    Decided to do a round of Bremen-Oldenburg, starting with 11:13 RB (14814) from Bremen to Oldenburg, all stops, relatively uneventful, other than having to get used to the controls a bit again.

    I noticed a new bug that's slightly annoying for immersion, but not gamebreaking.
    At the back, at the DB Bnrdzf 463.0, while having checked multiple times if anything was wrong, it showed wrong headlight aspects. (2 red, 1 white (middle)).
    I could not find a way to turn this off, other than turning all the headlights off.
    Now, I'm Dutch, and I'm not sure if this would have any meaning in Germany, but where I'm from, showing this combination of headlights would indicate there's an emergency.

    Also, of note, I noticed that my destinationboard had reset.

    Other than that, this journey went fine.
    I arrived at Oldenburg, shutdown the locomotive, and switched ends, now waiting in the cab car for the 12:07 RB (14819) returnservice to start.

    During preperation I encountered again that the destinationboard had reset again after the official service had started.
    I set out, and kept noticing that even after having set the destinationboard multiple times, it kept resetting.
    Annoying, but again, it doesn't hinder the completion of the service.

    After this, nearing the end of the service, this is when the real trouble began.

    I found myself waiting signal showing a red aspect before being able to enter Bremen Neustadt.
    After being denied entry into the next block by the signaller I decided to go look at the map and find out what the problem was.
    This was when I noticed there was a queue happening at every signal leading up to Bremen Hbf, all the way upto a, I assume as it was just a 2 wagon consist, BR612 that was stuck right in the signal halfway on the platform, and with it, holding up all the traffic behind it.
    Important to note: This is a bug I remember I encountered in TSW3!

    Now, being annoyed, I remember we're on TSW4 now, so I decided to try and delete the stuck train holding up all the other traffic, and sure enough, slowly traffic started moving again, and after about a minute or so of traffic slowly clearing before me, I was finally allowed to enter the Bremen Neustadt platform.

    Fun didn't last though, as before I even reached the platform, the game started lagging until after a good few seconds a pop-up showed itself saying "Fatal error", and the game closed itself.

    And that was the story of me trying to have a nice relaxing time in the new and "improved" TSW4 :)

    I do enjoy some of the new features, but come'on.
    If you're going to ask full price for a new iteration of TSW3, at least fix these kinds of bugs.

    Had a similar experience on Vorarlberg. There was a AI train stuck that was causing a traffic jam behind it with me at the end. I also deleted the stuck train and we all started moving again. Then, just like you, it crashed when I got to the spot where the stuck train was. I guess deleting stuck trains doesn't fix red light issues.
