    If you're experiencing a crash on PlayStation - particularly on the loading screen - we believe this is associated with the first save slot in the Scenario Planner becoming corrupt. In order to resolve the issue please delete the "UGCScenarios_0" file shown below.

    PS_data.png

    You can manage your save data via
    PlayStation 4 main menu > Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage > Delete > Train Sim World 2

    This should allow you to continue playing without issue. If it doesn't, please visit the Tech Reports forum and file a report.

    Thank you, and apologies for the inconvenience.

    I had a crash first time ever after quitting the talent 2 introduction and then picking ICE 3 M for the first service of the daycday out from FFM. After all was set, weather chosen, while on loading screen the game crashed.
    I don't run on PS4 PRO but it's pretty hefty device I've got and TSW2020 has never crashed on me.
    Otherwise the game runs like (almost) a dream, loading screens are a lot faster than in 2020 and also distance loading is better.
    I did report the crash via PSN.

    Is it worth deleting the file if you haven't had a crash yet?

    So I’ve been talking to Support via email and this morning they suggested this fix. But I am unable to locate the UGCScenarios_0 file, can you help as they’re out responding to my emails now. See attached pics. DTG Protagonist

    You can try deleting your liveries - it's likely that's the culprit.

    I’ve had this issue since buying the game, it happened on first start up. I have since deleted and reinstalled the game and it still happens.

    I’m getting frustrated and confused as to what the issue actually is.

    If anyone finds other solutions, posting them here will help other players significantly and is appreciated.

    On this particular issue the dev team have found what they believe to be the cause and will be working it into the first patch for the game. This patch will not happen immediately as we want to include several fixes in it. Thank you for your patience.

    i had yesterday night a problem that my whole game wasn't loading, it was stuck in the loading screen. I tried first to delete the first couple files, but it didn't worked. Then I deleted everything and I have to restart everything :(

    Sam,

    Thats not a permanent fix is it?
    I have just wasted a whole afternoons work creating a scenario (on the PS4). After rebooting the PS4 and TSW 2 this afternoon I got trapped at the loading screen. I had to delete the save game (you mentioned above).I have a look in the scenario creator for the scenario I made this afternoon and its not there. I hope a more "permament fix" isin the works as until then I cannot create a scenario of liveries.

    Regards

    Hentis

    Sorry just seen you post about two or three above mine. Well I guess I'm gonna have to hold off from scenario and livery creation for the time being.

    I think DTG should count themselves lucky the game is digital only and it’s harder to get a refund on console as I’d be in the queue requesting one.

    Have you tried deleting and reinstalling? Might be worth a shot.

    Have you deleted all of the saves from the TSW 2 files if not do it.

    The reboot the PS4 , then load up and see if it works.

    If it does work one thing I would suggest is when you do get back to a working version is leave the scenario and Livery creator well alone until the patch is released. That is what is screwing up with everything else.

    Good news then. But for the time being refrain from using the scenario planner and livery designer otherwise you will be back here again as the playstation has crashed.

    This is anecdotal and could be completely coincidental, but I've seen fewer instances of crashes on PS4 since I have done the following:

    - Don't use the livery editor for more than 45-60 minutes at a time. Reboot the game at these intervals or when the editor starts randomly creating lots of new layers every time you add a shape. Obviously continue to save frequently nevertheless.

    - Re-boot the game between completing a livery and creating a new scenario. And especially do not do both and then attempt to launch the scenario with the newly created livery. For my console that's like the kiss of death.

    - Watch the video tutorials for the livery editor to find ways to lessen the number of layers you use, it's relatively easy to drastically reduce how many you use by making use of the projection tools.

    No. It most definitely isn't. It's a short term solution to ensure you can at least play the game while the permanent fix completes testing. Proper fixes are coming, but we didn't want to leave you hanging in the short term.

    If you can't get into the game then delete the file.
    Best thing to do for the time being is to leave the scenario and livery creator alone until they release the patch.

    Just a heads up. On Eastcoastway I got a crash post patch. I tried to add the 66 top and tail to my scenario, seeing the length as 40m I thought Id get a pair of 66s in a power move. I got the psn blue screen instead. Going back and removing this service seems to have solved the problem.

    Its not meant to be used by the looks of it. To be fair on DTG. Its prep for NTP whenever that drops.

    Hi everyone, I have a problem. I play on ps4 pro and since this afternoon (there haven't been any updates in the last few days) my game keeps crashing with the following words given: "Your playstation profile has been disconnected due to an issue". When I reconnect the profile, it says me that the game has crashed. After that, if I try to open the game it says that my data has been deleted (but it seems like it's not deleting it) and I have to re-download version 1.05 of the game every time. It is the 5th time this happens, does someone know how o resolve this? Hope I explained it well enough ;)
