Out Now Tsw6: Avanti West Coast Class 805 - Out Now!

A release issue. No way. Who would of thought.

 

same issue on Xbox series s too

 

I wouldn’t be bothered with it. Just ignore it and continue to play other services.

 

I will hold off then if theres an issue wait for a sale

 

Birmingham to Crewe route DLC discounted 20% on Xbox. So also is Manchester Airport DLC

 

Would of? Would have. Would've.

 

If I had a nickel for every eggcorn and malapropism in the forum I would be a very wealthy man.

 

I've always wondered if people who write it that way do so because that's how they pronounce it ?

 

I've said this before on this forum, but does it really matter if someone makes a spelling or grammar error if it's still obvious what they mean?

 

Exactly right.

It doesn't. We have to be aware that English is not a first language for many people on the forum.

 

Almost 3 more hours to wait, well, chort :C

 

What other DLC are required for the full layered effect of the new timetables?

 

Exactly. Like myron/moron

 

If it is out now, 27/01/2026, why can I not find it on Steam?

 

It doesn't get released on steam till 6pm

 

Steam is 1800. Consoles releases at 1000 so it is technically out now

 

Steam is 6pm normally

 

Individual writing hiccup, no; that happens to everyone, especially in this age of autocorrect. But "would of" and its family have spread like measles, and it keeps being used through corrections, making it feel less like an honest mistake and more like a cult or conspiracy trying to normalize through belligerence and repetition. "We of to of faith!"

But I'm also someone from a family of English majors, authors, teachers, etc. who finds reading that painful, so maybe my tolerance isn't what it should be.

"Eggcorn" is new to me, so thanks for the TIL!

 

what is the point of releasing it later on pc? steam gives you total control over when to publish. i find it hard to believe it takes 12 hours to finish the build on PC, the release candidate surely is done the day before (and if not i want to talk to your project manager)

 

To some extent you are accurate, but keep in mind that Steam is located on the west coast of the US and they release at 10 am PST.

 

You won't be able to download it from Steam until 1800 GMT, but usually you can buy it in advance, so it will start to download when Steam make it available. AT the moment (1750), there's no sign of it on Steam.

 

the steam store updates at a different time to consoles, so i’m sure you’d rather put up with that than the problems on consoles

 

This is not true. Steam doesn't have a set release time. Developers have total control over when they release their game. Steam also does not allow you to automate it, someone has to press the actual button. See: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/releasing

 

Don’t waste your time. I’ve asked this very same question endlessly only to be met by the usual DTG silence…..and I am fully aware of the time difference and where Steam is located but there is absolutely no reason why it could not be released at 10am.

 

no see it

 

Case in point, it's been 3 minutes past the store refresh and it still isn't there, because nobody has pressed the button. If it were out of Dovetail's control it would have been automatically published on the store refresh.

But it isn't because release time has nothing to do with the store refresh and it's very tiring having people repeat this myth over and over again

 

DTG seem to have stopped the pre-order of dlc a number of months ago for no valid reason unfortunately.

 

see it!

 

It’s there now…just bought it!

 

Iv got one issue it says on the scenario for Edinburgh it's out of memory and crashes the game on this service on Xbox series X

 

Es4t, it is released at 10 am PST. Remember, once someone "presses the button" it has to propagate out over the web. So, I got it at 1303 EST which is just 3 minutes past "button push".

 

Along with the 10% discount for so doing. A nice little sweetener particularly for items you might not be too sure about, like the Class 805. Their loss because they may now end up getting £7.50 when it gets a sale reduction rather than just coughing up £13.50 with a prerelease discount.

 

okay so when is the fix going to be available?
The issue for me isn’t the release issue it’s the lack of urgency of getting things like this fixed.

 

Calm down, people!!! It’s available for Xbox now. I’m buying it now!

 

the fix you mean?

 

Thanks but I wasn’t the one saying I couldn’t find it. I logged into Steam at 18:01 and it was there waiting. I was questioning why Steam/DTG do not make it available at 10am GMT

 

A brief aside, André Gide once said
Un peuple qui tient à sa langue est un peuple qui tient bon

 

On otre francais Parler! Oooo la la! bonjour Jim Apple Meesure Trains

 

Thankfully the scenario issue doesn't really bother me, I don't really do scenarios.

Don't see myself picking this up any time soon though. Out of the two routes it runs on I have hardly played WCMLS and don't currently own B2C.

 

Oooh, XBox getting a sale when Steam doesn't? Will wonders never cease!

 

Posting this question again as it seems to have been lost in the confusion over release times…

What other DLC are required for the full layered effect of the new timetables?

 

Thanks Candace. If you could ask please. Any background into this would be helpful.

 

One problem is that 10 am GMT is 2 am on the West Coast, a bit inconvenient for Steam and for the rest of the US. I assume Sony and Microsoft have UK operations so can release on your schedule.

 

Matt's explained it in the past, if something goes wrong on console DTG's support from Sony/Microsoft is UK based so they can launch in the morning and get support all day, Steam support is only West Coast US so they delay release until support is available.

Considering pretty much all recent DLC releases have needed an emergency patch on at least one platform it's probably a sensible approach to take.

 

Thank you Candace. But to be clear, I wasn't asking which routes had new timetables. But for the 2 included, what other DLC would be required to experience the full effect? In other words, do I need Goblin Line for the 710, any freight add-ons, etc?
