Route Great Western Express: Remastered - Feedback Thread

With regards to Xbox players, there seems to be a re-occuring issue with the game crashing constantly. It seems to have started from when the remaster was released and affects multiple routes.

I have had it crash on the GWE, East coast way and wcml South routes (I'm sure it happens to others too).

 

DTG Liam hi mate whens the update out for the wiper problem on the 166. Thanks

 

Two small things I noticed on PS5.

Driving the Riviera 802 to Reading in summer, I noticed that parts of the windscreen wiper (which should be black) sometimes had a strange orange or yellow (rust-like) colour.

Also, the sleeper service with the Class 47, running on the relief line, shows a maximum speed of 90 instead of 50. 90 is fo DMUs only.

 

Are they going to fix the 387 “won’t fit in this scenario” bug?

 

Hi DTG Liam , in regards to the 166, sometimes the Chiltern livery one layers onto routes such as GWE, Riviera, Cardiff etc. Could you have a look at removing that substitution for that livery from those routes as it should only be on Mildmay not on GWR routes.

 

Question for Xbox Series X users who own all the DLCs: which layers have you disabled to avoid blurry textures?

At the moment, for me it’s working by removing all the layers related to WCMLs, Voyager, Riviera, railtours and underground. The AI traffic still remains rich, and the framerate at Paddington benefits from it as well.

 

Ok, thanks anyway

 

Anyone else getting random derailments going into Acton yard.

 

Did you have the option enabled to derail when a manual junction isn't set correctly? With this option enabled, when you drive into a manual junction that's set wrong, you get derailed just like in the real world.

 

No everything is set to automatic things like that . Even have random derailments at stations.

 

What we looking for anything in particular

 

Does anyone know why HST power cars are showing as just the mesh at distance since the remaster, seems to be every CC livery.

 

The master of the remaster left his mark. By the looks of it anyway.

 

Ooh the LH i didn't notice that well spotted.

 

Thats a good coincidence mate.

 

5z60 is a bit confusing. I couple to the cars at Southall depot, pull into Southall station, the service ends so I go back to free roam. I wait several minutes then load passengers, am instructed to drive to paddington yet there's no path for the train and the signal doesn't clear. If I exit to menu, I cannot find the service to paddington from Southall?

 

Yeah that's a good coincidence.

 

Thank You

 

I don't own the Riviera line or the voyager so I only disable the 350s, Southern services and the Mildmay line services. I find that all the underground stuff is fine and doesn't cause any issues. If I were you I'd see what it's like with the underground stuff on because it adds a lot to Ealing Broadway and the entry into Paddington. I've noticed though that the 350 seems to be the main culprit when it comes to blurry textures as I tried turning the layer back on to see how the route would do but the blurry textures showed up again around Acton main line.

 

It must be something else. I disabled those layers (I don't have Mildmay) and the blurry textures on the 166 started as usual before Ealing Broadway. What are Southern services? Thanks.

 

As anyone done 3p55 reading tcd to Paddington. Get stuck at a red signal before reading station waited 39 mins would not change.

 

I think it appears as West London line on the layer selector? They use the 377s from WCMLS and are basically never seen so its not worth having them on. Hopefully turning that layer off might help as, like the 350, it's also from WCMLS.

 

On PS5 any journey that specifies to set the lights to “day running” on the class 66 won’t advance to the next step when satisfied (usually it’s already set to this but will advance when set to “night running”). Similarly when told to turn the lights off (so have the arrow point up rather than down).

 

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned them here, and I don’t recall seeing them in the original, but have tristate banner repeaters been added to the remaster?

Nice one!

 

Since the GWE remaster, the layer of static internodal trains on SEHS (near the tunnel entrance, I think Dagenham) has disappeared.

I think this will probably be resolved when the SEHS "update" comes out but still wanted to flag it.

 

6L65 derailed for me with about 3-4 miles to go to the last stop in the yard, despite going about 2/3rds the posted speed limit.

 

Random

Random derailments possibly a core issue. They were quite frequent in TSW4, went away in TSW5, but back with a vengeance in TSW6 - can occur any route, any train, any time. A piece of spaghetti code must have worked loose again!

 

On PC, I've never had a derailment.

