    We £60 pre order plus early access and DTG can't even get it right. Xbox terrible experience its a strobe light show. Half the content is missing job count is way lower then it should be. And no update as yet DTG [EDIT - Jan - Language] and sort it. Thats not too much to ask now is it.

    We are very sorry to hear about your first experience with TSW 6. Unfortunately, these issues are due to preloading old files. Please close the game and check for updates.

    Anyone on Xbox getting this flicker. Woe it kinda annoying on early release. Kinda hard to operate the train. I do wonder if they can fix this right away for Xbox. Gz this is promising. Well what do you say. Can it be done now. Oh sorry this is in Nahverkehr Dresden. Well update this is doing this to all the route. I check a few min ago. All the route on Xbox.

    I took a 176 MB update this morning after launch. After this update I am still missing trains on Morristown line. Plus every single route suffers from black flickering to the point where it's hard to look at. Series X.

    If you are having issues with textures or routes and locos not showing up, try restarting your console.

    This is an old build due to preloading. Please close the game and check for updates.

    Why does Xbox end up with old build issues every single time?

    Sorry, could you please be a bit more respectful? Also, that title really isn’t necessary. If you're expecting help, at the very least mention which platform you're experiencing the issue on. That would be helpful for DTG so that they can advise what to do!

    Thats very simple they need to upload a build 2 weeks for release and thats always an older build with issues so thats not a fault by DTG but a requierment by XBOX, Steam or PS

    Sorry that was not very clear! But why so angry? Its not fair to do. And for the next time you can add a tag when you create a topic. Its Yellow for Steam Green for XBOX and blue for PS if i'm right.

    Thats not by DTG but the stores needed a build very early so that XBOX and all other stores can check if the game is good enough and they check legal requierments so this build is always older than what you have with release :)

    Shame when you pay 60 quid for early access of a game in an unplayable state

    Keep buying Early Access (even if it's just 5 days early). We, the standard edition buyers, are very grateful to you for alpha testing this uh... product.

    Dont 't ask what the certification team does in those 2 weeks, because if they didnt notice this they for sure wont notice any other problem.

    Thats absolute true! If you don't like this you can easly avoid this whole circus and download the game when its official release. I have no problem with this issues but the most are so childish and have no kind of respect and spamming over and over.

    Think people have a right to be angry, especially if they have paid £100 for Special Edition. No excuse for rudeness, but it is pretty poor form when you have spent that kind of money IMO.

    Hi all, rest assured the issue will be fixed by the next update, which is on its way to players now. This will require all players to update the base game, plus all their add-ons, to version 1.1.1026. You can find this information by Navigating to My Games & Apps > Train Sim World 6 > Manage on Internal storage. Then base game version will be visible at the top and the add-on version can be seen by highlighting it and pressing the X button to view File info."

    You whine about spamming yet do it yourself.

    People are right to be angry for receiving an inferior/wrong product. If the game isn't ready two weeks prior to release then it means the game development has been rushed.
    All people want to do is drive trains. Having to jump through the hoops of downloading not just a new game, but all their old content again grates. When obstacles are put in their way, such as this, then of course they'll get angry.

    Yes it may not be DTGS fault a build has to be uploaded 2 weeks prior, but it's DTGS fault this all has to be done in the first place, just for marketing reasons, to get the game showing in the new release lists.

    I assume you're referring to the XBOX version?

    Just uninstalled and reinstalled; version number is showing as 1.1.1012 so presumably the patch hasn't been pushed out yet.

    I was informed by Matt that the base build number was 1012, for Xbox?

    That's the second time you've said that. We're not beta testers lmao we're trying to help the community. Some of us like playing the game and will continue to do so. Some of you come onto the fourms around this time every year and make the same comments that add nothing and hog up space on the board.

    Should DTG get their releases tided up? Yes. Should we make digs at the community for reporting a problem? No. Remember what we were taught as children? "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

    Sorry but i try to help! If you combine this post with earlier ones you can see that i have shared more relevant information and no its not perfect but again if you did not like this whole proces or did not have any time to wait then its better to wait until 30-9 then you can avoid this whole problem. And no thats not nice to hear but its true in fact.

    It's a public forum, I can say what I please as long as its within the guidelines.
    Also, ive been on here since TSW2 days, ive seem DTG do better in the past, but seems they get worse every year.

    Regards

    Maybe for future releases they should aim to have it finished by this 2 week window with only minor bug fixes if necessary? Would save having this problem over and over again.
