    There is no fact to support your view.
    You also contradict yourself within one post:
    "Just my opinion, fact remains"

    What is it? A or B?

    This is not by design, they all (literally every DTG employee involved in TSW) would have to be mentally insane to do something like this.

    If you were slight more open to viewing the real truth, you'd know they are working on It.

    Also, it's not simply incompetence, it's called an issue, one they are looking to resolve.

    the clues are in my statement, may i suggest research the words suspect and opinion, there is a comma after 'opinion'. and 'they' is referring to someone other than me.

    I know exactly what those words mean. However, saying something is fact (it isn't) straight after saying it was your opinion, that not very wise is it?

    How about you get your own posts in order before telling someone else to be coherent.

    as it stands it is a fact i cannot play content/dlc i have paid for. and freedom of speech whilst it is still a right says that an opinion is a human right.

    Let's make it short. PS4 players will get the worst experience by the launch of any DLC or update, that's because nothing gets a dedicated test/coding for PS4. As everything is for PC and if they are lucky, some downloads wouldn't require an after storm fix. I think there should be a PS4 dedicated team in DTG. That would at least not let any eventual break loss of Hell or tortures inside DTG Gulag! lol xD

    i fear if they have dropped the ps4/last gen and are pinning there hopes on the next gen and pc then i feel sorry for those that have a lot of money tied up in digital & dlc,

    Yes i must admit it does feel like ps5 might be the longer term future, do we think next year core update will be for next gen only?

    If you read the EULA you will quickly find that you have no legal standpoint. For anyone wanting to make a legal challenge, forget it it will be an expensive waste of money...

    A whole route seems extreme but I think a new loco to go with a rush hour route would be good enough. A way to say sorry to the community without plunging too much cash into a project with no financial return.

    one thing to note about dovetail games is that they are allergic to the word “free” when it comes to DLC, so very very very unlikely, there is more than 600 pieces of DLC on TS and you know the only free thing in that? A push car. So I don’t think it would happen, if it did happen I would wash my face 10 times, rub my eyes, pinch myself 6 times to see if I am dreaming

    You don't hear xbox players moaning about our issues, but the moment something goes minorly wrong you are asking for free stuff, PlayStation players are all gits when it comes to this stuff.

    I agree southern unlikely, but also the scale of the mess up for ps4 users is quite large given the bricked dlc for some run into £100s , let's see ,miracles can happen

    You don't see us xboxers moaning this much, go back to this time last year, look at the size of the mess ups for the preserved collection, our really bad sound issues on almost everything, and did we ask for free dlc when all of our stuff was broken, NO, SO WHY SHOULD YOU, I am glad I got an xbox when I did, the PS community are so entitled its unreal, toxic, salty, the list goes on, for a few miles

    Tubefan if you're an Xbox user why are you coming in to the PS section and whining? Xbox hasn't had nearly as many problems as the PS.

    They did have their staff working over the weekend.

    I feel for your annoyance about this. However, there seems to be a lot of angry frustrated postings based on non-information. This is but one example. How do you know it isn’t Sony’s fault. Not even DTG and Sony know this. You say that their staff haven’t been working all weekend. JD has stated that both DTG and Sony Europe engineers have been working to try to find a solution.

    Thank you Nat for the Mod, got a bit heated there. However I still welcome feedback from everyone, no right or wrong answers, just feedback, feedback that DTG might decide to reward with some free content if enough will is there from both ends (customer & dtg)

    Yes I think there is room for debate if the issue persists say beyond a week, for now I am posing the free dlc question as my expectation is that DTG will have this resolved by this week... I say in hope

    That’s true because you spend all your time moaning that XBox users get no love when it comes to sales.

    Yes i suspect a gta or red dead this would have been a PR disaster, however the wait goes on and with it the prospect of a freebie I would say goes up, if time delay + customer complaints up = serious discussion of financial reward at DTG (dlc or other)

    I don’t think a free DLC is viable because people have different interests, but some sort of renumeration for the trouble that PS4 players have gone through would go a long way in regaining trust. I think a £10 psn credit which we could redeem against future DLC of our choice would be a great option.

    I think a free DLC that has been out a while would be a nice idea or a PSN credit like you suggest would be a good idea

    All, and I mean ALL PS4 players have been affected. So it is a little more than “Some”.

    I think this answers your question on DTGs wonderful forward looking customer service stance on this.

    Quite literally passing the buck.

    Begs the question why the run a forum for a game they don't sell you though doesn't it.

    Errrrrm, for a while, no, look at all our issues with preserved collection last year, and did we ask for free stuff, no, unlike the entitled bunch that make up the PlayStation Community.

    It appears that no, also crossed 100, and also, seems to be winning.
    Screenshot_20210823_165150.jpg
    (By quite a bit)

    No, we weren't, and the only way folk on Xbox One could play was delete and reinstall.

    Hmm, let me think. It's because they make, develop and release the game. The only side they ain't responsible for is your legal ownership, as you bought it from PlayStation/Sony (for PS users), not Dovetail directly. If you bought it directly from DTG, there would be a legal basis for demanding refunds and what not.

    -----

    Now, I completely understand the frustration. I went on TSW on the Friday, after letting it update for that time, and getting the DLCs sorted, just to find only Southeastern High-speed (The 465 didn't show up, though) and the base routes there. I was frustrated. However I was persistent and found a way to get my stuff back. I realise this option may not be there for you.

    However, take a step back, and think.

    Whilst this is a catastrophic failure, so far, they (DTG) are working as hard as they can to fix this.

    If Dovetail turned around and said "sucks for you." this would be fully warranted, in fact, this thread would be one of the softer ones.

    Now, from legal standpoints, DTG don't owe anything. If you want a refund, speak to the folk you got it from.

    Again, I fully get the frustration, but come on folks. :)

    I have one final question for you all:
    Do you really think a free DLC is the best way out of it? Wouldn't you rather get access to the DLCs you payed good money for?

    now that is an excellent question, I think most here would say their minimum expectation is return of the goods they have purchased, the max expectation,,, well its anything from £10 in psn credit to a paid dlc for free. I will let others respond. But I like the question, is balanced and provokes debate
