Hello, Given the constant chatter seen in the forum of certain services that can't be completed, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to consolidate a thread here on which services should be avoided as they cannot be completed? Perhaps something along the lines of: Game Version: (TSW2020, 2, 3, 4) Route Name: Route or Scenario Name: I figured a consolidated list would help people to avoid wasting hours of time playing a service that could not be completed anyhow.
Appreciate your idea. But the paying beta testers have reported these all over the forums. It's DTG's job to collate the info, I'm out.
Yeah I see your point, but I would see this more of a user to user help section as company to user help is fairly non existent.
If DTG don't listen to their official threads, I very much doubt they'll listen to one like this. But... anyone having issues with SEHS, specifically a crash at Stratford or Ashford with the Javelin (both timetables).
No, I didn't mean this as a thread where DTG would look at it and fix things (we already know they won't). The idea is from a user to user perspective that you can note down and avoid starting a run that you know you can't complete. Figured it would help the enjoyment of the game if people can avoid the broken stuff. Incidentally it would be a nice option to be able to delete broken runs from your game so that all you're left with are the ones that can be completed
After the update to TSW3, I tried the DB 143 intro again. The red light was indeed gone and passable and I made it past Priestwitz. But after the emergency brake test, the brakes would not completely release, so for me this one is still un-finishable.
There’s a fairly good list of them here https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/services-scenarios-in-which-gold-cannot-be-achieved.60609/
All the DB BR 442 services on Koln Aachen in timetable mode are undriveable, as the train formation spawns without pantographs, meaning you can't take power to move. It has been like this since the TSW3 release. Epic Games on PC.
Game Version: TSW2 Route Name: Boston Sprinter Scenario Name: Amtrak Northeast Regional #66 (Boston - Depot) Result: Derail when scenario puts you into a wall
Game Version: TSW2 Route Name: Sand Patch Grade Scenario Name: Powering America (Part 2) Result: Derail along the route
They still haven't fixed that? The workround is to go off the defined route and enter the carriage shed from the rear but it's a joke that stuff like this is just left hanging.
He said it was TSW2 I just tried this one on TSW4 and was sent up the track next to the carriage shed rather than into it Its fixed now StrikeEagle78, you can buy TSW4 now
Oh I know this one was fixed with TSW3 / 4. Merely pointing out the scenarios that are unplayable / to avoid under current conditions. My idea was to have this kind of thread as a helpful list instead of wasting time attempting to complete something that will never work.
Theres 1 specific london victoria - epsom service that doesnt put in the master key or the do the reverser so it cant move.. i learnt this the hard way when taking a service from Victoria CHS to Victoria before heading to reigate on the way back as I got to battersea park there was massive traffic as the epsom service hadnt moved. Trains were delayed in excess of 90 minutes on both the fasts and slows.. I had to take my camera to victoria to glitch into the train and turn it on . Another instance on a brighton train I got stopped just outside Thornton Heath and had to go all the way to victoria just to fix it ffs, delays are fun
Someone might check G6 services G6-Sh04 and Sh05 on RRO. Broken in #2 and #3. I´d not be surprised if they still continue undriveable.
IIRC Maik stated previously he had fixed these but DTG for whatever reason are sitting on them, for years now.
Yep, I remember that one. Together with the broken G6 tail lights (which worked fine in TSW2 but didn´t like #3 for some reason). It´s been a while ...... yeah.
Thank you, Bradley. I will give it a try later but if so they must have slipped it through without a reference in patch notes.
That's not the same thing. That's for services where you can't achieve gold medals. OP is asking about services that can't be completed at all. I have a few that i'll list in due time. Here's one i'll list now: Game: Train Sim World 2 Route: Great Western Express Service: 2R49 from London Paddington to Reading Issue: Service crashes before starting
Just to confirm and I reposted in the troubleshooting section, Sh05 is still broken at the point of the final shunt where the ground signal gives two white lights but still registers a SPAD as you push your train past.
This is a good idea for a thread, StrikeEagle78. Will you be able to collect the responses into the first post for ease of reference?
Good thread, but i think it should be named "broken services and walkarounds" to actually have a use. Sometimes spawning on foot helped to prevent red signal bugs etc, so why not combining the thread. Sure there are some of them which require a fix and dont have a quick solution. Its highly unlikley dtg will use this comments as checklist for fixing. They lost control somewhat of their mess that its hopeless currently anyway.
