    Logically it should all play nicely and am not anticipating any problems. Pleased to hear that’s the case.

    The Godmode menu is not always working for me, but the superzoom, and as far as I can tell the ini settings are loading.

    What do you mean "finally", the game has been out for half a day. Also, sounds really rude, he does it for free. We are lucky if he does it in the first place

    Yesterday I decided to try Godmode on TSW6. After installing the mod, the game froze on startup.
    Please confirm or deny that the mod works in the new version of the game. Or am I doing something wrong?

    I'm installing the Godmodе pak, Engine Ini, and Godmod Sav.

    It actually truly isn't.

    Godmode works for me, but will need an update to work with the new routes, doesnt crash but not available on a new route with the current version - as is the norm when a new route is released if I recall correctly.

    sometimes the old godmode makes the game crash so it is better to wait for a new version

    I’ve taken this from a reply I made to a comment on TSC.

    As for TSW6 it will depend entirely on when / if GodMode makes it across. I’m hoping that it’s a simple case of reinstalling the mod into the new game, but I will have to make up presets for the new routes once the game is out and GodMode is actually available.

    I appreciate very much that you all find the mod as indispensable as I do, but I can’t really mod a game that isn’t actually out yet, or that requires a mod that hasn’t been made yet. When I can, rest assured I will :)

    The only mod I have installed so far is this one on signals. I will wait for the new God Mode and other to be redone.

    That is great news! Thank you for your continuous effort in keeping the mod updated. I still have wet dreams about the day when DTG will adopt this mod and bake the changes into the routes and engine. That would be such a huge change for the stock graphics of the game and people that do not mod the game including console players, it would be similar to going from TOD3 to 4.

    When I use lossless scaling with TSW6, it causes me to lose my mouse in game. Anyone else with this issue?

    And, thank you, Jetwash, for all of your excellent mods!

    I copied all my existing mods over and have had no crashes or other weird behavior. I can't guarantee they all work, but it appears that 6 made no changes to the game code most mods use.

    with godmode plus jetwash mod the game will crash at boston station (boston providence MBTA Providence #832 inbound)
    at certain points
    its not the ini code from the godmodesave because if i copy that part into engine.ini the crash did not happen

    crash will not happen now that i removed tmSpikeesCabCamFixesTSW5.pak

    Everything's fine, everything works. I forgot to connect the DX12 and had trouble starting it.
    Once again, I was convinced how much better the picture quality is with these settings compared to the default.

    There's just one drawback: this mod and Priset are crushing my system; it's running at its limits with no safety margin for the future.

    So many people will rush to the absolute highest possible settings that are in no way tuned for their system specs.

    I remember checking one friend's PC setup one time when they were asking about possible hardware upgrades, and realising they always picked the ultra settings on every game and nothing was running higher than about 12fps

    TSW has a problem with lighting since the first game, but don't modify the default r.ToneMapperGamma, r.Color.Max, r.Color.Mid or r.Color.Min, that will destroy the dynamic range losing all details in the sky and creating some 100% black shadows. Try using ReShade for minimum adjustments.

    That's what i do, a combination of reshade HDR, levels, sharpening and the RTGI plugin, trying to get the balance in contrast is the main struggle i find, u can get ground lighting to look really good, but it tends to cause the sky to look over exposed, but that's PC life the eternal struggle against just tinkering that little bit more :)

    think your goin to have your work cut out for you with the Riviera line mate, not sure what they did but wet surfaces are way to shiny and bright, to the point you loose texture detail at anything other than close by, and cab lighting really needs another look by the devs, oh and ignore the the glass roofs that seem to allow rain to pass :-P but i am looking forward to you performing your magic on this route, once godmode gets updated (and i won't mention the hazard lights on the back of the 220 at night instead of tail lights) but overall DTG seems to be trying to up there game since JT released there routes, its good to see.

    Is there a way to make the colors of the signal aspects stand out more? I should be able to read them like 3/4 of a mile away. I shouldn't have to wait until I'm nearly right on top of them.

    The old Engine.ini didn’t work for the new Routes, because the Trees and Bushes always plopping in or changing the color
