PS4 [resolved] Game Fails To Start After Loading Screen.

Good morning.

After today's update, when I start the game (after the initial loading screen) my game freezes and I can't start it.

 

Hello, I am also experiencing this issue having just updated to today’s patch. I was playing the game just before the update was issued to PS4 and was running smoothly (well, about as smoothly as TSW on PS4 is, but that’s a separate discussion). I then downloaded the update, closed the game and reopened it, allowing for the update to install. When I reopened the game, it took nearly 5 minutes to load, then crashed completely. I closed the game and reopened it, hoping to try again, and the same issue occurred. I could hear the background music playing whilst the game was loading as normal, and nothing else seemed out of the ordinary. I also attempted restarting the PS4, but to no avail. Not sure how much this will mean, but the error code I keep getting is CE-34878-0, which after googling was just the general ‘game suddenly stopped’ code.

Edit: The only possible way I can now play Train Sim is to redownload TSW5 and all the routes I had on it, which thankfully does not cost extra since I previously bought them, however removed them for storage space.

 

Same here. Cannot play at all. As soon as it gets to the point where the game is fully loaded it errors out.

 

Ditto to this issue. How this update managed to break the game so badly, I have no idea.

 

*update breaks game*

"you can fix it by deleting your save data"

 

The same thing happened here. After the loading screen, when the DTG logo video was about to play, the game freezes. I've tried everything: restarting the PS4, turning it off and on, and the problem persists.

I wish I had the money to buy a PS5 to overcome the difficulty of playing my beloved TSW on the PS4, but until that happens, I'll keep playing and suffering along the way with constant freezes and glitches during gameplay.

 

Or better you can delete your'e game and throw your'e PS4 out of the window LMAO This will fix the problem for sure i think xD

 

The most reasonable workaround I found was to simply play an older version of the game, which if you have previously owned on PS4, you can redownload for free along with all the routes you originally owned on it, and ironically I found TSW5 actually runs more smooth than TSW6 in most areas…

 

Same here.

 

How can I delete my saved data if the game doesn't start anymore?

 

Exactly what does temporary solution mean, though? Let's say I make the decision to delete my save data. I can load into the game without it crashing and make new data. Does that mean if I shut the game off and come back to it with the new data, it'll crash again?
Your solution implies that players having data already there to load makes the game figuratively spit its dummy out and crash?

 

I don't know I'm not a ps4 user but I'd imagine there's an option in the ps4 settings to delete data

 

Go to the PS4 main page. Then go to "settings" and choose "application saved data management."
Select "Saved Data in System Storage". Choose either to back up your data to a formatted USB drive or uploaded to your PS+ account. Select the game and go from there.
After backing it up, you select the files you want to delete and then select delete and ok to confirm.

 

Ok that's interesting...

I also play on PS4, installed the update and I got no issues. That's weird.

 

PS4 failed to load in the exact same manner with today's 1.32 version installed. Also restarted machine and tried again with the same result.

 

Good morning.

I am reporting that, after yesterday's update, TSW6 continues to crash on PS4 after the loading screen.

Furthermore, I want to emphasize that recreating the database, cleaning this or that, in short, rarely solves this type of problem; sometimes it seems like a standard protocol message. What really works is for the DTG (Data Transfer Tool) to resolve what needs to be resolved, and unfortunately, we have to wait a long time.

 

I received the patch yesterday evening and it did the trick, and was quick so I appreciate and acknowledge that, but the question is still how a game-breaking bug like this managed to get past testing of some sort

 

Rebuilding the database worked. Since I didn't try that before the patch I'm not sure if the patch was needed or not for my particular case. Glad to be back! Thanks Dovetail team.
