differences are well known but one common thing not many knows is: none of them should use 4k (hd for s, and 1440p for x are only performance setup - higher res is slidedhow)
I mean is there a difference performance like memory, ram and other things like that. I have an Xbox x. Just wondering how they stack up against eachother.
There is no 1440P option in game, only HD or 4K. TSW2 routes and older do run fine on 4K on Series S. I do have a VRR monitor with LFC, so I only notice it when FPS drops to low. Routes from TSW3 and newer are stuttery on 4K.
CPU is almost the same, Series S has only 10GB RAM and the GPU is weaker. So yes, Series X has more performance.
1440P and a better quality HD are welcome. HD mode doesn't look like 1080P, AA is bad and it's like details are missing.
DTG Matt Hi just a out of memory crash on the loading screen. Whilst trying to get in frankfurt s bahn route.
Do you use quick resume or do you close the game fully after playing? There are multiple games having issues with quick resume, so I always fully close the game. To close, press Xbox home button short > select TSW5 in the menu > press hamburger button > select the option for closing the game and confirm.
That sounds like something that someone who always quick resumes and never closes the game fully might say
Been playing a lot of WCMLS recently and the performance levels have drastically improved. The only spot where performance drops is the approach to Bletchley from London. Strangely enough though it’s fine if you come from Milton Keynes direction.
DTG Matt I'm lucky if I can even boot the game up with every single piece of DLC installed. When successful it takes well in excess of 5 minutes, but 9 times out of 10 it just results in a crash to dashboard during the loading screen. I'm doing a fresh install to a clean SSD overnight to see if that changes anything, will report back in the morning.
That's odd. I have literally every piece of DLC in the catalogue and it's never failed to load for me. Let me know how you get on with reinstall. Which platform? Must admit my PS5 is lacking some content - but my Series S and X have everything. Matt.
Hi Matt, There has been an ongoing crash on Xbox Series X when opening the map in free roam while adding a player controlled service. The map will freeze and all controls lock up. After a while of being frozen, it’ll kick you out of the game completely. However, one fix seems to be button mashing until the map closes. I’ve noticed it most on San Bernardino-LA as that is the route I play the most but it has happened on others such as Horseshoe Curve and Sherman Hill. This also only seems to happen when using passenger equipment (full passenger train sets or passenger designated engines with freight cars)
Have had this issue in very intense areas. E.g. I had a crash with the live map in Frankfurt hbf and have had it freeze in Doncaster Hitachi depot
I have had the map freeze on numerous occasions. Usually toggling the legend on and off normally unfreezes the map. Very occasionally it has crashed to desktop
Loaded up Manchester Airport with all the layers on. Jumped into Piccadilly on foot at 8:25am had a wander around and after about 10-15 mins the game crashed to dashboard.
Just ran 1V37, ended up with some blurry textures after stopping. Completed and entered free roam. Spawned a train and drove to machester airport. Got out and game crashed to dashboard
After 2 updates that came, i jumped onto the game to see if any change to wcml south. Just done service 2c17, 9:28 on class 710 from watford junction to euston. OMG, i had blurry textures the whole service and very laggy, the sounds are more crackly than previous also. Seems to be going backwards still rather than better. All layers, dynamic weather and 4k rez. Disappointed.
Hi DTG Matt Since the latest updates, still had a couple video memory errors. The first video memory error occurred after I exited photo mode while playing Frankfurt-Fulda. Meanwhile, another video memory error occurred in the photo gallery in the TSW 5 menu when trying to publish a railfan pic. Elsewhere, but not related to the above, but what is the current progress regarding blurred textures on console? Many routes are still suffering from this and thus it can be really frustrating and hard to enjoy this game at times. Playing on Series X. Thanks.
Last time I had a crash on series x was on Brighton mainline. Haven't had any/many crashes on other routes. Mostly just a bit of stuttering. Will get back to you on that though.
Main issue I've noticed is from quick resume and then selecting return to main menu, it will frequently just sit there for a minute and then CTD or whatever the equivalent term is for XSX.
Just had a crash to desktop on the new koln aachen timetable. Driving Ice 315 from koln to aachen. Crashed about 4km from aachen. Dynamic weather and all layers enabled on series x
Are you going to one for the PS5 as i have picked up some issues on WCML-S with the 378 electro star the carriages are not properly joined together & on MAC (Manchester Airport commuter ) power cables seem to be inserted in the Ground at Ardwick Depot just drove into one with a BR-Class 350
Today I had a crash again on Koln - Aachen (revamped timetable) on Series S. I was doing a longer S-bahn drive then normal, from Koln to Duren. Almost near the end it crashed, I stopped at a station, stand up from the chair, moving the camera was not working anymore, crash to dashboard. I have not that many layers active, only MSB, HRR + BR101, LGV and New journeys. The crashes on this route appeared about 3 patches back, before I hadn't any crash with the revamped timetable.
