Hi all!

So that being said, any projection for when the final version will be available?

Hello Forum Friends

I have tried many time to upgrade my CS2 yesterday late (starting at 11 PM CET) and I had either Update successful or not.
Rebooted many times in-between to see what kind of version was loaded: always 2.0.1.

So it is only my opinion (I didn't talk to a Märklin specialist): they have rolled back to 2.0.1 because it was not the good file to broadcast .

There are 2 possibilities:
- either the good file is ready and will be distribued momentarily, or
- they goofed on the server commands instead of distributing to restricted users for them to test the Beta version, they distributed to everyone-for a while until they realized it (Yesterday 28/11 very late in the afternoon say 7 or 8 PM Central European Time.

It does not mean that the version you have is not good: they are not completely sure & its not the good one.

Cheers from Paris

I am in shock.

I just went to the CS 2 and switched the unit on waited for it to boot up and I get the TFP message this time asking I want to update from 2.0 to 2.10 I pressed the green tick and the bar code moved across the screen and the it asked a second time I did the same and now all seams well. I have to say I do not like the blue speed dials. So now I have H W 5.1 and SW 2.1.7

Hi Charles!

If I were you as soon as the new update is available, I would update my CS2 with the 2.2.0. I think that is practically confirmed that the 2.1.7 is a beta and like any betas, it could have bugs still lurking on the software. I say this because of your recent experiences.

Regards

Miguel

Is this an assumption from your part or did you receive an 'official statement' about this.

I personally think that Marklin indeed accidently released a beta version on their servers because of the blue tacho on the control screen.
This colour has been mentioned a few times on the stummi forum being a developer version.

Fortunately the upgrade worked flawlessy, including the upgrade of the TFP in my 60214 hw version 3.1 and my 60174 booster.

Untill now no problems while running my CS2.
I noticed there are some new function icons already availble as mentioned on the version 2.2.0 release notes.
Also the sensitivity of the layout screen has been reduced as i can now hit a switch or signal on this screen
without the nervous scrolling around of the layout screen.

If you plug in a USB stick with at least 1GB in size and hit the soundfiles update button on the setup screen
the CS2 starts downloading all the files needed for the new sound programming tool.
Also downloaded are all the sound and firmware files you already could download from their internet pages,
so you don't have to transport them to your CS2 with a USB stick anymore.
Be warned as it took a few hours before the download was complete.

On the USB stick is a Windows installer downloaded for the new sound programming tool.
In the manual of the tool there are several 'beta' notices indicating an early release.
After installing I played a little with the program and it seems you can do a lot with sounds and decoder settings.
But I need to get some time to study the manual as all looks very complex to a first time user.



I have installed the downloaded Loksound programmer software in my PC. I think this software is for the new Marklin lokprogrammer because it ask for a com port to connect. I thought it could be used to program decoders with the CS2, using the LAN connetion between it and the PC as our Central Station was a lokprogrammer but, finally, I think it is only for the lokprogrammer.

I have used my CS2 with sw 2.1.7 and TFP 2.1 several hours and still it works without problems. If it is a BETA it could be close to the final version

hello everyone

i have a marklin 60213 central station and its not been updated for about 2 years. however it runs just fine. i dont understand computers at all or how they work and the last update was done for me by a friend who connected it to the wireless router at home and updated it for me.

iv been reading this thread and the only bit i can understand is that with this update the speed controls turn blue.

the colour blue especially on screens, displays and a pale blue - not rich deep dark blue for some reason can instigate headaches for me. - this is the worst colour i could have on a screen and so im thinking that i cannot perform this upgrade.

is it necessary? can i continue to use my central station just as it is?

i dont understand what beta is ( the only thing i know of beta is the old video recorder lol )

so would it be ok to just run my central station the way it is now as it runs fine.

these modern control systems are a bit of a headache for those of us not really into or understanding computers!

Hi!

"Beta" means "under development". The blue controls indicate it was a beta version.

If you'd do the update now, you'd get 2.0.1 with grey speedometers. That's a stable version.

thankyou for your kind response - i think i ill just use my central station as it is. im afraid to connect it to the internet in case something goes wrong and im not able to make it work again, because it works fine just the way it is at the moment.

i like the green speedometers anyways - they are calm on my eyes! -)

Hello Forum Friends
I am afraid it is confirmed: on a German forum (Stummi) one of the users having previously downloaded 2.1.7 and used it, did one update too many and reverted to 2.0.1.

Hi,

And yes also on the stummi forum people report a roll back from 2.1.7 to 2.0.1 after doing an update again.
It is said that the 2.1.7 (or 2.2.0) release is now in the Quality Review department and should be officially released in the beginning of 2013.

So I just will wait with hitting the update button again untill someone other is reporting the final release.
Hopefully this weekend I have time to test the new second S88 feedback that now can be allocated to a route.
So if all works well I don't need to keep my old trusted memory device used in interlocking mode to control my shadow stations.
Regards,
Jos

Hi all!

Well this kind of screw up by M* is potential hazardous. If a more unstable beta was published, it could have the potential to make serious damage Bored (at a software level) on the CS2's that made the update. Let's hope they have learned the lesson!

thanks for your question.

We had inadvertently released a beta test version on the server. Sorry about this. LOL

Trouble is, I don't think it is the first time the Dummkofps have done this!

