Enough Is Enough!!! The Ongoing Saga!!! 2 Year Anniversary

Yes I think it might go all the way back to TSW2 or TSW3. I was surprised to see it in 2026

 

Just realised it will be five years come this August ha

 

200 pages by December? We can do it

 

Which December?

 

3*

 

It all started as a protest of TSW4 coming out when issues with TSW3 had not been addressed. Now I look back on TSW4 with fondness, as it introduced the track monitor and other HUD options, AND I could use my RailDriver with it!

 

This thread is still going. Tis a thing of beauty

 

Took a train to Redruth at the weekend. Love this train journey. Do it 3x a year to visit family.

 

Haven't played for a while but decided to jump back in. Spawned one of the new HST variants on to the Preston to Carlisle route.

Within 5 minutes the HST is blurred, both inside and outside. The ballast is blurred. The grass and crops in the field are blurred. The bridges and buildings are blurred.

This problem is getting so much worse. The game is borderline unplayable when the visuals are so bad.

 

I was working up Camberwell today and I took the Overground

 

Ahh simpler days when DTG was simply digging to the bottom of the barrel as opposed to having broken through the bottom and keeping digging.

 

They’ve almost reached Oz now!

 

So the latest update has well and truly broken the game for me on PS5.

It crashes whenever I try to load it up, I've cleared the cache and rebuilt the database twice, doesn't work.

I've deleted the game and reinstalled THREE TIMES!!! It works when I do that.....once, once only. Anytime after that it then just crashes while trying to load.

My game is quite literally now unplayable*

*Unless I want to spend 5 or 6 hours reinstalling everything just to play once.

 

So the Class 90 (in my opinion worse than the Skyhook 185, worse than the West Cornwal Local, worse than Athena's Class 47/4) wasnt enough of a faff, and didnt cause enough of a backlash - WHAT will?

I know there is an update coming, about LOVE time really, its only been 2 months since it was released. but honestly, how broken or bad does a DLC need to get before enough is finaly enough.

Why wasnt dovetail able to just offer refunds to players who wanted them, ive been informed that this has happened a few times in TSC?

 

I guess the DLC was deemed acceptable with known issues. Some of the stuff you describe feels like it was phoned in. The West Cornwall effort was truly sub par. The fact that it makes it out of the door is bad enough. Many accept though through lack of alternatives.

 

I'm not one for tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theories. But DTG does have a history of delaying updates because of a game breaking bug needing to take priority, with the class 90 update due soon along with new core updates and anything else, what are the odds that they'll get delayed to sort out this new issue with PlayStations?

 

3 crashes on my PS5 in the last few days. Grrrr.

 

The West Cornwall Local, and it's Class 150 are not as bad as Alan Thompson's Class 90 - Even Skyhooks DB 185, the original version, is better than having ATS wee on our heads and call it rain, i mean the Class 90

 

There is my answer. Going to hold off buying TSW6 for now I think

 

It’s been ok up until now… I’d just like to know why it’s started crashing now.. it’s a bit disconcerting to think you might end up wasting an hour or two of your time…. Repeatedly… if that’s happens, then I will get cross!

 

Same for me as well.

 

WCL is okay if you run in the dark (or at least twilight) and do a Class 45 or 47 run (not the 40 as they have no place in Cornwall!).

 

So it seems this thread will not even be locked in the end but totally gone on 30 June 2026...

 

it’s been a good run, but ultimately our minds have been made up for us

 

Well I guess this thread won't make it's three year anniversary...

 

Where's this come from?

 

It is in the announcement thread

 

https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/upcoming-changes-to-the-dovetail-games-forums.98464/

The big ones.

 

We should at least try and get one more page, so we can get a 159 on Honiton Bank picture on there!

 

Yes! Let's do that

 

Just saw the announcement. Genuinely idiotic.

 

It is. And it potentially could end the community here. Makes me sad.

 

Though it says existing threads will stay open isn't it?

 

How can a thread be kept open if the forum section its in is going to be removed?

 

Read only. A bit like what they did with the CTS forum, though of course that is now being excised completely.

 

btw - is it as hot as it is in Germany at the moment in England? That could explaine the situation probably. I might not even owner of my thaughts with this heat.

 

Why would they remove the Gen Discussion forum, am I missing something here? It makes no sense, where else would we discuss general matters?

 

Well i suppose the correct response to DTGs latest idiotic move is to apologise to the 3rd parties that actually try, and to DTG i say raise the Jolly Roger, and give them a royal salute Scottish style

 

It's hot enough to boil a monkey's [censored], to quote Monty Python.

 

Or possibly the Devils in Skirts salute from Carry On Up The Khyber.

 

My god i loved the carry on films, they were so bad they became epic LOL

 

Same here ... thank god we have a AC unit here, but it struggles more and more to cool this office here.

 

After reading the announcement of closing the General Discussion forum, I really had my enough is enough moment.

 

Is this on page 159 yet?

 

Seems not.

 

No. Try again.

 

How about now?

 

maybe now?

 

Doesn't seem to be. I think it's getting close though.
