Anyone else having issues with the temperature challenge? I drove a few services within the range and they didn't register.
The only thing I've had issues not registering is guard mode, but every previous time I've had something not count up it's still done it in the background and caught up with itself (or said that I've completed the monthly mastery even if the bar isn't full), so hopefully that is happening here. Having said that, I don't think those guard modes counted for temperature either, but previously when it's asked to complete timetables under certain conditions, guard timetables haven't counted, so that doesn't bother me that much
Well I demolished the Conductor ones, as suggested by doing a Cardiff to Cogan run on CCN, saving before the buzzer at the last stop and just reloading 9 more times. So that out the way can concentrate on the fun part, going through outstanding Journey runs on my various routes and finding timetables where the temperature is 10 to 25C, not particularly hard.
Im Zeitplan kann man zumindest bei der Steam-Version die Temperatur durch Einstellen des Datums ändern. In the schedule, at least in the Steam version, you can change the temperature by setting the date.
The counter for the temperature challenge was broken, today it suddenly kicked back in. Had already completed 10 services. Now all that's left is 400 km to drive.
I had an odd one too (ticket sent to support). I completed a run from Preston to Carlisle which I started on Tuesday and finished yesterday evening, but it only credited the 12 or so miles I drove yesterday. The bits I did on Tuesday and Wednesday did not show up (should have been over 90 miles in total) and are also missing from the logbook. Only thing I can think of, is in the meantime on Wednesday and Thursday I did a couple of short runs on my PS5 version of the game (same Live account) and that has somehow kicked out progress on the PC. Hopefully DTG can sort it as 80+ miles is a significant chunk to do again!
Trouble is, it can get a bit grindy and you end up actually resenting playing the game. I normally like to divide my gaming time around two or three titles but pursuing the mastery means my poor old crops in FS25 are getting neglected, the industry spurs in Run 8 are blowing tumbleweeds and my driver has frozen to death out on the ice in Snowrunner!
This time round i done 10 separate conductor jobs on different routes some where boring some where quite fast paced. Next time I will use the save method and cheat.
As long as you save and quit to the main menu, it should count the distance up until that point. I finished off the 400 miles last night, Mastery complete nice and early for a change!
The problem is that the conductor mechanic is quite buggy. Several of my conductor services did not actually end at the end and a few others could not be started. Combine that with some Dovetail Live problems and it was a nightmare. Probably did around 20 to have 10 counted properly. Of course DTG could have chosen something else for this mastery, but they love to shoot themselves in their foot hilighting what is broken just before releasing TSW6.
Definitely something odd totting up the mileage. Just finished a run on Semmering which should have added @70 km, but only seems to have advanced by about 20km, which is what I did loading in from my last save and finishing the run.
Ideally it would have already counted the intial 50km when you hit save, but it makes sense not to count previous distance from a save file, as it would mean you could cheat your way through this challenge as well as all the others.
It’s never been an issue in the past and there’s no way I would get time to do a 90 minute run in one session. Guess I’ll have to wait and see what Support have to say about it and in the meantime back to good old LGV Med or HRR to rack up the mileage in 30 minute bites.
Anyhow, completed and in only 10 days this time. Probably my swansong in TSW5 too as just over two weeks until we get our paws on TSW6 so time to say farewell to the rocky road that was 5. Do some farming, do some Zusi, maybe some Snowrunner and wait for 6 to land.
btw a tip with the conductor thing when youre very close to completing the conductor service make a save game of that and then keep redoing that save game untill you get the 10 conductor challenges done
