What's the deal with tracks pop in on San Bernardino? I turned of the stream because it was unbearable to watch. Instead of the track shadow we get the track pop in? Your route can look as nice as you want but if the world in front of you just pops in you still have bad looking route
Absolutely agree, I thought the shadow pop-in was terrible, worse than ever, the new track shadowing wasnt working on plain track in places, despite what we were being told, and shadows of the cars on the freeway combined with the lighting made them look like they were floating or wheel-less. I stopped watching after an hour, shadowing popping in right in your near view is so distracting, a real turn off quite frankly.
It looked a bit strange, the rails have been solved, now the beddings give the strange effect Switches also not included yet, but i'm sure they are working on it
But at times the rail shadow was still popping in, on plain track (as well as the ballast strip shadow you mention), it just looked worse than TSW4’s shadowing at times
This stream really showed me how much inconsistency my brain can process. This route really needs optimising. I think I only watched 15 minutes of the stream before I could not handle any longer. I checked back in after an hour or so. The camera was in helicopter view and noticed stuff like parked cars pop in when the cockpit was already passed. That's just wasted scenery when it pops in behind you and adds to the load of scenery that still needs to pop in on front of you. So that's all I saw of the route.
Oh, is there a problem with a new TSW route, that never happens does it? Like there's more things wrong?
I don't know what you are talking about. Until yesterday they always showed flawless routes and then this happens #sarcasm
If the core is rotten, you’re not going to buy the apple no matter how tasty it looks. And if we’re talking apples, WCML South is a bland Golden Delicious. SBO might elevate to Granny Smith, tasty but a bit tart which leaves the German route to hit the Pink Lady spot.
Perhaps you need to get a pc AntwerpCentral.. (Hopefully you know me well enough to know Im teasing with a cheeky grin)
Oh ok, this was the PS4 preview? This was not the PC version shown? Pfew! Now I get the poor performance. Must admit it looked very impressive on PS4 #sarcasm
Dtg have addressed the problem on a few routes. It's not perfect but alot better. Hopefully you won't have to wait that long. That is of course, if you buy it.
Than it will be a sale. I know how long it takes DTG to patch stuff and if they are this far behind it might take a long time. The WCML did not look bad to me but not really impressive enough to pre order. This route I presumed would be boring but good looking. If Frankfurt fails to impress I'm out until things get patched. Most of the time I don't notice much of what is being complained about and I get that that is because I'm not familiar with those routes but when I even start to notice stuff going wrong it means we are looking at a beta. I start to understand the anger with TSW 5
I've still got it pre ordered. I can get it on gamepass tbh, but I doubt it will come with all the routes for layers. Dtg have you by the balls whatever way you look at it.
I really don’t understand how Dovetail Games aren’t embarrassed by the appalling quality of this game. Every year I hope for innovation and every year it just seems to be a lazy slight rejig with the same short routes. I really wish there was more competition and maybe Matt and the DTG team would get their act together and listen to feedback and release something half decent! Another huge let down and missed opportunity
