Epic Games Game Crash On Startup

After installing the 5 deluxe DLCs it just started regularly from the EGS launcher

 

But even though I installed it, the ECML route doesn't show up in route selection (Vorarlberg und LA do).

 

Couldn't organise the proverbial piss up in a brewery!

 

Thank you, JD. I really appreciate this.

 

So just to clarify:

Legacy DLCs (I tried RRO and LGV), that have been promised only for Sept 26, can be installed and played.

Installing "Smithfield13" for example resulted in TVL appearing.

ECML does not show up in my game, even though it is marked as installed in the add-on manager.

 

The game works now, but the east coast main line and flying scotsman is not showing up anywhere, and they are installed

 

Still stuck on the loading screen. Thanks DTG for nothing.

 

I'm currently updating tsw4 and it says it's taking up 107GB. Is that normal?

 

The TSW4 installation takes substantially more disk space than the TSW3 installation, what really seems a bit weird.

I am at 326 GB with about 60 DLCs installed.

 

The 'bundled DLCs' are actually missing, though, just as I feared, including the locos that 'live' on those routes.

ECML and the Scotsman on the other hand appeared now, apparently after an update to the files.

 

I've tried reinstalling and even downloaded all 43 add-ons I have, but I'm still having issues getting it to start. It's frustrating to have spent over 100€ on the special edition only to be stuck with a 330 GB loading screen. While it's great that others have had success, I'm at a loss for what else to try.

 

Worked fine after downloading/installing all add-ons

 

Alright this is doing my busted head in! TSW4 was at 71%, and all i did was restart my laptop as the fans were running at higher speed than normal. What happens next? The laptop reboots, and I'm punched with '0%'. Now I've gotta restart the whole thing. None of this should be happening, especially to a game where we've been promised 5 days early access. Not so 'early' now is it?
