I'm trying to pull together a list of the blurry routes so I can prioritise the team on the fixes we've identified that need to be undertaken. Please fill out the form below! Poll: Blurry Texture and Crashing Poll – Fill in form Thanks Matt.
GWE Remastered PS5 (blurry textures started appearing on the 166 after the update in mid June) Trent Valley PS5 Birmingham Crewe PS5 Preston Crewe PS5 Peterborough - Doncaster PS5 North London Line (what ever its called) Windrush? PS5 Will need to run some more routes and take notes as I see them (Soz) Tony
Preston to Crewe and Preston to Carlisle can be an issue (PC Steam) with AI trains in particular appearing blurred or smudged regardless of resolution, even down to 1080p.
Put this in the Xbox specific thread the other day, but here’s what I’ve found on Series X in terms of UK content (with virtually all content installed): Cardiff city network (pacer timetable) Crewe - Preston ECML (full timetable) Edinburgh Glasgow (158 timetable) Fife Circle (158 timetable) Great Western Express Mildmay Line Manchester Airport Riviera (infrequent but happens for me in stormy conditions) WCML South (805 timetable) WCML Birmingham-Crewe WCML Trent Valley (full timetable)
Preston - Crewe PS5. Having experienced limited ‘blurry’ texture issues on previous routes, this is noticeably on another level.
PS5 WCML: Preston - Crewe WCML: Crewe - Milton Keynes (full TT) WXML: Crewe - Birmingham (Modern full TT) WCML: Milton Keynes - London (Evero TT) Bahnstrecke Dresden - Leipzig (Expert TT) Köln - Aachen (Revamp TT) Cardiff City Network (2019 TT) Frankfurt - Fulda GWE: Remastered Mildmay Line Fire Circle (158 TT)

No, it’s the exterior of the stock even when all trains are stationary. A bit like the artefact we sometimes got on the HST’s way back on the OG GWE.
On PS5 - Mildmay Line and Crewe-Preston are the only UK routes where I have seen significant blurring with some blurring now on the other JT routes. Occasional blurring on Manchester Airport, WCML South and GWE remastered. That brings me to all the DTG modern German routes - the more trains that can appear on the route through layers and substitution, the more blurry it can be but they all go blurry - they were the first routes where trains started becoming blurry (several years ago now) due to them having the most variety in trains. I don’t know how you could prioritise these other than optimising every train and then work backwards through the route releases for route optimisation.
Koln - Aachen with revamped timetable. GWE as soon as the Class 350 layer becomes active, with only the Class 484 and freight from SEHS no blurry textures. I'm playing on Xbox Series S in HD mode.

A Poll isn't a bad shout... let me see what I can sort, not sure you can have that many options on the forum software - i'll come back... Matt.
Could you not do four threads each with a poll . A german poll, A UK poll, A US poll and a other poll. Something like that.
PS5 I experience very little Blurry Textures but here are some I've noticed: Mildmay Line - Almost every run WCMLS - 710 - Evero timetable Scotrail 158 - FCL
Ps5 Gwe express Birmingham Crewe Trent valley Riviera route. GBR pack virtually any service on any route it runs on the train exterior starts blurring within 5-10 mins of starting service. Luckily as I drive mostly in what could be called nose cam mode I don’t see it thankfully (timetable services with GBR selected as train to run) plus as an aside any route with class 80x variant they seem to blur more than other locos on the route.
Is it worth pinning this post so it’s at top of the forum and doesn’t get lost further down when other feed get updates?
Crewe-Preston Midland Mainline Birmingham-Crewe Preston-Carlisle Riviera line GWR remastered Blackpool Branches All on PS5
Just a note, I have PS5 and have noticed that if you change the setting to HD, no substitutions and disabled creation club liveries. It does help slightly not completely reduce the blurry textures. Also if it the blurriness comes in it usually sorts it's self out after a while or gives just minimal blurred textures

