    OK folks, I thought I would try something and it worked, however if I was you I would wait for the update for those who are experiencing the crash screen on the PS4 until the fix/update is released later today/evening. I removed TSW2 and re-installed it, and even though a majority of the routes are missing, the game now works fine.

    I figured I might as well, the game is currently useless otherwise.

    Thanks for the info, however I don’t have the time to delete and reinstall, not the inclination it’s not our error to sort and correct… I really want the routes and locos I want back mainly for the reason i work hard for my money and the fact we’ve bought these routes from a company to play! they have our money! and we don’t have the product!! I’ve read the response from dtg and I’m sorry it’s a “ It’s not us it them answer”

    I can understand your frustration, and obviously everybody elses. I think that things could have been done possibly different from DTG. However doing an update across multiple platforms and the release of Rush Hour on multiple platforms would obviously lead to some issues, and it is some big task. DTG are working on a fix ASAP, and all the downloadable content will be restored once the update has come out this afternoon/evening.

    I am only working on a solution which could possibly help others. If you don't have time to re-install etc then thats fine, but I am only trying to find ways to get it up and running, ok its not my job, but unfortunately these things happen.

    Yeah, didn't work for me either

    We're apparently now waiting for Sony to hit the button on the fix but that "could be anything up to 24 hours"

    ianjpoole You are fine to express your frustrations, but easy on the bad language - These forums are for users of all ages.

    Are you using a PS4 or a PS4 Pro?. I am using a PS4 Pro. I removed the game completely and re-installed it, I have only 4 routes, but I am downloading some of the ones in game, some are saying I need to purchase them when I have already bought them. But hopefully this will be fixed shortly. I have noticed the games runs better, the GFX are improved in the way of draw distance, and it does not stutter now like it used to. The Splash screen and the game also loads quicker, and so does the routes, and thats on a PS4 Pro.

    Though I have to say, he would not be drawn to bad language if DTG had some how got this right in the first place. Really what is going on at head office right now, are management actually getting involved in this mess up or just oh well we have got their money, let the techies sort it out! Will Management be in a live stream to explain to everyone what has happened or are the normal people going to be lambs to the slaughter this evening!

    If you uninstall and reinstall, do you lose all your progress?

    So!!! I saw the dtg post “your dlcs should now be in the store for free, just click the download link and it will trigger the update” (please read in a sarcastic voice) well I’ve clicked on all 18 of my dlc purchases and guess what!???? They don’t work!!! It’s taken 20 mins to download cathkart (useless internet provider) once that completely rubbish start screen that must have taken at least 3 mins for someone to cut and paste the locos before the old screen appears…. There’s the standard routes again!!! And let’s not mention the huge lag spike now of trying to swap left and right through the menu….. as I can’t swear on here I hope your ears are burning useless bunch

    OK, here is some new info. I checked the PS store for my DLC and found I'm given a free version when I click on the Preserved Collection. I downloaded the Peninsula Corridor and it works in game without crashing.

    That's right, The more recent DLC do not have free versions and still have prices listed on them. This appears to be Preserved Collection only.

    Without a source to validate this you may as well consider this as hearsay. We've had far to much lip-service from DTG, I for one don't believe anything they say until I actually see it.

    And in English? Until 'JD' confirms this himself, I'm taking it still as hearsay.

    So why the sneaky sneaky, why didnt you post that originally.
    Fair enough he confirmed it via a PM but until he's willing to commit to that publicly I'm afraid it's lip-service.

    In all fairness I believe that just relates to what was posted about it taking up to 24 hours for everything to appear in the store and be back to normal, not when a patch will be released.

    And now going on the aggressive against other members who don't believe you, just backs up the fact that this is non-substantiated

    I will wait until I hear something out of the mouth or fingers of JD or someone from DTG
