Steam When Will You At Dovetail Get It Right Before Moving On To Other Things

Im sick to death every time i start playing this there as to be some thing wrong am i the only one that feels this way about the game.
Now i can go play classic and not have any problems but every time on TWS5 im finding error's here is another one light in the Class 153 blocking the information again looks like no ones checking theses before being put out for sale.
Can i asking DTG Matt why once we have brought dlc's we have to test them should they not be bug free before we buy them

Because bug free is not possible. Even the best of developers in tsw have bugs in their dlc. It may be much less but they won't be able to fix every single bug since it's software

 

One cent for every time i heard that same old lame excuse.

 

Well they should not put them out on sale till they do make them bug free i buy a lot of games for the PC and this as to be the worst one when it comes to being wrong after paying hard earned money other componys bring out up dates and have no problems with there dlcs what makes dovetail be any different

 

I've played a lot of other types of game, Tomb Raiders, Final Fantasys, driving games, and none of them have any had any bugs that I've been aware of. Why should it be expected to be a thing?

 

I havea sim racing rig and i play a lot of driving games like ive been told the unreal engine makes the game stutter how come it dont make other games made on it do the same all ways has to be other people and not them that are wrong with there mistakes

 

To make something bug free would mean to never release it.

No software is bug free

 

bug free is literally impossible, however it is no coincidence that all dlcs that have the "rivet touch" are worse than those of dtg itself (this is the case of wcml: london euston-milton keynes, cardiff city network, etc)

 

There’s bugs and there’s glaring visual errors which should never have made it by the 3D modeller’s eyes let alone QA through to release.

 

To make it bug free would make it too expensive for me.
Gameplay bugs are worst, visuals an irritant.
As a lowly console player I just appreciate its existence on those platforms.
I'd like it improved, obviously.

 

Not to defend DTG in any way or form, but I played Snowrunner on release at PS4 and it crashes a lot. Shortly after release it was Playstation deal of the week while it was still not fixed, it didn't feel right to people who bought it on release and still wheren't able to play it. Years later I bought it on Xbox, guess what, it crashes all the time and it took them a half year to fix it.

I also bought Farming Simulator 22 on release, it was the 1st game on my new Xbox. The game had a lot of bugs, performance issues and it took them a while to fix them.

The main issue with TSW is the fact they move on to quickly to a new version of the game, while bugs and performance issues are still not fixed. There is already a performance optimization announced for TSW6, why not bring this optimization to TSW5 before moving over to the next game.

 

You act like there aren’t artifacts everywhere in TSC
Terrible models
Terrible sounds
Missing functionality.

 

im not acting nothing im just sick as i said about parting with my cash for low level C R A P when it comes to dlcs they charge you high prices £24 plus on PC and there full of bugs which they should check before putting on sale

 

£30 for the tiny Cardiff “City” network, not much bigger than a scaled up model railway!

 

It's getting ridiculous at this point... Every time I purchase any type of DLC from this game I just brace myself for whatever glaring issue comes along with it. If you produce enough content full of bugs then your customers will expect there to be bugs on anything you put out and hesitate before purchasing. I don't know any company who wants to be known for their bugs or lack of quality control so I don't know what's going on in this case...

 

And don't forget to mention the lack of fixing bugs. DLC's released years ago are still having issues.

 

The answers are simple:

1: management give unrealistic deadlines for DLC - resulting in errors/unfinished content
2: management are happy to ship unfinished content
3: management are happy to publish poor quality third party content
4: management are happy to hide behind the community team

If the management changes, maybe we will see changes in the content.

note: when I refer to management I mean those above Matt who call the final shots.

 

Yeah which is why I feel bad when I see folks report bugs about a route that is old and forgotten because the devs are obviously overlooking it.

 

They just ignore those bugs as you read from others they have already made a bugreport long time ago.
