I was looking through the sale currently running on Playstation and I saw a listing under Train Sim World 5 that had Spooorlijn-Zwolle Groningen for $26.95. However, I found that I own the TSW6 version which of course I get free. So why does the price still show under the TSW5 version? I’ve never seen that happen before. Is that supposed to happen?
If you bought it for TSW6 you only get the license for TSW6 If you'd bought it for TSW5 you'd have the license for TSW5 and TSW6 Licenses for TSW6 versions of DLC no longer backport to earlier TSW versions
Yeah, the sods! I also wasn’t happy about this as I wanted to go back and unlock the achievements in TSW5. I just wanted to add a bit of chuff chuff in the oven, whilst I knocked over a few pins in the virtual world.
Update: So I just bought the Bahnstrecke-Salzburg-Rosenheim Add-On for TSW6 on sale on the Playstation store but the store still shows the sale price for the earlier (TSW4 and TSW5) versions. In other words, it looks like I'd have to pay to buy them, though since I'm not playing TSW4 or TSW5, I guess it's not really an issue. But still, I think the game should credit you for that compatibility. It credits you up when you have already bought the lower versions then why not when you buy them for the first time? I'm thinking I should have bought the lowest version and that would have taken care of it, but I didn't know. I've written support about this, but I wanted to mention it here. If anyone from DTG is reading this, can you reply please? Thanks.
I seem to remember they explained that buying the tsw6 versions of add-ons doesn't give you the tsw1-5 versions because store holders were getting tired off setting up store entitlements. Which does beg the question why they don't want to bother a few guys at Sony, Microsoft (wait he probably got replaced by AI), Epic or Steam who's job it is to maintain the store to set up the store properly, but are fine to piss of the playerbase to redownload 100gbs of data every year, especially when at least one platform each year has issues...
They won't give a key for the earlier versions if someone purchased the DLC for TSW6. As has been mentioned above, DLC bought for TSW6 is for TSW6 only and not backward compatible with earlier versions.
Another reason why this annual release nonsense makes things overly complicated and confusing for a lot of players, especially new ones.
Tried that, as I want to unlock the Achievements which aren't supported on the TSW6 version. No joy. Despite already owning the Cardiff and Zwolle TSW6 DLC I was told to just buy the (full price) TSW5 versions of the DLC as well. Thanks, DTG. Agree 100% - yet another consequence of chasing new customers at the expense of existing players.
