ATS Launcher updated to Final Build V2.2.2
5th December 2024HI Guys
We have some important news to share about one of our long-standing projects. For the past two years, our team has been dedicated to developing and improving the ATS Launcher, an installer designed to streamline the installation of our products. While the Launcher has been publicly available for some time and has seen many improvements, we have decided that it is time to phase it out.
The Launcher has been a technically ambitious project, much like the advanced Passenger Train project. Despite its potential, managing it has been challenging. Early versions faced reliability issues, though later updates have significantly improved its performance. Feedback has been mixed, with some users loving the convenience it offers, while others have found it less favorable.
Personally, I have been a huge fan of the Launcher and cannot express enough gratitude to Kieran for transforming our ideas into a functional and usable product. As Kieran moves on to new opportunities, Pete and I have decided that this is the right moment to transition to a more conventional installation process.
So, what’s the plan going forward? We have fixed the missing download button, so all of your products should now be available. If you encounter any issues, please let us know. You can download the latest version of the Launcher from our website using this link

We recommend a clean install of this version, so please delete the previous version before reinstalling. You can do this via the Add/Remove Programs feature in Windows. This is necessary because the auto-update feature has been disabled as we wind down the Launcher. We appreciate that this might be a bit of a hassle, but it’s a means to an end and will hopefully lead to a better customer experience for you all.
In the coming weeks, we will provide more details about these new installers. We believe this change will simplify the installation process for everyone.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Cheers
Alan
Have installed this. Once opened and logged in just sits there saying “waiting for path” should nothing in my products section. cant click on anything or change settings.
Hi i have installed the launcher and purchased the ohle pack with a view to installing the wcml but there is no install button on the ohle and no way of finding where the wcml is. I have run as administrator and cleared the cache several times,
Hi. Is chat monitored? I have purchased products that I want to install but I get no install button. I have seen notes about this issue before but I can´t see anything about how it was resolved. What do I need to do?
Impossible to download ATS Launcher , It just keeps going around in circles with nowhere to actually download .
have downloaded this numerous times and installed. no matter how or where i install it, whenever i try opening it , it opens my railworks folder
Can you please provide a working link for this??? I’ve paid money for products I can no longer access.
The link above *does* work – if you remove the full-stop at the end – or copy/paste this

Anyway ATS – when are you going to provide us with direct downloads to installers (that can be stored locally) for the products that we have bought? I want offline copies of my software that I can reinstall as and when I need to – I’ve paid for them – so sort it out.
To my knowledge ATS has never provided offline installers, all installers new and old require an Internet connection there’s no plans to change that from what’s already been said
Even if the installers have to “phone home”, I still want installers that I can archive. This is not an unreasonable request, given that I have legitimately purchased the software.
Download link is broken
The ‘new’ launcher is telling me I can uninstall the Plesser & Theurer tamper (as I’m going through the painful process of reinstalling TSClassic). However, although I can keep clicking the Uninstall button, it doesn’t replace it with an Install option (all the others which I have purchased work fine through the downloader). Any ideas anyone? Logging out then back in again, clearing the cache and sundry other clean-up options does not replace the uninstall button with the install one. Also, can you download that package (Plesser & Theurer) independent of the installer and install as a ‘regular’ DLC/add-on?
Yup, same problem here, this launcher is utterly broken.
No DOWNLOAD button??? Impossible to download!!!
Hello
Where is there no download button?
Wow – common sense prevails at last and the “Launcher” is history.
Silly Question: why does the link download version 1.5.6 when you are talking about Version 2.2.2!!??
I wondered the same.
It’s version 1.5.6 of the installer which then when run installs version 2.2.2 of the launcher.
Hello
This is because the installer was labelled that version unfortunatly however it does install V2.2.2 but this is the last update for Launcher so will remain like this for now.
