Bus Simulator 27 Hotfix 1.15 Fixes Steering Inputs and Traffic Stalls
Hotfix 1.15 for Bus Simulator 27 tackles stubborn steering input bugs, passenger spawn logic, and AI traffic jams. The update also resolves Xbox-specific texture issues and audio bugs.
Bus Simulator 27 has received Hotfix 1.15, bringing a wave of bug fixes aimed at steering peripheral reliability, AI traffic behavior, and specific UI problems.
Controls and User Interface
Steering wheels no longer lose input while driving, and throttle cutouts caused by keyboard inputs overriding wheels are fixed. Force Feedback now correctly restarts after unpausing the game. Interaction tooltips for steering wheels remain visible, controller map zooming is improved, and the out-of-fuel message now responds properly to gamepads. Xbox UI safe-zone handling, along with the Bus Details and Management screens, also receive fixes.
AI Traffic and Gameplay
The update resolves incorrect turn-indicator penalties, including false penalties triggered when approaching bus stops. Problematic junctions in Station District, Iron District, Villa Urbana, and High Coast receive collision prediction and handling improvements to reduce AI vehicle pileups. Extra-trip buses now correctly disappear upon returning to the depot, and passenger demand no longer causes empty bus stops and buses simultaneously.
Stability and Multiplayer
A crash tied to crowd characters that also produced floating hair is fixed, alongside an issue causing certain savegames to take an extremely long time to load. AI buses no longer get stuck between trips at specific stops. In multiplayer, speed limits now update correctly for clients, and clients can finally control heating and air conditioning.
Vehicles, Audio, and Visuals
Various vehicle model errors across multiple buses are repaired alongside dashboard lighting and texture bugs. Xbox players will no longer encounter blurry or corrupted dashboard textures. Passengers no longer clip through bus roofs. Audio-wise, the Solaris rattling sound is updated based on a licensor request, and single-player bus stop announcements can no longer be heard from outside the vehicle.
Why this patch matters
Hotfix 1.15 addresses frustrating hardware and navigation bugs, making peripheral support and city traffic behave much more reliably.