Ok i've set up a form here: Blurry Texture and Crashing Poll – Fill in form If you can go log your feedback there, that would be much appreciated! Thank you Matt.
Switching to HD drops it from 4k to 1080p, which has a really positive reduction on the amount of video memory being used, leaving more for other things, so that's what i'd expect you to see in this case. Regardless, it should still work well in 4K of course! Matt.
Thanks for the poll, I only have one issue to fill it in. You need to give an answer on every question and I don't play US routes. An option to leave a question blanc whould be handy.
External poll was great, much easier than listing them off. Just FYI there are some options on there which only suffer the texture issue IF you use an alternate timetable, such as Cardiff City is fine unless you’re on the 142 TT. I know there are others too such as WCMLS.
I've added "None" options to the lists if you can confirm you can see that ok, no idea if this will let you update a form once it's live Matt.
So far, I have observed blurry textures on the below routes WCMLS (Milton Keynes to London Euston) Harlem Line Peninsula Corridor New York to Trenton Boston Sprinter
On Series X, 122 addons installed. Stuttgart, Mannheim Frankfurt to Fulda Liepzig Dresden Dresden Reisa SKA. Revamped TT only. Salzburg Rosenheim WCMLS WCML Trent Valley Birmingham to Crewe Birmingham Cross City (170 TT only) Cathcart Circle (380 TT only) SEHS Manchester Airport Commuter ECML. GWE Remastered TT only NEC Stamford
Not intending to continually backseat, but perhaps worth locking the thread with the last comment in it being the link to the form? It's easy to skip at the moment for people who just read the OP and reply straight away. Though again it takes away from people who want to add extra detail.
Happy for people to add to the thread with any other insights and feedback to be honest, dont want to shut down conversation on the topic. Seem to have many going in to the form now so starting to collect some good data. Thanks all - keep it up!
PS5 blurred routes Crewe to Preston Preston to Carlisle WCML Birmingham to Crewe WCML Trent valley Manchester Airport line Wcml south Wcml Preston to Carlsie is worst one at the moment on the ps5
I haven't seen Cathcart mentioned so here it is. But come on, we've already spent goodness knows how much time cataloguing the problem. RTFF!
Matt, would love your thoughts on following as one hell of coincidence Please see the British Ace WCML Trent Valley on Xbox video At 20.45 you see an AI train on bridge ahead. 21.14 blurry textures hit 25.10 textures come back Few seconds later AI train comes into view 25.34 textures gone 26.43 textures back Few seconds later - AI train 27.09 textures gone 29.07 textures back Few seconds - AI train (does struggle to keep textures) 29.34 textures gone 31.41 textures back AI train in view (struggles again) 32.34 gone 34.29 textures back AI train 34.52 gone 35.32 textures back AI train 35.57 gone 36.15 textures back AI train (struggles again) 36.57 gone 39.40 textures back AI train (but struggles) 40.24 gone 41.50 textures back AI train 42.12 gone After this it becomes hit and miss to the point its pretty much gone for good I have noticed something similar on Riviera Line where the textures failed half way through the journey. Went into freeroam at Paignton, walked up to Torquay and after a while a 150 pulled in with textures all back. Train set off for Paignton and the textures went with it. Also now seen on GWE remaster as with Trent Valley Seems the textures for a time load back in when an AI train appears, and they go blurry again shortly after the train unloads
Xbox Series X…Crewe to Preston…when travelling at speed, AI fast traffic travelling in the opposite direction are noticeably blurred.
This is on the Xbox series X wow the only US route that I was aware that had experience blurry textures was Stamford and I only experience it when I'm driving either Acela and ACS64. It seems to come a go depending on when any M8 passing. I haven't experience while driving the M8. Curious to know which platform are you having these blurry on malikrthr ?
Hello, I play on PS5 Pro and even though we tried several times to switch TSW General settings from 4K to HD, I did not notice any improvement in terms of blurring.......actually I would have expected some improvement but it is not happening for me........ I agree that turning off substitutions helps, logically, but in maps from Just Train etc. it is a bit of a problem when the traffic, especially on Preston - Carlisle is directly based on Substitutions
I second this on Xbox Series X. No difference switching to HD I get blurryness at the exact same points.
I can’t remember any issues with blurry textures on Preston - To Carlisle, Blackpool branches and Great Western Express Remastered recently but since the updates I have had blurry textures on GWE and Preston to Crewe which I bought as all these updates dropped.
There's an upper limit of 25 (which is exceeded by the number of the UK routes, and if memory serves German/EUR also.), although I do suppose Matt could easily exclude a number of low-layer routes (i.e. IOW/22, WCL, etc.)
Also to be more useful - Cathcart (380) timetable can be really bad (XSX) when the 390 / FS / 801 are loaded in.
Not sure this is the kind of blurryness you're investigating DTG Matt , but better safe than sorry: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...le-feedback-thread.87292/page-25#post-1108033
