DTG Matt can PC users has some assurances please Matt that this blur issue isn’t going to dilute our experience of TSW by using lower res textures across the game to fix an issue that mainly seems to plague console users. thanks
Matt, as allready mentioned by others, turning off substitutions helps to prevent bluryness. However, I don't want to loose all substitutions. Is it possible to add and option to disable certain substitutions, like you can already with layers? It will not only helps with blurryness, it's also nice to prevent some locos from being visible on a route, when they don't match the era.
The reductions we're doing are because the textures are inefficient and pointlessly large. If we see a visible reduction then we reverse it. In a recent case with the 807 I spoke to AABS about the low res textures that appeared there and it was simply an oversight they are correcting. So no, no intention to reduce quality for anyone, this is about just finding where the textures are simply over the top for no benefit. Matt.
Indeed, substitutions will massively contribute - the worst offenders are the multiple versions of identical things. each one taking up its own unique memory, and bringing nothing of value to the visual table. So yes, on the list to look at that too. Matt.
That would be really great if this can be accomplished. The many 143, 146 and 185 in game are not needed for substitutions and for example, I do not want to see the DB Vectron on Bremen - Oldenburg or the BR 110 from Linke Rheinstrecke on Dresden - Riesa.
I have the impression that not only 807, but also 805 have a very reduced texture, perhaps by mistake, but maybe that's just my impression. However, the latest optimization on Pendolino 390 also seemed to me to have reduced the quality of external textures, but maybe I just didn't notice it that much before? Otherwise, we are curious about further results and developments in this area on PS5.
Can you please Change the whole System to include only 1 Class 66 or BR 185 to the Game It make no sense to have 20 different Versions of the Same Train, all with Bugs and issues
Personally I never had any issue with blurry textures. As others said above, I just hope the effort to reduce texture size will not reduce the quality for those of us with high end PCs.
My thinking is that fixing the substitution issues will have more of a benefit than we think. The reason behind my thinking on this is if you drive with just the default stock you don't get blurry textures on the routes. Another reason being if you drive SKA new journeys timetable no blurry textures only the revamped is affected same with BCC, Cathcart, GWE. No issues with the original TT's.
You don’t Need multiple Versions of the Class 66, DB BR 146 or the Dostos. It’s enough to have 1 Version with working Perfectly in different Liveries. But that each Route has a new version is Bad Memory use, plus many Versions are broken
Oddly I’ve never had any issues on Cathcart with the updated timetable. Ran into a packed GC with both Pendos and an Azuma on the platforms upon arrival to test but it behaved itself.
Thing is the response brought back by the staff team is often "If someone doesn't have the 66 that was added with (insert route here), they won't be able to play that service." And? That's no different to not being able to drive any service if the player doesn't have the relevant DLC. Trim the number down, get rid of the substitutions.
Just filled out the poll. Really hope this can finally get sorted, at least to an acceptable level in the meantime, as there are many routes I enjoy and would like to keep enjoying, but don't play anymore due to the frustration of blurry textures.
