    PS5 menus are very laggy. Tiles for routes are still loading while navigating and menu items don’t respond when pressing buttons.

    Presuambky it’s still loading whilst navigating but it was much better in TSW6. I’d rather the extra wait and smooth menus.

    Needs sorting.

    Thank you for the feedback. Which routes had the issues?

    DTG Jamie He is talking about the game menu. Thats broken on pc as well. The first time you load the game all route tumbnails are present but when you go back to the menu all tumbnails are loading endless and never get back instead you see a stock picture. The menu should normaly load again the tumbnails but they never do.

    Thanks, correct.
    I don’t understand how Dovetail employees can’t see this. Just load up your own game!!!

    PS5 menus in general are laggy once you go back to the menu after playing a route.

    Just had another go.

    The game loads quickly on PS5 now (quicker than TSW6). That’s a positive. Menus work fine and are easy to navigate.

    However after playing a route and returning to the main menu it’s sluggish as hell. Tiles aren’t loading and buttons don’t work when pressed. It appears to load back to the menu quickly after playing a route (quicker than TSW6). That suggests to me stuff is still loading after returning back to the main menu, as if it’s loaded back quicker than it should.

    Btw this wasn’t happening before yesterday so it’s either the update or me adding all of my routes (over 200gb worth).

    I’d imagine it’s all the routes being added…

    yes, at least on PS5 still very bad. You are in the menu want to select something, you sometimes really wait at least a minute or so and then you click something no response and you try to go back and it selects something and starts some route though I haven't been in the route menu section
