Progress Transfer Update - Train Sim World 2 To Train Sim World 3

Well if the collectables are imported, I hope the achievement unlocks if you've already collected all of them on a route. So do them all in TSW2 first, then import.

 

This is my concern. TSW doesn't seem to retroactively award trophies (i.e. if a trophy didn't pop when reaching a certain level or distance requirement, it never will on that profile). I have a bad feeling that some trophies then will only be achievable by using a second, new, profile.

Still, this is good news for those painful trophies I haven't gotten yet ("Operate the BR 182 a distance of 1820km", why!?)

 

I doubt that the game will check for achievements when you create a profile, I think when you load a scenario or service all achievement's you've earned will unlock for the route your currently playing

 

Great question! I notice no reply forthcoming. That about sums up their interest in TSW2, doesn't it?

 

They have said that all future DLC will be TSW3.

And it was also confirmed by a developer.

TSW2 is on life support and the plug is likely to be pulled 6 months from next week.

 

They've already answered numerous times.

 

Maybe a little bit off-topic here, but what does this mean for the new three routes in terms of layers during Early Access? Will all SKW AI traffic be present? What about SEHS TGV and Jubilee services (when buying the standard edition)?

 

I would assume that there would be no layers in the interim (all of 4 days!), because the layered rolling stock's base route has to be present in order to load the models.

 

It can be like that.

This is strange because the pre-order will be done mainly by fans of the brand. It is their flattering opinions that can determine the success of sales, but they will receive an incomplete product at the same time. For me, this is not a problem, possibly a small disappointment.

 

As others have said, anything not included in the base TSW3 package won't layer in until the 6th. The Jubilee is a bit different, as if you get the Deluxe edition to do get it for early access, but if you're just getting it as part of a free upgrade from the TSW2 route via the standard edition, you have to wait until the 6th.

 

There has been mention of brand new achievements for TSW3 as the old ones can’t be ported across. However, I am unclear as to achievements for individual TSW2 DLCs, e.g. achievements for completing scenarios, collectables etc. Will these still be available under TSW3 and, if so, will they need to be achieved again or will achievements made in TSW2 carry across?

 

...can't happen, because everthing uploaded to CC is automatically saved on the DTG server. That's why you can download your uploaded stuff again.
BTW: thanks to JD for the additional info, to take over the old profile the first time you log in. I've already outsourced 47 liveries + 2 scenarios, but the rest are mostly subject to license regulations that have not yet been approved. So I preffer the log in first method.

 

Well that’s good to know!

 

Please some official word on the achievements. Will they auto complete? Afterall TSW 1 / 2 had the same achievements (and I guess TSW 3 will too) for the same routes so you could trigger them all after checking if the content has been done.

Will this be possible? Otherwise I guess I'd refrain from importing the profile - who knows what will break.

 

Okay thanks for the update
Any news on if I can transfer my routes between TSW2 on PS4 and TSW3 on PS5?

 

Oh god no transfer from PS4 to PS5…

 

So there is no transfer at all? What I mean is that I’ve got all my DLC on TSW2 on my PS4 and I’m going to buy a PS5. Will my routes be able to transfer. I don’t really necessarily mind about progress, but route DLCs I do.

 

Routes should transfer as long as you use the same account on the PS5 that you used TSW2 with on PS4.

 

So I don’t know whether it’s all the AI trains, but I have seen Dostos which are not included in the route running in Kassel, so there is AI traffic. Apart from that, there is a ton of ICE trains!
The funny thing is also, that the Talent two, Br146.2 and Dostos are in the menu available, but since there are no services you can drive, you can’t select them. But there is AI!

 

The 146 and 442 are AI only

 

Is the profile transfer available with Steam's early access? I did not get the option to import as shown in the document .

 

i did see a large update ~3GB come by but nothing yet after a restart. if it helps , i see build 49 in the game.

 

sorry, typo. yes, am on Build 59 and restarted Steam.
This is not a biggie so will play TSW3 . Hopefully , this gets fixed before release.
thanks

 

Is there a difference between importing your profile and transfering your TSW2 progress?

I have TSW2 and 3 on Epic Games and had the option of importing my TSW2 profile into TSW3, which I didn't think was going to be possible at launch? It seems to have carried over my level on things like the SD40-2 and BR442.

