Thought I’d best list these here in one thread… Class 158: Wiper doesn’t clear the rain on windscreen. Passengers block entry to the cab. HST: DSD and DRA isolation switches are back to front (who isolated when active). Cannot cancel Vigilance with circle button. Switching off DSD also deactivates AWS. Also, the TPWS is MAD keen. I got bubbled twice on a 158 ECS move doing well below the upcoming speed. Once at Sheet Stores and another approaching Nottingham. There are also speed sign issued around Sheet Stores (15mph shown for the turnout but speed is actually 10mph) and towards Trent East there are several 80 boards in a gaggle. Speed board AGM?
The British Ace just livestreamed two services and his game crashed during both of them, on PS5. Also have to note the obnoxious cloud texture on the windows of the 158 in cockpit view, which was already there in the preview stream and noticed by many. Edit: DTG is investigating the PS5 issues right now, great to hear that!
so the usual high standards then! and they delayed this dlc as well, makes you wonder what state it was in. Games are complex these days you expect some issues, but its really bad, people will abandon TSW if they cant bug test properly. People wont buy day one for dlc they will wait until its on sale / bugs are fixed. I suspect TSW4 will be needed sooner rather than later maybe it needs a complete overhaul because the bugs simply cant be properly fixed!
I’m also finding that I can’t function the sprinter properly. Won’t power up after being set properly on some scenarios.
ive noticed on some signs on derby and Leicester stations signs are not written on on the reverse sides,
On PS5 I picked the first HST service of the day and discovered the DRA issue where I couldn't cancel it with circle and then could not get the brakes off or throttle on post emergency brake. I also noted that the TPWS over-ride does not light up when 'tabbing' through the red signal at yard exit when I made my second attempt. Then, once I got to Derby, I changed ends to go back to Nottingham and could not get the brakes off despite closing down the other cab as I have done 1,000 times before on GWE, TOTAL RAGE QUIT....... For crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just had a small chuckle re how they describe these issues in the announcement section as a "different experience". What a load of corporate gibberish. How about some plain English for once
I also noticed that, in the first journey after the introduction, you can’t enter the cab again after leaving the train. There seams to be a invisible barrier. Note that this only happened at one station, but forget which one. And sometimes passengers block the entrance to the cab.
Happy (paid) beta testing! My fingers are crossed and you have my unconditional moral support. (I goddamn know this is nothing constructive, but hell what can you still say ...)
Issues I have found so far. Speed board font is incorrect Some speed boards activate higher speed than current speed once the trains front has passed the boards Some boards are missing and some aren't activating e.g at before syston station towards Leicester at the junction, there are two speed boards one 50 and one 40. Once you pass the 50 board, the 65 mph speed limit remains. Platform clipping at Nottingham plat 1, Loughborough plat 3 Some AWS ramps will not give the chime when passed over whilst approaching green signal. Font of 158 destination board is too small. Triggering an Aws forced stop with no warning, signal ahead was clear (around a mile north of Leicester on the slow line towards Syston).
… and the graphics are very bad. The hst cab, the route.. + the crashes… Very seriously, have they tested this route on PlayStation? This is sold 35 euros! I am very disappointed.
Given all these issues on PS5, surely they’ve published the wrong build (not the first time they’ve done this).
I had a forced AWS stop in the HST that's on the PC version on steam, the graphics do look very low res on PC
I've had multiple on ps5. It's bugged. Thing is on ps5 (at least) the emergency brakes won't release, so that bug makes playing with AWS on impossible on the HST
It's really cool too that they literally delayed this route so that it could be delivered to us in the "best possible way" or whatever way they worded it, and it is completely filled with bugs that are honestly pretty unforgivable. Wipers not clearing the rain from the windows? Does no one test for this stuff? How can that possibly go unnoticed? I'm very disappointed and considering refunding yet ANOTHER TSW dlc due to bugs.
Similar issues myself with the aws etc with emergency trip regularly activating plus the crashed twice so far plus you can't sit in passenger coaches on hst plus when you press door closed on hst the rear doors don't bother to close -this also showed up on the preview stream plus both power cars and all coaches have the same running numbers on each set, mind you both power cars had the same numbers on GWE too, unless I'm mistaken no 2 power cars had the same number except in the early days when they had set numbers on each end ie 253xxx for WR and 254xxx for ER and even then the 43xxx number was different to the other end haven't tried the 158
Having read all the comments above and like myself a long suffering PS5 user, how can a DLC like Midland Main Line be released with so many bugs? 30 quid for a load of LOVE which many of us were looking forward to. It is so obvious the PS5 version was not tested properly. Take care of your customers otherwise you’ll end up with none at all.
I guarantee you it wasn't even tested at all. I've encountered so many bugs in literally the scenarios. There's only a handful of scenarios but it appears they didn't even bother playing them before release. If the bugs were only being encountered in some timetable services it would be more forgivable since there can be hundreds of them making the bugs easier to miss (Even though they STILL should test every single timetable play-through) but no, it's literally in the scenarios as well.
Its a shame really as it seems they keep taking defeat from the jaws of victory. They really need a much better QA department and to fix problems they find. People will stop buying dlc if its always like this, in fairness they probably have which I suspect they have sold the company. If they don't stop releasing stuff broke TSW will simply die
