    If only it were true, TSW3 worked a lot better than TSW5 or 6.

    Plus the resolution on the load screens is all over the place.

    Sometimes the text is massive and the image is blurry, sometimes the text is tiny and the image is sharp as.

    Same as when you mess around with resolution on a computer monitor outside the recommended.

    with how they're going I don't think they need an insider to sabotage, they could quite easily do that themselves

    Didn't they once have a screen with a 4/5/6/7 slapped over the top of the previous yearly release number?

    Dovetail games? More like Trotters independent games.

    Just got the TSW 2 loading screen on Xbox. Honestly I don’t mind it. Like the throwback.

    I also got some odd loading screens, and yes, the resolution really is all over the place too.
    While loading a Ruhr-Sieg-Nord service I got the Ruhr-Sieg-Nord image as loading screen... thought to myself "Huh, that's a neat touch" :)
    Seems it was just a coincidence though.

    Ah the good old days playing Sand Patch Grade on PS4. It’s what got me hooked on TSW.

    It's a sure sign of a messy development culture. Why are they not removing these assets in each version? If anyone isn't yet clear about the fact it's the same game every year with a few extras that could have been patched in, here you go...

    This is a fine example of the current state of Train Sim World in my opinion.

    At least we're not yet at the stage where the game looks like this. Although even southern belle never suffered from blurry textures!

    It's what companies who do yearly releases do though.

    DTG far from alone.

    Because building a new game from the ground up every year isn't realistic. So you have new code stacked upon older and older code every year, lick of paint and out the door.

    And then things break and no one even knows who wrote the code from 5/6 years ago and so they stay broken!!

    I didn't say it wasn't normal for some game franchises to reuse code, but TSW is an example of the "new game" claim being a real stretch. But my main point is it's messy. To not even remove the old loading screen assets? Not typical for a good development team.

    I assume these screens are network hosted rather than within the game files as TSW2 hasn't had a patch in years but still shows the latest screenshot competition winners on loading screens, lately it's been showing "TSW6 coming soon, pre-order now".

    Someone probably accidentally copied a load of the old artwork into whatever folder contains the live loading screens and the game just grabbed them to show.

    I totally agree and a big reason why companies chasing the yearly release is not good for us gamers at all.

    But clearly their bottom lines say it is worth it!!

    Good morning folks,

    The current loading screens you are seeing are fallback images that display when there are connectivity issues with the servers hosting the live loading screens. It appears that there’s a communication problem between the games and these servers, causing the older loading screens to be shown instead.

    As Jamie has mentioned, we are actively investigating this issue and will provide an update as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your patience.

    All the best,
    Jan
