    ... are unplayble on seiesX. I just tested br145 and almost every german route delivered either blurry rextures or CTD. THIS IS PURE DISASTER. :|:o:(:mad:

    Yup I’ve long since deleted German content from my collection, it’s the worst of the worst for blurring IMO. I’ve got other issues with German content but the guaranteed blurring puts me right off even being interested in anything new announced.

    It’s an issue that’s taking far too long to sort & if they’d have paid attention to it years ago when it cropped up, we might have actually gotten past it by now.

    you’d like to think so, wouldn’t you. blurry textures have been happening since tsw2 and the fact that 5 years later it’s gotten worse is unacceptable

    This is caused by the amount of layers for AI trains. The route it self is not that bad. German routes have the most different trains of all the different countries in the game. Also the amount and the more complex track layout caused this issue.

    The only way I find to play the German content is with the default route stock and nothing else.

    But it makes for really dead runs.

    but but but layer selector. utter nonsense. the whole point of german routes in tsw has become being able to use a wide variety of rolling stock that you own, and now players are having to compromise that just to avoid the routes dropping to a few pixels. i’ve had to do this with frankfurt fulda, it was my favourite of the 3 core tsw5 routes until it became plagued by blurry textures and CTDs on xbox and i haven’t completed a full run since. that must be what, over a year and a half ago now? but its fine, tsw7 is on the way and it’ll be full of bug fixes, because they’ve said that’s what’s going to happen

    But somehow I'm starting to doubt we will see a fix for TSW7.

    For BLD on XSX I had very good experiences, with limited blurring, on the 145 timetable in 4K with all layers except DCZ, and that layer adds very little.

    FTF is more problematic but I find it runs pretty well in 4K if you don't include the layers from SKW. That of course removes a fair few ICE services.

    Turning off volumetric fog and limiting livery substitutions also helps. I know it's not ideal but maybe better than not playing. Also for the record I don't think blurred textures will be fixed in TSW7 either. As we are seeing the solution from DTG is just to make the models with less detail and fidelity. And even that is not really working.
