    At various points along the Riviera Line, the sea textures disappear as the train goes past.

    The first instance is on the approach into Dawlish Warren from Starcross. As you head towards the station, the water texture on the left disappears and shows a sand texture.

    The second instance is on the section between Dawlish and Teignmouth, specifically on the approach to this tunnel from Dawlish. Aug25RM-Riviera-150-WM-01.jpg Looking towards the sea, the water texture disappears at a specific point. 20250925_211857.jpg

    The final place I've noticed this issue (so far) is in between Torquay and Paignton. On the section where the sea is visible from the tracks, the sea texture disappears at a certain point and then reappears a bit further down the line.

    This seems to be an issue affecting Xbox Series X, as I haven't witnessed this happen when players have uploaded photos/videos of the route on PC/PS5.

    I believe Xbox series x is still using gen 8 rendering for some reason which probably explains this. It’s the same issue that meant the mountains around Innsbruck weren’t appearing until TSG fixed it

    This is a problem for the PS4 Pro too.

    Ah ok. I sent a bug report for it yesterday, so hopefully it'll be addressed. Too big of an issue to ignore, really :D

    Hi there,

    I know there's been some bug reports raised for this anyway, but just wanted to let you know we'll be looking into this issue. More out of curiosity than anything else, does this happen with layers turned off?

    Thanks for replying :)

    Yes, the bug happens with layers on or off on Xbox Series X.

    I've tested it on the Xbox for PC version, and I cannot replicate the bug. Based on the previous comments, it seems to be an issue affecting all Xbox consoles and PS4.

    AFAIK There are no layers available for Xbox (or Playstation) yet. I have noticed this problem and I just have the base routes installed.
    As an aside, this probably isn't a bug as such but the water on the rivers looks weird. I think it is using the same water as on the sea but it looks like there are waves on the rivers. Although it is tidal, you don't get waves like this on the rivers.

    I went into autopilot with that! Either way, we'll update when we have an update!
