    I am about to buy lugwidsbahn , but my pc is pretty low end.
    Dresden hbf gives me around 15 fps, Koln hbf around 22 fps, and hamburg hbf around 17 fps.
    Can I run Lugdwidgsbahn ( Idk If I spelled it good) ?
    And if not, can you guys tell me a good dlc with the 111 or 110 because I really like that locomotive but I dont have it yet....

    You need to tell us what your PC specs are particularly GPU. Be aware though, due to less than ideal optimisation even top end hardware can struggle with the game.

    GTX1050 will struggle. I’m on a GTX1650 and while it chugs away bravely I gave up trying to run at 4K and now set at 1440p with most routes holding at 30 FPS. For WCMLoS had to drop down to 1080p and put through Lossless Scaling to get better performance.

    In my experience, newer routes have worse performance than older routes. If you're already struggling with Dresden, Köln or Hamburg (from older DLC), I doubt Ludwigsbahn will do well, although I do not own the route myself.

    Might want to consider Linke Rheinstrecke for the BR110. I personally experience no performance issues on that route.

    sorry for not saying, but 167 fps is my good for me, so long there are no freezes.
    btw dovetail needs to upgrade the peformance lol

    167 FPS is insane for even the highest of specs I'd think lol

    Although I do agree with your last statement, I have to say i think you need to upgrade your GPU at some point as it isn't all that great in 2025. I also play on an RX570 and performance isn't the best but I understand that my GPU is old and not as compatible for TSW.

    There's always going to be freezes. I've bought a pretty good new PC not too long ago which runs every game smooth, but still getting freezes in TSW. Some routes worse than others though, but no route is totally freeze-free in my experience.

    On Ludwigsbahn, you can expect similar performance to Nahverkehr Dresden, with Ludwigshafen and Mannheim being probably even worse than Dresden Hbf.

    The best implementation of BR 111 is Mittenwaldbahn easily (and adds a whole lot of other interesting rolling stock), but it's limited to low speeds there. You would have to get Linke Rheinstrecke and E94 pack to get a proper use of it.

    On Salzburg - Rosenheim you will get it too and can use it for high speed regional expresses without additional requirements, but it feels to me that this version is a little less perfect tuned.

    BR 110 you can get on Linke Rheinstrecke and Bremen - Oldenburg, but I never found that model to be particularly outstanding.

    On my old PC i5-7500 GTX 1060 6Gb Linke Rheinstrecke always struggled.
    It is really strange how performance works in this game

    IIRC you said you don’t use my lighting and graphics EP but with that, and since DTG made recent improvements, the game is entirely stutter free for me. Admittedly my PC is ‘high-end’ but then I push it hard and it remains smooth.

    Everyone's mentioned the 1050, but the CPU is "dead" too for a modern gaming.
