PC Epic Games Losing Most Dlc [update: Not Anymore]

Not to comment on anything new but.. are we going to get any news on the phases past October 14th soon? It's now less than a week away from Phase 2 of the DLC releases but we haven't heard anything from them.. hoping we get some news soon.

(Just saw the layer capability for WCML Birmingham and it would be nice to have those extra layers in as soon as possible...)

Maybe they might have something to say during the roadmap stream...? I don't know but hopefully they have something new to tell us.

 

Yeah it would be nice to hear some further details about this. It seems there have been further hiccups with Epic Games with the TSW2 core routes entitlements not being granted right away. Also two of the add-ons that were supposed to available on day one seem to be missing, Koln-Aachen and Nahverkehr Dresden.

Looks like just in the last two hours they added those entitlements, my add-ons total went up by four. Oddly Koln-Aachen and Nahverkehr Dresden still don't show in the store for TSW6 but clearly they are making some progress.

Likewise, High Iron stated in a comment on facebook that the ATSF pack will have its release date announced on the roadmap which is due in the next 14 hours or so, would be nice to get Sherman Hill to port over so layers can be seen (played?) on release

Can also confirm the stuff that was compatible and showing in my library yet not in game did install correctly and now show up as well.

Baby steps...

 

I have LIRR Commuter but it doesn't get installed. Is anyone else with this problem?

 

Okay, so we got an answer on the roadmap stream about the Epic thing, they said they are expecting to get everything back in by the end of the free starter pack period, which is November 11th. So that's the date everyone that wanted to know when, it's any time before November 11th. Hopefully that helps.

By then, I think I would have layers on all future routes announced (maybe temporarily WCML Birmingham would be less only for like 2 weeks though, not a big deal I suppose) so that's good to hear.

But once again, I will only believe it once I see it.

Means I've got around a month for me to keep playing my collection on TSW 5 (which I am doing so temporarily right now until all the DLC get added to TSW 6), so yeah. I expect to fully get onboard to TSW 6 once all the DLC arrive.

 

Is there a rough time stamp for this to look for?

EDIT: seems like 1:09:15 is that segment start "we aim to get all of the compatible content out to epic players before the end of the free starter pack, so before November 11th"- JD

 

Unfortunately... seems like even though the two phases released... there's still DLC that doesn't show up which is frustrating... it should be fixed honestly. It's these:

- Mildmay Line
- Maintalbahn
- Mittenwaldbahn
- MBTA HSP46 Providence Line Pack
- Both Thomas DLC (including the 80th anniversary one)

I almost always have to contact someone about this because it's not the first time I've faced issues like this, I did this in TSW 5 too which is annoying, even when they are released, problems like these come up where they're not installed or fail to show up. They should really try to mitigate and fix these issues when future phases release, and of course, fix these add-ons right now that aren't showing up. Quite frustrating, honestly. Should be really on the team to carefully check before the DLC is released so issues like these don't happen.

 

Honestly I’m so confused why they picked certain DLCs over others for the batch system

 

I too still do not have the HSP46 addon for Boston Sprinter, which seems to be a documented issue here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/train-sim-world-6-platform-entitlement-status.94159/
I assume you have checked the "manage addons" page to make sure the other content is installed?

 

Mhm, that's how I knew which add-ons were not showing up. Everything else on that list was fine to my knowledge. But why this happens in the first place is quite irritating... hopefully I don't have to contact them again after the rest of the DLC release..

 

Today, it seems like the Thomas DLC, Maintalbahn, and HSP46 packs are now showing up for me in the game. However, the Mildmay Line and Mittenwaldbahn have yet to be fixed since those still have problems.

And once again, I patiently await until the rest of the 60+ DLC arrive in the next phase so that I can get all of my layers back.

 

New update: Looks like we're getting somewhat of an exact date, since the FAQ was just updated, of when to expect the remaining add-ons to release: It will be around the week of 3rd November, so very soon, which is great news!

 

How about next time, instead of releasing a new game that causes problems like this every single year, we fix the existing game?

 

Knowing DTG... keeping the same game without releasing new editions every year is unlikely or never going to happen... as much as I hate saying that, I wish that were the case too that they stick with the same game and continue to fix the everlasting problems, especially if new editions cause problems like these. At least they should keep this fix for Epic Games going forward so that it never happens again.

But who knows, maybe they'll reconsider their business model knowing the fiasco that happened with Epic this year. We'll just have to wait and see, I suppose.

It could also be an Epic problem as well, but we don't have full confirmation of whose fault it is, but what matters is that something like this doesn't happen again, that's all I'm hoping for.

 

great spot! checked the other day and hadn't noticed any changes, ill finally (hopefully) be able to uninstall 5

 

Indeed, just hoping that I don't have to contact support again if DLC is not showing up in game and is installed and/or fails to install... hopefully everything works once it releases.