Was this ability added for Epic Games at the last minute or will I be missing something progress wise once the TSW Compatible content goes live in TSW3? Or have I confused something?

I am trying to log into dovetail live it's not in my login

 

quick update if anyone else couldn't import TSW2 profile . This worked for me.
I have TSW2 installed but was logged out of Dovetail (didn't now) . So when i installed TSW3, maybe it did not know about TSW2 profile.
So, i uninstalled TSW3 (Steam) and also removed the profile/files from the local drive. (in my case C:\Users\<user>\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld3
Went into TSW2 and logged in dovetail and went in and out of a route (i dont think this matters)
Then reinstalled TSW3.
When logged into Dovetail from within TSW3, if game me the "import" option!

Just wanted to post this incase someone had the same issue...

 

Hi, can we transfer the TSW2 DLC's to TSW3?

 

You will be able to when they go live – at or after release, depending on the DLC.

 

...a quick update from me: everything according to profile transfer worked as planned! First I transferred my old PS4 profile (70+) on console and late in the evening, after the PC patch, I was able to bring my TSW2 PC (40+) profile into TSW3. Because more than 40 DLCs still have to be installed, I don't have access to them yet. But at least most of them are still neatly placed in CC.

BTW: a few words about the new UI. It's really relatively easy and coherent to navigate, so the overhaul was worth it!

 

Brilliant. Thank you

 

There doesn't seem to be any way to use your TSW2 trains or routes in TSW3 yet on PC. Looks like all that happens is it imports the trains into the TSW3 files, but you can't access them or use them. You just get an empty screen when you try. I would have thought you would need to go into TSW3 Store and they would appear as "Purchased" and you would then need to transfer the actual files from there.

 

Those should become available to download once the game comes out of early access and released for everybody (except PlayStation, which will have staggered releases of the content).

 

Let's hope so. IMO the layout of the sim is very duplicated and confusing to use. I think they could have done a better job with simplifying the menu. The game is also very graphics intense and runs very hot. I have my 3080ti undervolted and it still runs at up to 75 degrees at 100% at times. All my sim racing titles run at approx 65 degrees at 87% utilization.

 

What about transferring TSW2 PS4 version to PS5, then importing that PS5 profile to TSW3?

I really don't want to start again. This is ridiculous, and should have been the most basic feature to begin with, especially as most of us have already poured hundreds of hours into this game.

 

There is no PS4 to PS5 transfer - they've given up on that and removed it from the roadmap entirely.

 

Not to mention the hundreds of dollars we poured into the game.

 

Thank you for everything you are doing. My request is for the "save" function to return asap. I can't play some of the routes as they are too long. I don't want to leave computer and PS5 in rest mode to save energy. Please can we have it back.... with thanks

 

I'm still a little confused, being new to TSW2 and now going to TSW3. Does this mean I can play all my trains and DLC routes I purchased on TSW2 on TSW3? Also, I heard someone saying you can run different trains on different routes too. So, for example, can I run an ICE train on the Cajon Pass in California?




Find out how you can do this here.

Note: At this stage, Epic Games or Xbox for Windows (PC) players will not be able to transfer progress.[/QUOTE]

 

Yes, all TSW2 routes and locos are automatically updated to TSW3 (i.e., new TSW3-compatible versions will be automatically downloaded). Your profile with all your game progress can be imported as above if you play on Steam, Game Pass, Playstation or XBox (but not XBox for Windows).

Running unprototypical trains on different routes: you can do this using the Scenario Editor (in some cases, you may have to pick "off the rails" mode for a setup which would be impossible IRL, like running an electric loco on Cajon Pass or an AC4400 on the London Underground).

 

I'm struggling to make sense of this. I will never be able to import my progress from TSW2 to TWS3 on the Epic platform, or is it just that it wasn't implemented for release day, but it will be possible in the future?

 

I'm disapointing : no achievement transfer and route services or collectables including scénario. It is hardly frustrating after many Times and many many times to complète achievements and services... Is DTG working on a solution ??

 

If you're having issues with you profile not importing suggest submitting a ticket at this link https://dovetailgames.freshdesk.com/support/home

 

Is there any news on this? Will it be possible to import a profile from TSW2 on EPIC into TSW3?
