    NealTV8 has video guides for the collectibles on the new routes.

    Video cost too much money, and "training video" never shows what you need, better written document

    PS in Canada, we are charge per MB downloaded (video included)

    Is the tier 2 mastery reward a new thing? A poster?

    I have no idea how to create a new profile, and that would not work as it will need another email/login

    Beside I do not just want the collectible for the Mastery, I want them all, and I can not find 90% of them without those guides, and the guides by TSWMania are the best

    All profiles are linked to the same email login, just go to the profile screen, choose switch profile and create a new one.

    Although as you say the advice was more aimed at people who already have them all rather than those who can't find them, unfortunately as DTG can't be bothered adding trophies/achievements to routes anymore there is zero incentive for anyone to make guides to find them..

    Do what I do... wander around until I find something (I found most of the Riviera collectibles just by walking up and down the platforms at each station).

    Take the opportunity to explore the world and walk around until you find them

    Time for another Support ticket...

    My Level 2 was well underway with all five 100 MPH runs complete and good progress on the other objectives. Just went to check after finishing a run on South Devon and all reset to zero.

    Does nothing work in this wretched game?

    That usually happens when the game can't read the data from DTL.
    Did you try go back to the home screen and back to the mastery page? The game tries to reload the mastery progress data each time you do that.

    I’ll try that later. It wasn’t just the Tier 2 had reset to zero it was showing as Locked again even though Tier 1 complete!

    Yes it appears to have sorted itself out, but if they're going to have Mastery in the game it needs to work properly! :)

    The issue is checking immediately after a run. I find there's always a short delay between ending a run and DTL being updated from the game, and in that minute or two the Mastery in game often shows completed objectives as not done. It'll refresh soon enough.

    The problem here was not so much it hadn't updated but had reverted to show Tier 2 as being completely locked again even though I have made significant progress and Tier One was complete. It's sorted now but that could of course be because Support pushed it.

    Like I said, it can show already-completed objectives as not done. I've seen the same as you, whole swathes of completed tiers locked and zero progress. It updates and reverts the tiers to completed after a couple of minutes.

    Is the Tier 2 Monthly Mastery poster on by default, with no toggle?

    I can't see it in the Mastery Rewards/Posters for any of the regions, and this is after a reboot just to be sure.

    It is enabled by default, but it shows in the Posters section for UK, Germany and USA (The german poster is actually written in german) and you can toggle them on/off independently. Afaik, there is no NL version of it.

    richtayls So if you complete October mastery you get all those posters, including Wembley, Cardiff and Manchester?? Might be worth doing if so

    Gah, it flipped out again. Decided yesterday evening to fire up TSW6 and finish a run into Dresden on the Leipzig route. By my reckoning even before that, Tier 2 should have been finished but when I called up the Monthly Mastery it had reverted to Tier 2 being shown as completely locked despite, i. Tier One shown complete and ii. Tier 2 should have been finished on the mileage from a previous run.

    Going to see if it’s still erroneous this evening but in the meantime DTG-Chris there does seem to be an earwig or two shuffling around in the restructured Monthly Mastery to keep causing this.

    Edit: Just checked on the web based Mastery page from my iPad and after briefly showing locked, it suddenly opened up to show Tier 2 complete. So really not sure what’s going on here!

    The mileage one on Tier 2 is stuck on 0 for me, despite having done a few timetable runs since completing Tier 1. Ticket raised.

    Time to dust off this thread again…

    Any predictions then folks?

    Hopefully Alex/Jamie will have taken heed of the feedback and give a slightly meatier mileage objective in Tier 2.

    However got a horrid feeling walking and collectibles will feature big again for November.

    Almost a dead cert some of us will end up needing to ping Support when things don’t update or bug out! :)

    I expect a hefty XP and/or mileage target in tier 2. Hopefully no conductor mode :)

    Oh hell, aye, forgot about conductor mode. Though save spam on the Morecambe branch or Cardiff Bay is your friend there!

    A new candidate for this are the services between Dresden Flughafen and Dresden Hbf on Leipzig-Dresden (143 or Dosto). 7 minutes each.

    Well, the first tier should be completed today. Only 80km and 3 scenarios/services in the rain.

    Once again it looks to be bugged. Just did two quick runs and while the one I did with rain showed that that objective complete, the mileage is still parked at 0.

    Why on earth can't this be sorted? Why do we have this rigmarole every month?

    Going to exit and restart the game, see if that kicks things back into life.

    Edit: No joy doing that. Now done another quick ECS run in the rain which has ticked off the second wet objective but still no distance driven being recorded. I'm off to play something else, maybe it will sort itself out by Monday...

    Mine also gave me some trouble, but it did complete. Tier two is this: Screenshot_2025-11-01-21-20-31-20_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg
    Someone has been creative with the goals this month :)

    Hmm. Maybe when you set a path and then drive it (and stop on the target and it completes) ? For me it then registers points and mileage (for mastery).

    Let's be honest.

    Mastery is a total and utter mess.

    I am shown as tier 2 or even 3 for routes I don't actually own and have never played, but can't complete small mileage requirements for routes I play daily!!

    Doesn't really bother me that much though, not a feature I care for.

    I'm not sure whether it's DTG Alex or DTG Jamie who set up the Monthly Mastery, but for god's sake guys is it too much to ask that you get it working properly?

    I just loaded into the game and found the distance travelled on Tier One is still shown as zero, despite having submitted a support ticket yesterday evening. Previously Chris was on the case straight away but this time the request seems to have gone into the AI churn.

    There are problems with this every month. If you can't get it to work in a stable and reliable fashion, then why bother at all?

    Is it just me, or are you the only one having problems? For me, everything is counting more or less correctly, even as I'm finishing the second level.

    I understand that this doesn't work very well. But for me, it's counted fine, albeit not right away. Sometimes it takes a few tries for everything to display correctly.

    Sure, there are workarounds available and the goals do complete in the end. It just doesn't work as intended and it has been this way for a long time. Hence the annoyance of some users.

    As already noted, not just me. And this month it doesn’t even look like the issue is getting any urgency from Support. It has gone into the generic “churn” rather than previously Chris coming along and kicking the server. Just checked the web based DTL this morning and the mileage is still showing as zero despite having done another run early evening yesterday.

    Last month my ticket took a week to be looked at - in previous months a couple of days. Suspect that support has been swamped with people having DLC entitlement issues with the launch of TSW6.

    Yes, sometimes the mileage is calculated not very correctly, but then it appears to be correctly calculated.
    P.S. The number of scenarios in this November mastery is simply off the charts.
