So, We Should Be Due A Decent Patch Next Week, Right?

They've said that they have a separate team for Metro Rivals.

 

Having wrapped up on a few other things we're involved with, I have got around to relaying this. I expect it'll go out with a load of other updates in the new year

 

Vern put your engine.ini system settings as a save and delete them. put these in instead and see those dreaded veg poppins disappear!

And how does one do that on PS5??

 

I was about to say..!

The problems are not half as bad on PC even on my old potato!

 

I know but if people are having the dreaded pop in veg issue on their PC then this helps immensely. And I know a few own both PC and console.

 

I reckon we ain't getting updates or patches now until after the Christmas period.

 

Still appreciated mate. Will have a go at putting those on the PC version anyway just to see if it helps.

As regards the illusive patch, a double sided coin if held back until the New Year. Would be nothing worse if DTG are having a complete shut down after next Monday’s Reveal until the New Year to put out an update which wreaked havoc on the game but couldn’t be fixed for three weeks. The sim may not be in a great place at present but let’s not make it unusable over the holiday period!

 

Well that has already been confirmed in this thread by DTG, so....

 

Yes, and where is the patch that Alex announced on Thursday?
I haven't received any patch yet, the patch that Alex mentioned here.

I's for TSW5

 

This week or next week then surely!!?

 

Does anybody know what these core fixes will be? Sorting out the blurry textures maybe.....

 

If only...

 

Thank you,I didnt expect a reply that quick.

 

That interests me more, having never experienced blurry textures (and I'm certainly not the only one in this situation).

 

If anything right nownit will be an update of .pak files and how they load.

Which may reduce blurry textures a bit depending on what exactly they did.

But mainly it should improve performance slightly and fix the issue with PS5 not getting S bahn services on Stuttgart.

Judging from what Matt said on the stream

We still have a while for a real fix for blurry textures.

 

Are you on console? Thats who is affected the most.

I get them all the time it also ddpends on how much you have installed. I have 116 DLC installed as well and get them too frequently.

 

No, I'm on PC (a laptop).

Of course all the problems need to be solved... and there's a lot of work to be done.
But I'm not one of those who think DTG couldn't care less.
It's just that things are progressing slowly.

 

It was clear from the stream they are treating blurry textures as a priority.

 

Let's goooooooooo looking forward to it.

 

I would if it would down load lol, think steam is having issues (either that or my pc is) download and initially and now having to verify files as it wouldn’t load. I hate technology lol

 

Atleast with consoles its more simpler i think isn't it.

 

In fairness it was just the update that failed, a verfried file check and another download and I’m nearly in but thanks

 

So first run (on WCMLS with the OTS timetable - which for me is the hardest on my machine) there seems to be a noticeable improvement in FPS and performance. Around the Willesden yards I previously always dipped in to the low 20's however on this run today, it ran without dipping into the yellow at all. As long as this isnt a one off Im a satisfied customer for a change.

 

Hoping next update gives more attention to UK routes!

 

Which one of the 100 UK routes? Ahah
The U.S could use some real attention.

 

Well, for starters, B2C, which if I'm not mistaken, is still due to receive some updates. In the stream, Matt mentioned something about a team testing something on SEHS, presumably included as part of an update if it’s successful. Could be wrong but did I hear correctly some sound upgrades too? . WCML, with its countless bugs still present.

 

I think the work on SEHS was looking at the blurry texture issue.

I recall AAB did say there would be another update to B2C.
