Oh no, Another Branch of the Enough Is Enough Series.... Oh well.. we can't blame him for opting out...
Can I just compliment your profile picture! Sorry that’s the extend of my comment haha, but it’s always nice to see a class 442!! Hopefully one day we get one
At the moment yeah, series X but apparently there was some changes to Xbox gamepass regarding cloud gaming hours or something like that limited to 15H a month which is meh, don’t know how true it is. but i did wonder if I could just get the game through my Xbox app on PC as that’s what I did with Forza horizon 6 and it works fine, I’ll need to have a look after work!
I do know that you can’t transfer add ons between one console platform and another but can’t you transfer to PC?
Well I’m seeking advice regarding moving to PC and some kind people have given me advice, if that’s helps!
Yeah I realized today. downloaded TSW7 via Xbox app on pc but don’t have my other add ons so looks like I’ll be getting the free version via steam and building my collection up again! update: apparently I should be good because I’m playing via Xbox app or something and it’s linked so I believe I can just download my stuff again but I’m going to check when I’m home.
You shouldn't need to. I bought TSW6 on my series X, have probably 80% of UK routes bought on it too and I now exclusively play the pc versions streamed to the Xbox as you get both the Xbox and pc versions when you buy it. Edit: To be a bit clearer, I originally bought and played on series x. Blurry textures on GWML annoyed me so now I launch the Xbox pc copy on my pc (which you automatically own along with the series x copy) then stream it from my pc to the Xbox via moonlight app. So now I have the superior pc copy on my big TV controlled by my Xbox controller. No need to rebuy anything.
Yeah I just asked Gemini about my situation and you are correct! I don’t think I’m streaming it thought, I installed it through the Xbox app with the install option so I have the complete game with the UK route and deluxe loco which I’ve got installed on my Xbox! so when I get home from work tomorrow morning, I SHOULD be able to download the rest of my previous add ons from TSW 6 unless I have to wait for the full game release. like I said previously, I’m still relatively new to PC and haven’t done stuff like this before so that’s probably why I sound a bit cautious and confused.
Mine is also installed on my pc, but instead of sitting at a desk using my pc monitor, I just stream it from my pc to the Xbox so I can sit on my sofa with the big TV.
in 2021 during the height of lockdown i was considering moving from xbox to steam. i had about £150 worth of content but that’s replaceable, my main issue was sourcing a graphics card for a decent price. if only someone had told me that in 2026, they’d be quadruple the price and i’ve now got over a grand worth of dlc. tsw’s successor is likely still a couple of years away, so either it comes out to steam players only, or dtg find a way of making content cross platform compatible. i don’t really know much about that so if the logistics don’t work, it looks like we’ll probably be left behind.
Right that makes sense, I thought it would be something like that but didn’t understand for which platform (steam, Epic etc). Thats nice then, off work on Tuesday as well so have something to look forward to! thanks for the help
And yes if you play the PC version from Xbox it has Epic Settings and the full timetable for Frankfurt S-bahn as well. Just my computer is a potato and won't run it.
Yeah I went through my settings earlier on to see what performs the best and I’m happy. Only have the UK route installed, ran fine but there was the odd stutter here and there which I’m going to assume is game related (hopefully). Other than that, no issues at all!
The first run of any route will always be more stuttery than normal, as the shader cache builds up. After that it will run smoother, but you'll never be totally free of microstutters as that's simply how UE4 works in loading tiles. Also, once the shader cache fills up, the cached shaders for the older routes you played will get replaced, so you'll be back to square one (unless you have the hard drive space to increase your cache).
