    Does anyone know what's causing the shimmering trains I've been seeing. It's hard to capture but the trains go all shimmery and blurred as you pass them. it only lasts a few seconds then it's fine

    Something to do with motion blur I think

    Matt once said this was caused by the game engine not being able to tell if a train was in motion or not.

    Seems silly IMO.

    I noticed it was very common on PS4 for SKW.

    The issue only increased once custom liveries were rendering.

    once I moved to PS5 the issue went away, but has since been coming back with newer routes in TSW 3.

    I think there may be a performance related factor.

    It did, most commonly I got it on WCL approaching Penzance.
    The stock in the engineers yard always goes mad.

    It's this.

    Had it regularly when motion blur was switched on. Now switch off and not had it since

    It was certainly happening a lot in TSW2 as well, so it's nothing new. Hell, I even had something similar happening way back in TSW2020 on SPG, though that required uncoupling cars that caused them to "vibrate" back and forth between their buffers.

    I think I see this same issue on oil tankers parked up in the yard just outside of providence on Boston Sprinter, I was thinking they do it as they were loading a custom livery.

    I keep motion blur off
