    This week, we continue the rollout of Patches that we outlined in Community posts last week, following the release of the WCML: Birmingham - Crewe Add-on.

    What to expect and when?
    Tuesday 28th Oct, from 11am GMT:
    WCML: Birmingham - Crewe Hot Fixes (PlayStation & Xbox)

    [​IMG]


    Players on PlayStation and Xbox should soon be seeing updates aiming to improve crashing at Crewe, reduce texture blurriness, layering issues and implement Train Faults.

    As a reminder, this update should also include:
    • Added Train Faults
    • Improved optimisation at Crewe to reduce crashes and minimise texture blurring. However, we are still continuing to work on texture issues so blurring may still be seen on some consoles.
    • This improvement may also help reduce crashes for scenarios starting in Crewe, but our teams are still reviewing.
    • Fixed issues with ex-LM liveries causing texture blurring on consoles.
    • Fixed an issue where layer requirements were incorrectly set (preventing some players using those layers – notably for the Class 220).
    • Removed floating scenery on the approach to Stafford from Birmingham.
    This patch rolled out at 11am GMT on Tuesday 28th October. It may take up to 24 hours for the patch to become available on your systems.

    Tuesday 28th Oct, from 2pm GMT:
    Train Sim World 6: Core Update (all platforms)
    plus, WCML: Birmingham - Crewe Hot Fixes (Steam & Epic)


    [​IMG]


    From 2pm, players on Steam and Epic will receive the above update for WCML: Birmingham - Crewe.
    In addition, a Core update is being pushed featuring the following highlights for all platforms:

    • Fixed profile transferring for PS4 players.
    • Fixed Train Faults so they no longer occur every couple of seconds.
    • Fixed an issue causing announcements to miss certain station names. Some announcements are still missing, but we are continuing to implement these.

    [​IMG]


    Specific improvements to Train Sim World 6 Core routes include:

    • Announcement fixes and improvements for Morristown Line
    • Riviera Line trains added to Formation Designer
    • DB BR 294 Journey Mode no longer showing empty services

    [​IMG]


    As well as the following highlights for other Train Sim World routes:

    • Class 220 Voyager services for the Class 170 Birmingham Cross-City timetable
    • Class 220 Voyager services for Manchester Airport Commuter
    • Scenery and lighting improvements for Manchester Airport Commuter
    • Sprinter timetable and more ScotRail Class 158 Levenmouth services for Fife Circle Line
    • On Board Announcements for the Class 158 and Class 170 DMUs on Fife Circle Line

    [​IMG]


    You can read the full Patch Notes over on our Forums.

    This patch rolled out at 2pm GMT on Tuesday 28th October. As with the first patch, it may take up to 24 hours for the patch to become available on your systems.

    Things don't stop there! We outlined our plans for further patches in an announcement last week and will give further updates on future patches at a later time.

    This will include further core improvements from feedback following TSW6’s release, and a wider range of improvements for the Birmingham-Crewe route.

    We hope this clarity helps you understand the timeline of when you can expect improvements, and our goals for how we ensure the content is the best experience possible.

    We thank you for your patience and understanding, and we hope you continue to enjoy Train Sim World 6 and WCML: Birmingham - Crewe whilst we bring you these updates.

    Great patch! One small issue i have found with the 802 is that the bi-mode function does not work properly. But fife circle timetable, TSW6-ing MAC and all other updates are fantastic!

    Once again, no love for existing older routes and vehicles. No updates for Ludwigsbahn, no updates for Mittenwald, and also none for the E94 pack.
    It's a disgrace. :(

    I'll take a gander at the 802 issue. What isn't working properly on it?

    (Also what's your platform?)

    I dont understand if there are so much texture and performance issues on the birmingham to crewe line why not do extensive testing before releasing the DLC ? we paid full price for the DLC but in return got an untested version .... full of bugs , performance issues , texture issues and even gameplay issues some timetable services completely broken ( SPAD bug) ? this is just not acceptable!

    I am sorry I just checked. Basically, CAB A (both 5 car and 9 car), The Bi-mode function works perfectly. Switches as its supposed to.

    I play on *PS5*

    From CAB B, its impossible to switch to diesal from electric. All yoiuget is the quiet idle engine sound (like when you're in electric mode with diesel engine on) and it does not draw power from it.

    I thought it might be something I was doing wrong, but it works fine from CAB A.

    Thanks so much for the reply.

