Again the question. Are we at some point getting the layers for Sbahn Frankfurt or are the updates for TSW5 routes done with the release of TSW6? I hope there are core optimisations for the older routes too. I wonder if we still have the blurry textures with TSW6? For me as a console player its hard to understand why DTG focused on releasing a new game and not solving the core problems from TSW5. I mean the blurry textures exist since the release of it, so just about one year now. Once I asked a question about the future of the gen 9 consoles Matt meant they are nearly there to for example enable the layers on Sbahn Frankfurt with a core update. But since then I never heard something again. So thanks for a new update for this!
To answer your question though, no we aren’t yet getting layers for gen9 & since DTG hasn’t made a song and dance about fixing the texture issue, assume that’s not been fixed either.
Yes but the question still remains. Are we at some point getting these layers? Is there activelly being worked on or is the focus full on TSW6? Frankfurt Fulda or Sbahn Frankfurt could have been such great routes but with the blurry textures and the reduced timetable its not the complete experience. We console players also payed the full price so we should get what we deserve!
As they said on release, they would love to be able add the layers but until they say otherwise consider this the final product. So reading between the lines no they aren't planning on it or actively investing in it. Until the blurry textures are fixed as that should be more of a priority. And surprise they won't be fixed at release. Us consoles players made that sacrifice when we decided to go that way. There is a reason PC players have paid more for their hardware and to be on an open platform as opposed to us who prefer closed platforms for easy plug and play. As someone put in another thread thats like being upset because your Honda doesn't go as fast as someone Mercedes. Even though you pay the same price for gas.
Ok so its our fault that we wanna play this game on a console? And yes I know the blurry textures are way more important than the layers. Are you playing on console too? Are you satisfied with the situation as it is right now?
Yes Im on Xbox Series X. And yes I am satisfied. I knew when I chose to pick console I would never be equal to what a PC player gets. How many games do you see out there that have a label of Console Edition. Because consoles have limitations PC's don't. When I first played TSW2020 on my Xbox One I never expected it to be equal in quality with PC's and never expected anything else. There is a difference in paying $700 for a console than $1600 for a computer. Just like anyone who paid less for a Series S should not have expected it to be equal to the Series X. But I also figure about half the PC players are playing at lower settings than a Gen 9 console, and if you read the forums regularly you will notice they have their own problems as well. The game is poorley optimized across the board. A point though you haven't brought up is is it fair 8th gen get only 1 train on the timetables for Dresden, and Morristown yet they still have to pay full price? There are people worse off than us. And yes I have complained about the blurry textures since the last update to TSW4 when it started. Even DM'ing Matt about it for 3 months back last Oct-Dec. I'm over 70 so PC's have passed me by technology wise and I can't be bothered changing .ini files or adding mods etc. Thats why I chose a console. Its the closest I can get to a PC without it beinga PC or costing as much. And its pretty much plug and play.
