Good evening to you all train enthusiasts. Have you experienced problems with the TSW2 Livery Editor - the Editor won't save your layers/livery, the Editor crashes and erases all your custom liveries. I experienced this problem last weekend, but luckily I got some help (unfortunately I can't remember the name of this kind train enthusiast), found out the reason behind this failure and was able to fix the situation. Some people on the TSW Facebook groups encouraged me to share this info also on this forum, so here goes. 1) Each custom livery can contain a total of 300 layers. 2) Each player can have a total of 300 saved custom liveries. A limit, which is not directly referred to in the game is that there is also a maximum number of total layers that one player can have in the Livery Editor. This number is not 90.000 (i.e. 300 layers per livery x 300 saved custom liveries), or at least on consoles this number is much lower. I had a total of 40 custom liveries, which all contained about 150-300 layers each on the average. With this amount of total layers (6000-12000) I hit the limit, which created a situation, where I wasn't able to save anymore layers/liveries in the game, and as an added bonus, the failure erased all my existing custom liveries (the game indicated that I had 0/300 liveries, although a minute earlier I had 40 custom liveries). I don't know, what the exact total layer cap for all custom liveries in the game is, and whether this is only applicable to PS4, or consoles, or if it applies to PC as well. After I had deleted a few of my custom liveries (from 40 -> to 26), the Editor started to work again and the problem hasn't emerged again. Nevertheless, remember to take a backup of your TSW2 save game files (either to PSplus cloud if you have it, or to external memory stick or something similar), so that you can restore your custom liveries, in case you hit the layer cap and the game erases all your custom liveries. It would be a shame to lose all the custom liveries for good, which you have been working on for several hours..
Very important thread for console users of the Livery Designer (especially for PS4 owners). Well done and detailed!
