    The problem is Crewe itself most services that enter or exit there crash the game

    Nice route however had a CTD when crossing the bridge about 1.3 miles south of Warrington whilst operating the Class 86/4 1P70 headcode in fair weather conditions. This route and the Class 805 are unstable on Xbox and need patches. There is nothing worse than investing time into a journey and then having the ridiculous rug-pull.

    Why cant dtg optimise crewe station on any route . Any job that has crewe in it you are guaranteed it will crash. On xbox I have tried a at least 4 jobs now and crashes every time i try and get into crewe. This with 30 layers disabled custom weather to clear and playing in HD with volumetric fog off. It's ruining a really good route. DTG are you gonna sort this out we are fed up of this and rubbish excuses you give us.

    They didn't make the route but its up them to optimise it so it works with their game.

    Crewe worked fine on Spirit of Steam which had a lot more complicated track layouts.

    That will be it compiling shaders, should get better after a couple of runs on the route.

    Also as I hadn't replied in this thread I just thought I'd let all Xbox users know that we are looking into fixes for the crashing and hope we can get it resolved ASAP.

    JT have knocked out of the park again...let down by severe blurries for me which is obviously down to the core program and in no way should detract from the effort that JT have put into this route. Thank You

    once those are out I’ll buy it. I’ve been contemplating it all day but if there are things that resolving I’ll wait until they’ve been resolved before leaping into it. No doubt JT are going to fix it all but I’ve been burned by AABS and ATS!!

    Some might but the 87 has it's own diagrams too where it runs with Mk3's and to ensure it ran at 110 it has to be in its own layer.

    On my run from Preston to Crewe yesterday evening, passed an 87 hauling a ballast train. Very unlikely in real life, it would either have been a Class 81 or 85 roarer or more likely a Class 25 or probably by then a 31. Certainly in the daytime, the Class 87 fleet would have been fully committed to passenger workings.

    This urban legend again? In seven years of TSW, I have never, EVER noticed any improvement in stuttering after hours of gameplay. The micro-stutters, which are more annoying on certain routes, are simply an integral part of a game that has never been truly optimized. I don't know about PC, but on console (first PS4, then Xbox Series X), I have never seen any improvement.

    Does Crewe crash if you spawn there in free roam outside of the timetable?

    I guess everyone on the Internet saying that shaders are pre-compiled on console and compiled into the build must be wrong then, good to know...

    I know it crashes if you spawn a service but does it crash if you spawn at Crewe in free roam instead of service mode?

    Now you’ve got me worried as that’s the scenario I just started. While it might be different on PC, I don’t want to play beyond the refund window to find the same issue occurring.

    This route is seriously a train wreck on console, was it even tested on consoles before release?

    Not yet… Was waiting to see what JT and DTG had to say about the issues. Well it appears no one from DTG is commenting on the core issues that may be causing the reverb to be gone AWOL and the general stuttering. And JT seem adamant they are not going to degrade the scenery slightly to improve performance with the timetable corrections to put in arrival times not entirely confirmed either. So at this point my finger is hovering on the button, rebuy later in the year when it’s fixed or goes on sale.

    It’s a shame for JT as they obviously worked hard on it, but they and the other 3P’s need to be reading the riot act to DTG as it is the latter’s inability or incompetence to fix the core game that is going to lose them sales and profitability on these products.

    I’ve had to request a refund for it on Series X, first time I’ve ever done this for any game/gaming product. As much as the Class 90 and Birmingham-Crewe got slated on release for various issues, at least they both broadly worked.

    Either it was not tested on Xbox or it was and nobody cared. Either way it’s shocking that this is being sold. Makes me feel very sorry for JT as well as the route itself was superb.

    Out of interest, has anyone played this on Series S? Given how it is on X, I’d be astounded if any aspect of it even loaded.

    Play any other service that doesn’t go to Crewe or ends at Crewe, much better experience like most 20 services are great on Xbox series x

    From talks on the discord they are trying to get stuff fixed over the weekend but they aren’t sure when it would be pushed out when done

    Well I have to be a doubting Thomas on that one. Some of it can only be sorted by DTG fixing the core and we know that's not going to happen. They should not be selling these complex routes knowing full well the game struggles to cope with them. So the only recourse we have is with our wallets - and before anyone starts taking the piss, this is actually the first TSW product I have refunded in quite some time.

    If/when all the issues are addressed or it goes on sale at 40% off, then I will consider rebuying.
