Gwe Remaster: Appreciation And Discussion Thread

I just think some people need to learn how to read the room. Considering the amount of effort, which has gone into this remaster and some of the rubbish Liam has had to put up with. I do find it disrespectful to immediately post “Still got blurry textures” or “how do I stop this update from downloading as I don’t want to waste my memory on it”. Get a grip!.

 

Yes! Getting the same bug, and a crash every time I approach Acton Yard. What the heck is an RVM?

 

I was watching Matts stream just now, and a Chiltern livery '165' just turned up at Paddington on the Parliamentary service (aka Ghost train). That was a surprise and a half!

 

Incredible work.
Congratulations to all those involved!
not experienced any issues on Xbox Series X either.

 

To be honest I agree. I don't have the blurry textures anymore but I was dealing with it over a year ago on my old pc so I do understand. However I wish people wouldn't try to overshadow the great work that has happened here with this remaster because of a core issue with the game. Surely people can give it a rest just in this thread and be thankful for the free update, its clear a lot of work went into this. The route and timetable is honestly so good now, I haven't played this much train sim of any kind in ages.

 

Now doing a stopper up from Reading to Paddington, lovely.

Am I correct in thinking the 166 got updated sounds? Certainly seems that way to my ears, better than the original.

The announcements are a nice touch too.

 

Excellent work by Liam, thank you very much. Seems to run more smoothly than the original despite all the extra services.

 

Not speaking for everyone, but some people really need to show some appreciation to Liam and the contributors who helped make this remaster happen.
Some people who complain actually contribute to the positives from the remaster, then there people who fiat out just list all the negatives (core issues), which are out of Liam’s and other 3PD’s control.

 

Very nice indeed, took an HST down to Reading and then on the cushions back to Paddington. Well done all involved, top marks.

 

Jinxed myself - did a 350 Heathrow Express service and the game was struggling with blurry textures which didn’t exist during the other five services I did.

Nobody will convince me that the 350 isn’t an issue in this game - it plagues every route it’s on with serious issues.

Routes it’s not on (Riveria for example) I’ve personally never had the blurry texture issue.

 

I'm on Series S and the 350, 484 and 72 Stock (which seems to layer in from WCML(S), as I don't have the Bakerloo Line on Xbox) all appear for me.

 

Very nice attitude

 

That's probably just coincidence. I was able to get rid of my texture issues by reducing it to GWE Content (66, 165/166, HST) + 350 + 158 + 1972TS

Getting rid of things like the Southern layer can help the problem with minimal loss to the gameplay.

On the flipside - I have texture issues on Cathcart where I have the 350 disabled; and the blurring starts the moment that a 390 spawns in.

I am in awe with the remaster. Really enjoyed playing it, thank you Liam!!

The only thing that threw me off a bit was hearing the on board announcements whilst driving the HST. Easily resolved by turning off the announcement, but it would be nice to have an option to between on and off, where you can hear the announcement if on a train like the 387, 165, ect. but if you are in a loco like the HST you won't hear any.

It's a very small issue that doesn't detract from the main gameplay, so I give it a 10/10!!!!

 

I can't remember the exact name - but there's a setting in the options along the lines "Cab Announcements" - turn this off and you won't hear them in the HST.

 

As someone who has this problem on XBox (as mentioned above), again I say this thread isn’t the place to remind DTG of this though. Everyone on these forums complains about using Discord, but by putting posts like this in a thread dedicated to talking about GWE Remaster, it’s not helping the cause and is just getting lost in a thread about some great work done by Liam.

If we can’t keep our threads targeted to the actual purpose of the title, we might as well move onto Discord because it’s much easier to search than trying to decipher where these types of comments are in any of the forum threads. Plus putting it in here gives DTG moderators the excuse to say they don’t see it because it’s hidden in a completely different thread (not that they would but just saying it’s easier to make that excuse).

I’m done talking about this here as I’d rather use the 20 other threads talking about it so I can read and ask questions about things specifically related to GWE Remaster here. So let’s keep it targeted to that and air our grievances about them in the other threads so we don’t give any excuse for DTG to say that they haven’t seen anyone asking for updates about the issue.

 

Its likely spikees cab cam mod - I tracked that as the cause for me.

 

I need to try this on my Series X. On the S it’s still nice, but a lot of stuttering in the main areas like Paddington. Which to be clear is not a route issue, more of a power issue of the Series S. Have plenty of problems like this on it but not on my Series X where they are smooth and crisp. Looking forward to trying it on there so I can truly appreciate it!

 

Blown away by this remaster. Really a fantastic job!

 

Absolutely fantastic so far. I'm not sure if this right place for feedback, but the split distant on the up slow just before Heathrow Junction seems to have unnecessary AWS activation when clear.

 

Nice job, Liam and colleagues - looks and runs great on my XBOX Series X when driving, although I'm getting stuck on the scenery in Guard Mode and can't move around the train very easily.

Seeing lots of trains coming the other way which is nice!

 

operator#7940 Thank you for supporting the point I was trying to make.

PS: great work Liam, cheers.

 

It really does look amazing, great job. Been holding off playing the classic version for a couple of years now knowing the updated version was coming, and loading in at Paddington the updated lighting and overall look and feel was striking! Route so alive as well, really is spectacular jumping back in after all this time!
No blurring on ps5 pro so far for me; only “issue” I think I’ve noticed is the 166 having engine clipping at top speed. Not sure if this was a thing before, but regardless very impressed and agree with overall sentiment that these remasters really do breathe new life into older routes.

also hoping we get a 387 paid dlc down the line, but presumably on that basis, we’d want the OHLE extended to Reading, otherwise would be a bit limiting to only have runs down to Hayes and Harlington (thinking out loud!)

 

having a drive of this just now and absolutely beautiful well done all.

Am i missing something though i have no OHLE at reading etc shouldn't there be OHLE which was installed in 2008 IIRC
