    You won't lose your progress if you just delete the game from the PS4 and then reinstall it from the shop. Best bet at the moment is to not install any other DLC that what comes with the base install - these will all make the PS4 crash when you try to click on a route. Just have to play those 3-4 routes until they figure out how to get this shambles under control.

    I'd rather they just got on with fixing the game TBH. Like last night when the TSW2 world was falling apart and they were happily trundling along the rails ignoring everyone's questions about why it was now crashing constantly on PS4.

    Got to say I'm so glad I switched off my ps4 from internet 48 hours ago. It doesn't look like this was ever going to be ready off shelf. Where is stujoy? He is always good for some dry humour in these moments. Plus side of having the legacy version still installed can keep slowly ticking off timetables modes whilst they sort this. Feel for all you guys who have had the auto update. It is truly a mess..

    So wait...this issue where the game claims I didn't update my DLCs is not my fault?

    Nope. Apparently someone at Sony forgot to flick the switch to turn on the upgraded DLCs that run on UE 4.26.

    That's...well, more than a shame, to say the least. I was looking forward to playing TSW since I hadn't for about two weeks or so.

    Unfortunately, my PS4 is set to automatically install any updates, so everything's going to be broken. Fantastic (!)
    Anyway, I'm sure DTG will fix this issue soon.

    Yep, definitely all Sony's fault. Deeeefinitely no history of completely failing to understand the Playstation platform on DTG's part. Definitely not something they could have figured out with a bit of pre-launch testing. Definitely not their fault AT ALL.

    Move along now, nothing to see here...

    Quoted them, though I didn't think it was Sony's fault. This is a DTG issue, like you say.

    Also, what should I do now? Do I wait for them to fix it? Do I uninstall? Will it break more if I uninstall?
    Bloody hell, I'm confused.

    I think... If you want to play something that actually works, delete the game, reinstall ONLY the base game and play whatever routes it gives you (Bakerloo, Sand Patch, Koln - not the best selection, but it'll do for now). Eventually, they'll patch the other DLC and then you can re-download them without it crashing every time you try to play.

    The save file is stored separate from the game files. You can only lose the save data if you actively delete the save file, initialize the system without backup, or if the save file somehow gets corrupted.

    Especially shocking after the other big update fiasco recently where we were assured there was an internal investigation underway to ensure poor quality control wouldn’t happen again. An entire community stream was dedicated to that matter, but here we are again with an even bigger failure on our hands. :|

    I don’t really blame DTG for making mistakes, although there should be safety measures in place to ensure that updates don’t break the game entirely. Software development is no easy task, but it’s their approach and attitude that screams relatively small studio fumbling around trying to manage hefty ambitions.

    I doubt they'll answer us on there, because that stream is for Train Simulator.
    I think they should make an exception in this case, though.

    So I'm right in thinking there is no point in even trying to get the DLC I bought installed then? I have to say I am not so happy with the fact that just a while back they TSW2 tweeted out like it was all working if you followed that guide they've put together....and it's not working at all. That is causing more frustration and anger than anything, having people delete and re-download over and over. How long until it finally gets fixed? How come they are they still posting advice that hasn't worked for anyone? :|

    Seems that way.

    Their PR team is even more under-resourced than their dev team.

    Basically, do what I do. Sit on your bum and wait. Cos what's the point in reinstalling to play the base DLCs?
    Honestly, it's likely the progress you make after reinstalling and playing those 3-4 things would just be lost when they release an actual patch. Wouldn't surprise me if that happened, anyway.

    For clarity, I'm not angry with you or anyone else here lol. Just offering my honest advice.

    Nahhhh. Our PC overlords can never be distracted by our insignificant consoles. Kidding, PC players.
    But no, I think the only thing said was 'if you're here about the TSW 2 stuff, go read the article we made'.

    What a joke, they can't even face players in a stream to address the issues.
    Just a dude playing the old version of a working game.

    Good one dovetail.
    That's it I'm done, I'm unistalling the game forever. Waste of money

    DTG Natster , I have a pretty slow internet connection, so I dont want to waste hours and hours of downloading. Is there still a posibility for me to just wait it out untill DTG and Sony get thing straigthened out? As i see it I would only have to download a patch that you will release, iso having to download the complete base game and all my routes again. Is that still in the cards? I would much rather go a weekend without TSW and wait for the patch (hopefully on monday then?). But if re-downloading all DLC is inevitable, even with the upcoming patch, I much rather do it now during the weekend then during next week. So what do I do?

    PR team, ROFL, what team. The clues in the name Public Relations- We certainly meet the criteria in marketing terms being most definitely one of the many public's they have, and we most certainly could do with some relations!
    But who in their right minds wants to take this one on now. Brave Person/s needed for that one perhaps when they've finished with Afghanistan job!
    The communication from the start (of the problem i.e. launch day) has been pretty shambolic. This idea of 'just drop it as is and deal with it later' or not as demonstrated, is sadly becoming DTG's forte and the ongoing 'lah lah we can't hear you' attitude (last night's stream for example) when WE try to engage in any form of communication is quite frankly laughable.
    Grow some Croutons DTG and own the problem, that's half the problem right there.

    We have people who will be working the weekend to try and get this resolved.
    I can't promise you an exact timeframe for when this will be fixed.

    The steps posted in the article are a temporary workaround that might work for some users and not for others, so it's entirely up to you if you want to give it a go.

    I'm sorry I can't currently offer you more solid information. But I will keep communicating with you as things develop.

    Yeah but be prepared to be in for a bumpy ride and clear your schedule for about the next 6 weeks oh and don't forget to put a lawyer on retainer.
    Getting a refund from Sony is a battle.

    Good evening Nat. Would now be the moment for DTG to offer all PS4 users a free DLC once this is resolved. I think this would be a fair way for DTG to make peace with the community. Apologies are air, a free DLC for all shows that you as a business care.
