The same problem happens at Frankfurt-Fulda too, occasionally. The fast train platforms at Frankfurt are just barely long enough to accommodate a full ICE1 or two ICE3 for example. You have to get very cozy with the buffer stop to get the whole train in completely. The AI often doesn't, leading to situations like the one you described Perhaps the stopping points for the AI (or for Frankfurt Hbf in general) need to be looked into?
I don't use the 423 very often, so I don't know. Might try it later in the evening, if I have the time for it. Not much spare time for TSW lately
I didn't have time to test it until now, and can confirm: The wiper bug on the 423 has not been fixed so far. The wipers don't wipe at all
In the "S-Bahn Panne" scenario, there is an error at signal 62 F shortly before the S-Bahn depot at the end of the scenario. According to the HUD and map, the main signal should show Hp1 (proceed at stop). Instead, it shows Hp0 (stop at stop). There is no advise from the operator to ignore the signal. Attention: In this case, the PZB system follows the signals along the track. It would therefore trigger an emergency brake application at signal 62 F. Use Befehl 40 to pass the signal (Delete key).
Anyone else still finding the save game a bit flakey on this route? I had a part finished S8 run which I saved last night before coming off for bedtime. When I tried to load it this evening, TSW CTD with an Unreal error message.
In my opinion, on all routes, saving is a lottery. It might end well, or it might not. But I don't remember loading a save ever causing the game to crash.
Since a recent update (I think very recent) the 430 no longer shows the next station on the left screen, and has been replaced with just ---. Is anyone else seeing this? Seems to affect all S1/8/9 services.
Thought i would have a little job on this man i forgot its like a ghost town on consoles. I really wish they would add some more content even do it gradually to see what consoles are capable off.
Since one of the last updates, this route seems unplayable to me. A lot of stuttering and framerate drops, even outside of Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof! I had not experienced this amount of problems before. Just came back to it after spending a lot of time on MVL and the Liberec-route and it does not feel nice or smooth at all!
Unsure if introduced by a patch but I've just tried to drive S8 (35804) Offenbach Ost - Wiesbaden Hbf at 4:46am and had an AI SPAD just seconds after starting.
It’s a nice route, but it stutters like crazy. It’s basically unplayable on my gaming laptop, which handles every other TSW route just fine.
Has it been your first run on the route? Stutters on a first run are rather normal, since it takes time for all the shaders to be loaded and stored. But regardless of shaders, of all the German routes, S-Bahn Frankfurt is perhaps the one most prone to stuttering. With Stuttgart-Heilbronn being a close second. And that's me talking from my gaming PC, which isn't too shabby if I dare say so If I were DTG, these two routes would be my prime targets for optimization
Aside from the new timetable on GWE Remastered, this is still the only route that always crashes when trying to load a saved game. Probably reported ages ago and guessing DTG either CBA or don’t know how to fix it. Given it’s also probably now regarded as legacy content, even less chance.
I've done three runs and all were equally terrible. I know that the first run is always bad because of shaders. But this route is much worse than any other route in TSW. I was expecting bad performance around Frankfurt, but the whole map has massive stutters.
