West Coast Main Line: Trent Valley From All Aboard Studios

Perhaps this was true many years ago, but now consoles present a pathetic sight with the power of average hardware that is 5 years old.

 

And you believed them?

Honestly the PC experience has been getting nerfed for years for the sake of the consoles and yet when we mention it the console brigade start mouthing off, DTG themselves repeatedly lie saying that PC is unaffected but here we are yet again.

 

Hi all, how much of a game changer is the Engineering Express Pack? Do you get much more freight?

 

No theres no freight until the 70 comes

 

Ive just had a run in the 807 on it quite surprised how well it runs there was some blurry textures but it didnt stop me playing im on xbox series x to

 

You got have the dlc it was made for . For it to layer into routes.

 

There is freight on the route just not a lot and certain 66s have certain jobs.

 

Have you seen Steams hardware surveys?

I always find it interesting that people bring up the age of console hardware, when those hardware surveys consistently show that the most common PC specs are on par, or even worse than gen9 spec.

The problem in its entirety is that DTG purely depends on using hard power to run its software, even with their ‘optimisation’ efforts they’re displaying that their understanding of it is to just reduce quality or number of assets - they have no idea how to actually streamline things.

You can even see this flawed philosophy in Matt & Chris’ comments & replies around RunningTrain, making remarks over techniques used to produce a great looking environment that delivers smooth performance & excellent fidelity, insinuating it’s incorrect in some way.

Just look at the crux of the texture problem, they’re just slapping 4K textures on top of 4K textures & then are seeming amazed that’s caused memory problems. Amateur doesn’t even begin to describe that sort of development process.

 

Oh right fair enough
