Hello, I bought this route last week, and I can't unlock any achievement for it. First, I tried playing it in TSW2. I played some services, collected stuff, nothing pops. I noticed that half of the achievements are for the 483 loco, which I don't have, so I figured OK, all these achievements are for the old DLC, which I don't own. Next, I tried playing his DLC in TSW3. After being unable to load it on PC, I'm now playing it on XSX, where it works fine. I collected all the stuff, 40/40, no achievement. Completed a service, no progress on IOW: Island Gold. So, these too are for the old DLC? Are there no achievements for the 2022 version? Thanks!
I believe it was mentioned that the 2022 version of the route had no achievements and only the original had them. Something to do at the time with the the trophy limit on PlayStation. I think this was also a reason why the 2022 version of the route had a lower purchase price (at least part of the reason)
Yes and no. Even the original route is the same length, but costs more (although even that one has a reduced price over regular routes due to the limited length). 2022 is more of a quasi loco add-on where the route was tossed in so that the stations would properly fit the new train. But unlike other loco add-ons didn't include extra achievements. Would be nice though if the Island Line achievements would unlock using the 2022 version of the route.
