A Question For Console Players: How Much Are You Still Playing Tsw 7, If At All?

Stopped in Feb of this year, finally!!

Downloaded free TSW7 starter pack just to see if any better. Played 30 mins. No better, maybe worse.

Done again.

 

Haven't played much as really, I haven't found anything worth playing really and tonnes of other games I am playing such as wolverine, hellraiser revival, gta 6 eventually, gta 5 replay, list goes on

 

Nivalis Nights all the way! Riding the trains around my cyberpunk dystopia.

 

I was on last night. All my routes appear to be showing again. I did a Blackpool Branches run, and started a run on Over Shap but it was getting late. They looked really good. Over Shap had a few frame skips here and there. I've got quick restart disabled for it. I'm not sure I'd want to do a run on a busier route like Brighton Mainline, but I'll keep hopping on for a run now and again.

 

Playing alot less than I had previously. Blurring has just got to a point that if I am playing and they hit, I just close the game now as just too hacked off to continue.

It's also changed my buying habits. Cannot justify anymore being any kind of customer to DTG. Did I purchase the TSW7 roites as preorder, yes, but that was hoping it would cure my save game issue which was one journey away before it corrupted (had to fallback to PSN cloud save to keep saving the character but alas it didn't work)

So now done with any purchases until DTG gets it act together and starts to show what they are doing is making progress on the 17 routes I have seen blurring for me.

Considering that I think DTG are just a bunch of incompetent liars, guessing I am done for good

 

(PC/Steam) Last played 21st September. Says it all really. And they couldn't even set up the October Mastery to offer a flicker of interest.

And thoroughly engrossed now in revisiting multiple maps and buses in the delightful openOMSI.

 

Why do we have to have an annual edition as it brings more bugs and multiple patch fixes etc. l have been continually downloading more than l have been allowed to play.

When TSW8 is prepared for release, they should let the Beta Testers play it for six months before issuing it to the general public. I certainly don’t want to sit through all this downloading of multiple patches on my slow internet and also l don’t want to see passengers stepping on to the line as l see every time l play the game.

 

how's the AFB working now on the ICE4 on xbox? it didn't work at all on console stream

 

I've only driven the Coradia Continental on the German route so far. As far as I can tell SIFA and PZB are working as they should on that train, although I'm a relative noob to German safety systems so take that with a pinch of salt.... I've not dived into the ICE4 yet and can't comment on AFB or LZB.

 

Barely play on it. With the issues that plague us console users, at the moment the controller sensitivity, I'm barely playing it. Weren't we told that Controller sensitivity would be sorted with the patch?

So, for me. It seems the focus is more on PC players and we are barely remembered. I'm on PS5.

Also, it's interesting to note that the class 70 article, when it mentions the enhanced lighting...it doesn't mention that it's PC only that gets that addition.

 

The blurring makes TSW of little appeal to me, nor is there any point getting excited for future addons (unless it's SWT).

On TSW6 I would enjoy the occasional run on routes that don't blur but on TSW7 the console joystick movements have been completely fudged, and brought me more frustration than enjoyment, so there is barely any point in playing anymore. Which is a shame because having safety systems always on is quite convenient.

 

It certainly runs better on PC, so we're lucky in that sense, but don't forget PC players also have the frustration of putting up with the limitations and design choices of a game being developed for consoles (and now Steam Deck).

Short routes
UI weirdness
Delays to releases because it doesn't work on consoles
Clunky menus with unnecessarily huge tiles.
Patches that optimise the game by introducing reduced texture quality.
Patches that optimise the game by introducing reduced timetables (sometimes without even changing the name, so you end up with duplicates)

Etc...

 

Tried after the last update to see if any improvement on PS5, no change just wish they would get the contoller/camera settings sorted which might just tempt me back, but till then back to FS2024

 

I played a short scenario on MML last night which in itself wasn't bad. But once again upon loading MML everything was blurred catastrophically and all the sounds were 30 seconds out of sync forcing me to quit the game and reopen again. It's getting really frustrating and it's happened with so many routes now as well.

WCMLOS, Riviera, ECW, MML.