I haven't had any issues with 2.1.7 as yet, so will leave it as it is. I always thought Marklin had said, 'never downgrade your CS2 software version', and yet here were are...........LOL

You don't have to connect it to the Internet. Take a USB memory stick, download the update from the Märklin site (the mature 2.0.1 that was around for months) and you can be sure you won't get an untested beta version. And don't forget to backup your CS2 data before doing the update.

The risk of such a USB update is minimal, but it's safer to leave it as it as.

Tom

Hello,

Today I discovered that besides the Windows version of the sound programmer tool (mDecoder Tool) there is also one for the CS2 itself.
If you have downloaded all the sound files to the plugged in USB stick as I previously described you can go to the firmware update screen for the new separate available mLD mSD decoders.
(I have one of these installed) and on this screen there is a 'SND' button. If you hit this button you need to confirm that you want to shut down the 'CS2 App' and start the sound programming tool.
After a short time the sound programming tool opens on your CS2 screen.

But....as with the Windows version it's complex to use without a proper manual. So I hope Märklin will describe it properly once the 2.1.7. or 2.2.0 CS2 firmware is officially released.
Regards,
Jos

There is a pdf manual downloaded with the sound files update, but it is German and appears to be focusing more on the msD decoders and the msM sound module. It's not a large file, so I've attached it to this post.

Hi all,

As this topic is quite, it seems that the ones that are using the beta version are not having problems with it.
This gives us good expectation for the production release that Märklin will produce.

hello everyone again.

im not a regular user of this forum as i only have a central station but i use to run my n-gauge layout and i dont have any marklin trains at this time ( although i am very much wanting a krokodil in green just to keep in its box as a momento kind of thing ).

my central station i have switched on tonight and looking at the version screen i have found it is :-

central station 60213

software version 1.4.0 (1)

hardware version 3.4


it runs fine and everything works well, driving my trains and switching my points and signals.

is it necessary to update it because i like the green speed dials and i dont want to lose that.

many thanks for any help.

Hi,

I think if you can upgrade to the current version 2.0.1 without any problems. I think most of us are running it and got it by upgrading.

Sometimes an upgrade is just to add more functionality and not to correct problems, although usually it does both.

I usually wait 2 or 3 weeks after some new release is made available before upgrading. It allows for some eventual serious problem that the release has to be detected and possibly corrected. 2.0.1 is available for some time and you should have not special problems.


Best regards,
Miguel

Well, they brought out a newer version didn't they?.....................and now that one is broke!

The release notes for new versions normally have a list of bugs in the previous version that they fixed.

v2.0.1 doesn't have a green screen! It's about time you upgraded, as there have been 2 more updates since v1.4.0 (v1.6.4 and v2.0.1), which most certainly have bugs in them (read the release notes for newer versions to find out what they are). Plus there will be new features that you don't have.

You may find it hard to get support from Marklin if you do end up finding a software problem (using S88's was a problem in version 1.4.0), the first thing Marklin will do is tell you to do is to upgrade. Plus, the longer you leave it, the harder it might be to upgrade as sometimes new software versions require you to be at a certain (previous) version to be able to upgrade. If you leave it too long, that might become a problem.

Lastly, if you ever try to sell your CS2, buyers will want it to be at the latest software version. You might find it harder to sell and get less for it if your CS2 runs an old software version.

However, it is your choice as to what you do with your stuff, and if you are happy with it you don't have to update it if you don't want to. Just keep the above points in mind.

Good job M!!!!Angry

Reason I said this(I'll leave mother alone for now,...)

I have a NCE Power Cab(early version),just came out with an upgrade,yet when I asked the Yahoo group if I should upgrade when every decoder I have run on it(Bachmann to Zimo,and sound) runs fine,the upgrade is not needed at this time,...

With new software versions, Märklin, ESU, and others normally publish a list of new features and fixed bugs.
ESU had an update that only introduced support for wireless controllers - no need to upgrade if you don't have those.

Or generally: no need to update if you don't need any of the new features and do not suffer from bugs that were fixed.

Version 2.2 will reduce the loco selection screen to 25 locos (from 30 locos with 2.0 and earlier). Maybe they needed space to make the screen more useful (filter, function keys, whatever).
The reduction could be a reason for some not to do the update. Time will tell.

Tom

Hello!

Have had in 2.1.7 (3) and have not noticed any problems with CS 2. Second however, in connection with TC, so the blocks wrong, they blinked and did not work as they should. It corrected itself in the return to 2.0.1 (0).
Central Station 60214, 60215, Booster 60174, TrainController 8.0 Guld, m / rail slightly off c-rails, Marklin from the 50's and 60's. Tried to create Marklin-story combined with Swedish locomotives and wagons from 1900 to the present.

Put the memory stick into the USB port on your CS2, and run an update (select USB stick) (disconnect your CS2's ethernet cable/wireless connection before you do this, so that the CS2 is not connected to the internet). The update will load the icon files into your CS2.


Hi Dave,

I thought I followed your instructions correctly, however, I cannot load the png files into my CS2.

I unzipped the file and put all the png files into a folder called "icons" on a usb stick - nothing else on the stick. Disconnected the CS2 from the internet - placed the usb stick into the CS2 - selected usb and then selected "update program". A lot happens on the scene showing as if data is being transferred, however, after about 2 minutes a message says that "update was NOT successful".

What am I doing wrong ?

Regards
Greg

Hmmmm, check the disk formatting on your USB stick - it should be FAT32 - NTFS will not work.

That's all I can think of, otherwise it should work.

To make sure the CS2 can write to the USB stick OK, try doing a backup to the USB stick.
