    Not sure if anyone has experienced this but I’m seeing a strange graphical issue from time to time. Seems to show up in 2 ways:

    1. “Skeleton” train… an approaching AI train shows up and I can see the interior but there’s no exterior. So it’s like floor and seats floating down the track. Then once it gets closer the exterior appears.

    2. “Hollow” locomotive. Basically the opposite of the above. I can see the exterior of the loco but the interior looks empty/hollow. Then when I get closer the interior pops into place.

    It’s weird because it seems to happen randomly. It’s not like every train has a draw distance issue where it pops in late at a certain distance but it just happens intermittently.

    FWIW this is TSW3 on PS5, TSW2 routes (not sure if the 3 routes do it because I haven’t played as much). Never noticed this on TSW2.

    I've noticed this as well on Series X. Apparently a resource loading bug

    I hope at some point there will be updates on both consoles ps5 and xbox series x for bugs and optimisation. It's pretty choppy in some areas with fps drops. Even when walking around a station looking left right up and down is choppy. I will say my tsw2 routes play very smooth on tws3

    I had an accident caused by this error. I was driving a G6 locomotive on an empty track and suddenly a wagon appeared in front. I hit it at 30 km/h. The locomotive derailed.

    Saw similar/same issue on Clinchfield XSX

    pause said about 47 cars but I looked behind the F7 and saw only mine, 2 power units, back cab and 3 cars

    I got closer to each and they started loading in one by one then all the rest loaded

    I have also seen this issue with...

    train of wagons coming towards me then suddenly the interior of the loco appears and, after a short while the rest of the exterior of the loco appears.

    Seems pretty widespread. Can you please get someone to look into this? DTG JD
