PS5 Lirr Commuter Instability

On several occasions while driving on the LIRR commuter route The game just crashes on prompted. It's happened while doing routes inbound towards Atlantic terminal, and particularly on routes heading into Penn station around the train yard. I am using a PS5.

 

What was the weather like when the game went down? I always get the LIRR 2.0 game down when it's raining.

 

I'm also having crashing problems. I've sent a multitude of error reports using #forDTGreview. This has been happening since it came out in April. It is now June going into July. I downloaded all the updates for the core and individual dlc's but still no fix for LIRR. Every journey scenario it's always raining. What are you doing to resolve this issue. Not to mention I spent 40.00 US dollars for something that is virtually unplayable. I remember playing the Harlem line and it took DTG 6 months to finally correct the errors in that particular DLC. How is it that DTG can provide updates for all the European trains but not the U.S. what's the problem?

 

The core updates are divided by region. UK, DE and US. The next update will be the US update but it is unknown when it will come other than summer time which should fix things. Dtg decided a few months back to cut back on updates to provide more substantial ones

 

So, the US core update came out today. In hope that the crashes on LIRR would be fixed I’ve downloaded it and tested it on train 28 from ny penn to Babylon. Surprise… it still crashes around Jamaica station. Kind of disappointing to be honest

 

As usual, that's DTG motto, they fix UK stuff asap including the dlcs that JUST came out...US content is always the backburner for DTG.. I'm not surprised at this LIRR 2.0 fiasco lmao.

 

Controller scheme : Classic controls

Well it's good to know that they're still good people here reporting unresolved issues. I would just like to add confirmation to this post as I have already reported July 9th 2024. I found crashing to occur only when using rain/snow/thunderstorms/snowstorms but if you avoid using any of those or something like Clear weather you should not crash and Be OK, You're also going to one to put custom weather instead of dynamic weather that way it doesn't just start raining out of the blue lol. I also would like to add that there is no specific service that continually crashes I've tested a variety of different services and occurs on each and every one of them that I decide to put winter snowstorms on which will provide a picture below! Another thing to keep in mind avoid journey mode/scenarios for now until the issue is resolved because there are some snowstorms/rainy thunderstorms and if you select the wrong one of those which would automatically make your game Crash in one of those.​

Service For a Long Island railroad version 2.0 :
Train 2012 New York Penn Station to
Ronkonkoma/Hicksville 44 minute service
As highlighted in the picture below!
Train M7

Soon as the mission starts I first turn on the master key, Then put the reverser Into forward. I Then open the right side doors, turn off my marker lights and turn on my headlights to dim. I then wait for confirmation to close the doors . Once prompted to close the doors, I do Then close the doors and proceed to my next objective/next stop which is Jamaica station, Hillside facility, Mineola and Last stop Ronkonkoma/Hicksville.



I have had my Reddit moderation team test on Xbox/PC and can confirm that the issue is "PlayStation only"And hope to see this Issue resolve at some point. The crashing occurs halfway at Sunnyside and sometimes even before reaching Jamaica station like many have been mentioning. I recommend using the exact weather settings I have to easily produce unfortunate crashing.

 

This is not the only bug i can confirm! New York Penn is also buggy with stuck trains. Train leaves to the stable place and get stuck from a train to Penn and block the traffic. Its never fixed since release.

 

This bug is known and a quick fix for this bug is to delete the train that's clogging up your path. I made a quick fix video for this the day of release.

be sure to read the description! For anyone new to TSW4 To fix the Trains piling up at Penn Station not allowing you to finish the service all you have to do Is[Pull out your map using the touchpad on PlayStation or Xbox and go to the first train that is blocking the entrance to Penn station and when you select the train You will be prompted to "Remove train"once you remove the train blocking the path all other train traffic ahead of you will start to fix itself. I do want to mention that as soon as you delete that specific train blocking your path your character will stand up out of the seat every time you delete A train but don't worry you will not fail the service, all you have to do is sit back down in your seat while the train traffic starts moving ahead of you!



The video I show the manual way of deleting trains but highly recommend using the map as it's more simple and quicker to do!

 

Nice but with journey mode this will not work

 

Lol that's right. Free roam and I believe journey mode you will not be able to utilize that feature.

 

I've got also troubles with LIRR; playing on PS4. This has been happening since it came out in April.
Everytime in timetable mode the game will crash around Jamaica, especially when driving to New York Penn or to Atlantic Terminal.
It is very disappointing because it's a very nice route, but I can't play this one anymore because the issue and need to play another one.
I hope they will fix this.

 

Can you do that on consoles?

 

I just completed this on PS5 with no issues.

 

Yes it works on ps5 &happens on services from long beach to ny
Penn

 

This route is still pretty much unplayable on PS5. Just tried a run from journey mode train 1616 from NY Penn to Huntingdon. Got as far as Jamaica. On leaving just after clearing the 15mph restriction game crashed to PS5 main menu. Even tried deleting a couple of trains from the map but this seems to make no difference.

This route came out more than 6 months ago and has still not received any notable fixes for the crashing issues people are experiencing. Will probably be left on the shelf to gather dust like most routes. The usual DTG 'fire and forget' and 'we'll fix stuff later' business model.

 

That's DTG for you when it comes to US routes as usual lol.. they don't care bout the US routes and players
