Game Update Add-ons Manager Is Here.

Only word i can say is: finally.
But on a serious note it's really nice is finally coming.

 

Hooray!

 

If this new add- on feature can be released independently for each platform, why does it need to be released for PC users at all? Speaking personally, I don't need it. My PC installation is working just fine.

( Needless to say, I'm very happy for PS5 users. )

 

Possibly for optimisation?

 

Well it's been real guys we finally made it

 

Great news, it seemed that the day would never come and here it is. Let's hope it works well and doesn't bring any additional problems as we players have been waiting for a solution for a long time, but also for DTG who will want to turn the page as soon as possible and forget this nightmare.

 

Thank you so much to the entire team. A day long in the making!

 

For PS users, it's about time this happened. Hopefully this will help with optimization on Xbox and PC. I hope it goes out smoothly

 

Fantastic looking forward to having all my purchased content in one place on PS5 finally

 

Great news. Looking forward to tomorrow now. Great work guys.

 

It should reduce RAM usage, which is always a good thing. Besides, I would venture DTG want to have a common code base going forward with as few platform-specific variations as possible.

 

Find goodness I have been dying for this Close on one of the ones on the ps5

 

Finally. Thank you.

 

Well, I guess we'll have to carefully observe how it works for PS5 users. If it works flawlessly for them, I'll be less concerned, though I have to believe it will work differently on the Steam platform for PC users.

And I'd still go with: " If it ain't broke, don't fix it. " for PC.

 

I'm with you. I hope there's an option to opt-out for Xbox and PC.

 

This is fantastic news! Thanks to everyone at DTG for all the work in designing, building and implementing this bespoke system for TSW.

I still don't agree with the way that the months of required development time was not clearly spelt out when TSW3 was released but I'm just happy it's here now.

Can't wait to see all my collection in one place for the first time in ages!

 

THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFEEEEEEEE

 

Then maybe you need to get one!!


( Just kidding )

 

I live quite far away from the life store, so it’ll be a bit until I can go get one

 

Woop excellent news!!! add-on Tetris can be chucked in the bin!

 

Pinch me

Finally happening. Been waiting an age for this.

Going to download all the missing routes tonight, then when I get home from work tomorrow just have to download the patch.

Then just enjoy all missing routes & layers that have been missing for far too long

 

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the DLC
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the trains!

It’s because that’s the code for the game now. They aren’t going to have two different game codes in development at once. All platforms have to have it - this is what has been explained before.

 

At least dtg have made a promise and stuck to it instead of sweeping it under the carpet

 

Woohoo, at last, that's great news, big thanks to all involved as I'm sure it has taken many hours and loss of sleep.. and that's just us PS5 players!
Looking forward to testing it out tmw

 

Yes, I'm aware of that, but it doesn't allay my concerns. It's still something I don't need and I don't like being compelled to use it.

Sorry if I sound like a Luddite, but my anxiety is real nonetheless.

 

Yes!!!
Some people are probably going to have a nice splurge on the store tomorrow!
I can't afford that all at once, so have already bought the routes as they released in anticipation of this day. At least I can play them now!

 

Eureka! Well, I’m only going to believe it once all the routes with all the layers appear tomorrow, but the end might actually be in sight.

Good plan. I’m gonna steal that if you don’t mind

 

Finally what should have been a Day 1 Thing is here. Can't wait to go On TSW 4 Where the same problem arises

 

FINALLY!

 

Since I am a PC user, the problem does not affect me, but I am also happy for all PS5 users.

 

I'm happy for you consoleros to finally receive this long awaited codechange

 

Might do the same

 

Dont rest on one’s laurels , there are plenty things to fix, that will bring you ovation from players.

 

I'll start downloading tomorrow morning. Should be finished until 11 am (UTC +1 in my place).

 

Glad to see it finally coming.

Considering the wait to finally get this, and the need for many of us to hold-off on buying DLC during all that time, it'd be a nice gesture if DTG offered a hefty discount on DLC the next time there's a sale on the PlayStation Store. I've got some catching-up to do!

 

Being a player on PC, I expect, knowing DTG, to still have a gas factory, to manage.
They better repair what has been dragging for years.

 

...in the words of Fred Flintstone: Yappa Dabba Doo! Many thanks again to all the programmers and beta testers who tested countless builds and finally got a stable version. It's also fair that PS5 users get to enjoy it first, but in the end all platforms will benefit.

I'm sure we'll see a much more relaxed JD and Matt in the next roadmap stream.

 

I've had TSW3 uninstalled since November due to frustrations with my PS5 experience. If Add-Ons Manager works as intended, I'll likely reinstall and maybe even pick up the new NEC route in the process. Thanks to DTG for (presumably) getting this sorted at long last.

 

Release at 11 a. m. UTC tomorrow?

 

Superb news. It’s been a long journey, but the train is almost at the platform.

 

Even if this does not really affect me as a PC player, I am happy for the PlayStation players! And any core development in the game is great news.

 

Finally PS5 players get equality with us XBox players. About time. Should never have been an impediment DTG needed to work around, good on them for finally resolving it.

 

Awesome, as soon as I've installed and confirmed working, I will buy all the recent addons. Will be great to have everything installed in one place, without splitting between ps5 and ps4 versions

 

It's good that it is finally here but I wonder whether that alone solves the problem. If I understood Matt correctly, separating rolling stock from routes would be the next step - or is that already taken care of internally? If not, then the manager itself is only the first step but without much consequence as long as the download packages are not set up properly, so that the manager can e.g. extract the ICE 1 from Kassel-Würzburg without loading/mounting the route itself.

EDIT: Here's the quote from Matt, about the size difference between a loco DLC and an entire route: "Currently that size difference doesn't help because it still needs to mount the entire product to get the little loco or wagon inside it BUT next phase would be to investigate splitting loco's out into their own DLC depots (backend thing, you'd still buy a product as normal but it would come with a bunch of things that can be independently mounted and unmounted). Once that's done, the chances of you having 64gb of 1 route and hundreds of locomotives is... slim."

 

I don't understand the technical details, how it works etc., but it is a phenomenal achievement on the part of DTG, to be able to overcome the download limit, and presumably stay within Sony's PS5 parameters. You have to salute the accomplishment.

I sincerely hope that the launch of this update goes silky smooth and the feedback is all positive, so that this pesky problem can be laid to rest for PS5 players and the beleaguered community managers.

 

In the words of wrestling legend Rick Flair:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

The day has arrived!!
I never thought this day would come
What am I going to moan about now ?
Oh hang on

 

I think that with time this will definatley be Sony‘s problem that they will need to fix. Many other games are getting more and more DLC which is also getting larger. It wasn‘t there to begin with, so perhaps Sony need to realise it was a bad idea.
