Hello everybody, Isle of Wight needs a patch to fix a lot of outstanding issues. I am wondering if Rivet Games have got plans to do a patch or if they are abandoning IOW to focus on Arosa now. Below this post I will gather everything that needs to be fixed that has been report and that I have seen. Jasper_Rivet Feel free to comment what needs fixing below as well.
Missing trophies. Nat gave a vauge comment about why they never made it to the PlayStation system on a thread a few months back. Inquired further and never got a proper answer as to both why left out and if they will ever appear. and good work for this post. Lovely little route that has been forgotten by developer and myself as a customer too.
Not having a working brake gauge under the speedometer on the HUD. It use to be there but not been there for ages now. Submitted a ticket ages ago but still not fixed. The ticket reply was it would be passed on to Rivet but nothing has been done.
Jasper_Rivet Please could you pass these of to the respective teams: 1. Lake Station pops in late 2. AI trains don't have passenger lights on 3. AI trains travel without headlights on 4. The destination boards on the train don't show up on both ends. 5. I have seen people saying that the buttons have return to being angular. 6. The BIL light doesn't turn on when doors opens (orange light at the top on roof like what the 377, 1972, 465, 375 and 395s have.) 7. The stop marker boards (like s car stop) needs to put in, in the opposite direction. For example at Ryde Esplanade there is a marker towards Shanklin but not towards the pier head. 8. The stop marker at the end of the route (both ends) stops way before the buffers. [Improvements] 1.The water texture needs to be improved. 2. Change the tech so that the signals don't wait for you to shut doors but instead when the train stops (like Southeastern). 3. Add working PIS - This shouldn't be that hard if Rivet ask for the Plugin. Then they just need to change the existing boards for the new PIS and that is done and can use the boards in Southeastern High Speed like East Coastway will soon have.
Complete All Scenarios trophy does not work for all players - Rivet Response, core issue speak to DTG. DTG - Response, Rivet are responsible for fixing their DLC's Customer - left without a solution at all
There's also an issue where resuming a saved game disables the open/close door shortcuts on the d-pad. Using the dashboard buttons works fine though. Man, I'd love to see improved water textures. I was playing PGA Tour 2K21 this morning and was drooling over those water textures.
I have just driven on the line again and have found that: Audio doesn’t change even if you open the front door or windows. The signal at the end of Sandown station shows a yellow aspect but on the hud it shows a green one. The headlights look a bit odd with their bulbs like that. Door open buttons doesn’t illuminate.
It seems difficult to meet the schedule unless using Forward 2, which we were told isn’t used due to the state of the rolling stock. Sounds still aren’t right. For example, when doors close on the train, rain sounds drop dramatically- even if windows are open. Standing up in the train when it’s raining causes the sound to vary. The scenarios are poorly curated e.g. reversing the train before changing ends etc. Wheel slip in power position one. When applying the brakes, you get a clicking sound moving the brake lever into position one, but you don’t get similar clicking sounds in the other braking positions so you don’t get a satisfying acknowledgment you’ve engaged a higher brake setting.
I always use Forward 2 on IOW it definitely gives you an extra kick forward up to speed. I definitely agree about the scenarios but I will spare everyone by not going there again!
not popping is one thing but completely missing here. No idea if they will ever be added as rivet and DTG have been dodging the question for some time now. I know you are on Xbox, and it’s very weird the way they “appear” in the achievement list up to a day after the new dlc has launched. xbox has all IOW achievements, PS folk have a lowly 4 trophies.
I’m still simmering over the measly four trophies in the PS4 version. What could have possibly gone wrong to cause this mistake and why will it never be fixed.
you are not alone on this one. I only have 3 of the 4, yet to complete 20 services. it’s been reported before, Nat even replied on another thread but nothing. I asked why they were left out as it was done on propose apparently
The decision to only add 4 trophies was intentional. Not having all of them work however was not. I am currently in communication with Rivet to see what can be done about making them all achievable. I will make no promises, but I will keep you up to date with any news I get. I have also made sure to pass along the rest of the feedback you have shared in here. To clarify, when you have feedback for a third party route, you can share it all in these forums and we will make sure everything you have mentioned get's seen and passed along. We can't promise what will get worked on though.
Thanks for your input:- Though I have to say maybe the community should start to ask for refunds, as it is not "fit for purpose" or as "Expected to be". I wonder how we stand on our "Consumer Rights" Suggestions on how, we as the community can help?
cheers for this Although somewhat retreading the same ground. can you confirm if the rest will be added or will it remain just 4 for this DLC?
What was the reason behind the decision to only include four trophies on PS4? Was it a technical limitation? Time limitation? Capability limitation? Why did the PC and Xbox get the usual ten?
There was a technical reason that stopped more being added. The exact details of that I don't have to hand right now. I would expect it to remain as just the 4.
With all respect, but this seems to be an excuse. I would suggest to plan a bit more ahead or not at all, as there have lots of other trophies been added after IOW but still in the same set. Is there any explanation? Otherwise I'll stick to my conclusion. Edit: I'd like to state these details that may shed some light on the issue: 1) There are 124 trophies in set 1, 119 in set 2 and up to now 55 in set 3. 2) The trophies for IOW are in set 2, and it seems at least possible - general logic assumed - that 5 additional trophies could be added to that set. 3) Although it's probably not possible to put them in the same folder.
It's funny how IoW is the only route to suffer from such a "technical reason". In addition to the shopping list of bugs above, the liveries still don't work. You can create a livery but it isn't usable. Rivet have been tagged on threads covering the matter, but they are obviously missing a keyboard to reply. I strongly feel that DTG should not allow Rivet to release a new route until they've cleaned up behind them. The two Rivet routes are the worst reviewed on the steam store. Even the Diesel Legends pack has been reviewed more favourably...
I won't be buying any Rivet content until they get their act together. I've reported problems to both DTG and Rivet, and as pointed out above, each blame the other party, no one does anything about it. It's the only real action we can take, and if no one buys, they might look at why.
