Getting ridiculous now. When you have to turn the game off and restart multiple times then it's game breaking. Either getting stuck on red signals or the game freezing to an error screen, it's unplayable. I paid money for this and I expect a working product. I have been patient, but its getting a little extracting the urine now. PS5
We might have an better idea after s tomorrow's roadmap. After last roadmap London commuter update was under the upcoming section, so it was never going to release before the next roadmap update (tomorrows) After tomorrow though it should move to incoming (so in next two weeks). However it wouldn't be the 1st time something has got stuck in development hell at DTG and not moved on the roadmap. So keep you pitchfork handy as we might need it after tomorrow's roadmap
I expect what is also strange some like me not having many, if any problems with it. I can't think of any problem that I have had on this route that makes it unplayable for me. I know I am lucky but it must make it even more difficult to find out what the problem is that is causing problems for yourself and others. I have even picked services going from Victoria to Brighton as I have seen a lot of people saying about those services having problems but so far I have not had any. Either I have not been picking the services with the problems or I have been lucky.
If you're on PS5, I'd say you've been lucky. I've run some services from LV to Brighton without issue, but others will crash at random points, which I presume relate to that one-train-too-many slotting into memory. There's one particular service in journey mode which always crashes, which I suspect is down to the additional stresses of its snowy weather, but who can say for sure. I'll certainly be glad when I can get back to playing it properly.
I have to add I’m also in the ps5 no problem so far camp (that with nearly max usable dlc space) So it’s not luck in isolation here. There must be something more for the ongoing problems people are having.
Scenarios for me are unplayable, they all but guarantee a crash. Ive mostly been running GX London/Brighton runs back and forth, with a couple of the GWR Reigate/Gatwick, and a Southern Reigate/London service, all in all I’ve got 40 services competed in timetable mode and I’ve had around 10 crashes and 2 runs failed due to trains getting blocked up near Brighton. I will say that after the last update I’ve only had 1 crash, which was on the same day and since then I’ve not had any, but again I haven’t tried the scenarios.
Have to agree as a PS4 player. I’m desperate to play the route and get involved but it’s too unbearably laggy and the stutters throw any judgement away. Major stations like East Croydon, Gatwick Airport and Clapham don’t load in until your practically in the platform, thus ruining any immersion. A real shame.
PS5, never have any success with southbound reigate services. Sometimes works second time, but first time it usually crashes before Croydon. For me anyway
The crashes are a real issue and I always click to report them on the PS5 just in case that will help get it fixed sooner. I’ve had so many crashes lately I call the game Crash Trainicoot.