 

I've noticed that the original timetable and the DLotGW timetable are very stable compared to the new one. The save function works just fine and no lock-ups.

I would really like to get back to the remaster, but some bugs need to be ironed out first.

Is a patch in the offing?

 

Liam has said a few times that a number of bugs have been acknowledged and fixes found,
BUT knowing DTG the patch might not come for another 5 years.......... ( I said that, not Liam )

 

Anyone?
DTG Liam ?

 

1G11 had people standing on the adjacent tracks around 4.3 miles before Reading. Perhaps they fell out of a London-bound train.

GWE is the only route I’ve seem where passengers aren’t loaded at the first stop and instead you take off immediately for the nexr station (usually tardy after turning on the interior and exterior lights and enabling the safety systems). Is that an artifact of the original or the remaster?

I hope the wipers on the Class 166 get fixed soon—it’s especially jarring to see in snowy weather.

 

6L65 also keeps derailing for me with around 3-5 miles to go. I’ve tried going fast, slow, and various other things. The point of jumping the tracks varies but always happens. In one case I collided with an oncoming local train on the adjacent track, which was quite freaky.

The furthest I can typically get is the switch track for Plasser Works. I finally tried stopping before it and was able to pass through.

 

Is there something amiss with the soundproofing on the HST? Every time I pass a Class 802 on the Riviera Line, I can hear its running sounds really loudly. I can also hear the passenger ambience at stations very clearly as though the cab doors are open.

 

The remaster overall is fantastic. I love the business of the timetable and the lighting and scenery enhancements create a much greater sense of immersion.

I had questions about Slough as I commuted from there during the era of this route and I understand there was work done on improving it from the original:
- I've seen a number of services operating from Platform 6 but this was already in the process of being removed during the modernisation construction period when the route is set.
- Was there any consideration to including 'Station Jim' on Platform 5? He's a famous landmark for the station having been there since the 19th century. I don't know if taxidermy affects the PEGI rating?
- Key scenery around the station like the newish (at the time) bus station and the Horlicks factory (was still a factory at the time - it's flats now) don't seem to be shown properly. I am guessing this is a permissions issue?

 

As someone was enquiring on one of the TSW FB groups just now, has there been any progress in identifying and fixing why loading a save game on the route is hard locking the PC etc.?

 

Been enjoying this route, so today decided to try the Down the Line scenario (board one of 3 Class 166s at Paddington).

No idea what's going on, but the AI driver wouldn't move from any of the trains I selected (tried it twice) so I was treated to this "view" when attempting to take control of the train, and it didn't disappear either.

Like something out of a Ghost Train, never mind a commuter one

 

That one haunts my nightmares. In a way I'll miss it when it's gone lol.

 

I am on Playstation 5

On the blue 3-car class 166 (CLASS 166 FGB), One of the cabs has every warning light permanently switched on, the thing is always lit-up like a Christmas tree.

This only happens inside one cab, not both of them.

The DBS class 66 numbers are bugged. The number on the cab never matches the number on the nose.




66476 or 66660 ????

 

Is there any known door bugs on the HST all are closed and lock but hud still showing that there open. So i cant complete the service.

 

Xbox Series x if you continue a saved game after about 30 seconds the game just completely freezes and all you can hear is engine sounds. You have completely shut down xbox to resolve it. What ×××××× is going on with this game lately . Its just bug after bug.

 

Wiper bug still not fixed on the 165 and 166

 

Hi DTG Liam, one question. Is it possible to remove the LNWR 350 variant out of the Heathrow connect substitution as if it appeared (haven't had it yet). It might break the immersion

 

I was driving 3D16 that starts at 05:45 from Paddington after bringing this HST set into service from old oak common (retuning to free roam after the initial depot move)

There seemed to be an issue with the dispatcher and signals as two Networkers were stuck at red aspects at the end of their respective platforms with a 350 at a red coming into the station. They appeared to be blocked by a green aspect for two empty platforms at Paddington.

Then I think this issue affected my service about 5 miles from Kennet bridge loop just before you cross onto the slow line. There was a red signal due to the slow line being green. There was no train on the slow line going towards reading between myself and the ones stuck at Paddington.