    (This happens when spawned under OHLE)
    When I spawned on non-OHLE track in SEHS, I was able to switch from diesal to electric well but the engine wouldn't switch off. Not as much of an issue as it still works. :)

    Hello DTG Harry
    With regards to the Fife circle line, I've been playing on xbox series x.
    The new timetable is showing, but it appears to still have the old class 170 sounds (with running sounds that cut out), there also doesn't seem to be any announcements either from both the class 170 or 158

    Thank you for letting me know. I'll investigate this for you.

    Out of curiosity, as I'm also investigating another issues, how have textures been for you on Fife Circle?

    Ok - did you have the update? Going to check up on the sound issue! I know that seems silly to ask as you have the timetable, but just want to check an update has definitely gone through.

    Also what layers do you have installed?

    Since there hasn't been an official DTG reply, I went and checked, and I can see the answer is "no".

    I note it says the frequency of faults has been fixed, does this extend to the issue of faults occuring when set to disabled?

    Yep got the update through, it's updated the sounds on both the XC and LWM class 170, it just seems to be the scot rail 170 that hasn't, along with not adding announcements to the scot rail 170 and 158.

    The only layer I haven't got installed is the express freight DLC.

    On Manchester airport route in class 220 it seems all the services that start with 1M headcode don’t work
    It randomly spawns u on station not in cab
    Which means there’s 27 services that don’t work correctly
    Ps5 version

    I'm really happy to see the improvement with the 170, particularly the audio fixes. Thank you!

    Looking forward to the 171 now!

    For me, things have been made much worse by today's patches. Playing on PS5 I played the Manchester Airport route service 1V38 Manchester to Carmarthen 09.29. TFW 153. On leaving Manchester Picadilly the textures became extremely blurry. A Virgin pendolino was heading into Manchester. The frame rate got so low and then the PS5 crashed. This is the first time the console has ever crashed. Next I tried the Fife circle route, service 2K61 Edinburgh waverly to Leven using the 158 Leven livery. The textures were so bad both in the cab and outside I had to give up! Is it just me or have things been made worse by today's patches? I've never had such severe blurring until now.

    I play on seiries x, did a run from haymarket depot and then the subsequent service to Dundee as far as Markinch [5L21/1L21] no issue. However I had a look at the map down in Edinburgh and noticed what looked like a pendilino leaving the station (Time for some railfanning). A quick teleport back to watch it leaving instantly gave me blurry textures

    Is anyone else missing DLC after today's update? I seem to be missing the Scotsman, the RHTT 66, the ROG 37, West Cornwall, Blackpool - Preston, Northern Transpennine, Peak Forest and both Boston routes. I'm on PS5 Pro. I only noticed when looking at the the layer selector on the new Fife timetable and it said I didn't have the layers for Scotsman and the 66.

    Same with the ones I've tried so far. Looks like anything going TO the airport spawns on foot at random stations.

    I had the same issue today (PS5) with the Class 87 and complete Birmingham to Crewe route disappearing from my game. Here’s how I fixed it:

    Restored the license of the game. This fixed the Class 87 disappearing but not Birmingham to Crewe. I deleted the route from my PlayStation, re installed it, restored the license again and that worked.

    Hope it helps, cheers

    PS5. Not mentioned in the notes for core fixes, but they fixed the timetable bug. Now when chaining services, the subsequent service has the correct timetable. Thank you DTG for fixing this!!

    Also, saved and reloaded on a Morristown local run and the progress and objectives loaded correctly. Hopefully this works on other routes too!

    BR294 still hasn't fixed its safety system points. When can we expect a fix? I understand everyone is busy with the new route right now. However, I wouldn't want a repeat of the BR193 DB red, which had the same problem. Will anyone pay attention to this?

    On PS5 the 158 announcements don't say the station names on Fife Circle.

    So for example "This is the service to.... calling at....if you see anything suspicious"

    This one is interesting. The last time I had this issue on my own PC, it resolved after I restarted the game. Is this still showing as an issue for you after a restart?

    (Sorry - I know it's a little 'turn it on and off again' but just wondering if it's a blip. If not, I'll get a ticket raised!)

    I found out that after yesterday's update, when the service is started and the default state is in Diesel Mode, the pantograph is also raised, and it doesn't matter if the locomotive is as a driver, or if it is at the end of the train and is controlled by a cabcar. If the given train is controlled by AI, for example if a person is following it in foot mode, it behaves correctly. Especially in Hoboken it is funny, because you are standing at the platform under the roof and you have the pantograph raised .... and at the same time the engines are started ... that was really something that was done excellently

    Doesn't the DB BR 193 still have that problem even now? I don't think it was ever fixed. Therefore, I doubt they will fix the 294 either. Why would they?
