work:

Factory A <> Storage <> Factory B

(Factory A will push the resources to Storage, Factory B can take resources from Storage B, but it will be empty)

Also if the vehicle come to station or building, it can also take resources from neighbor buildings:

Factory A <> Cargo Station <> Factory B <> Factory C

When any vehicle come to load/unload resources in the Cargo Station it can load/unload also into/from Factory A or Factory B, but not into/from Factory C
