Xbox I've Played Tsw4 For 2 Hours. Here Are Some Bugs And Issues I've Noticed, Some Since Tsw1!

TSW 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 bugs:


The free mode camera. On right clicking, the left analogue stick will alternate with the cursor movement feature that occurs. So you click the right analogue stick to reset the free camera, and the cursor appears that the left stick can move. The train goes past, you click again to reset and low and behold the cursor movement feature has gone.

Various glitches that I've seen before, no point listing because nothing will be done.

Now for the bugs and problems I've noticed so far for TSW4:

1. Scenario creator.

Absolutely piss-poor in comparison to TSW 2 but even still, the same sketchy system. I want to see what platforms I'm arriving at, I want to know before I click what each route will be before clicking on the platform. I'm fed up with spending ages with this trial and error because Blah Blah Platform 4 doesn't let me go the whole route of the line and I can only stop mid-way at Silly Silly Platform 5.

2. Formation designer.

Where do I even start?

Multiple carriages and locos glitching in to each other.
Horrible UI.
Having to scroll ALL the way down to add another carriage.
Bottom of the select screen being cut off so I'm not sure if I'm deleting a carriage or copying it etc.
Can't add random carriages to each other.
Once you select a steam loco and add a passenger carriage, you'd think you could add a freight carriage right? Apparently not.
Want to add a Class 66 at the end? LOL, don't be silly!

3. Can't speed up the free camera. And WHY would I want to press the D-pad "right" when using the analogue stick to go forward, why? What ...... at DTG decided "Yes, brilliant and easy control method".

4. Lack of choosing your own button layout, sorry, is this the 1990's?

Everyone at DTG that develops this, and to those who sign it off. You should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves. It's a good thing this is on Game Pass, it's all its worth.

Never buying another DTG product again, like ever.

I've found some more but hey, what's the point right?

 

Oh to add, can't delete a carriage in the middle of the formation, for some reason. I can't seem to make a formation move IF it has a loco in the middle or at the end either. Honestly this is groundbreakingly embarrasing.

 

You know, if you play the game just to catch bugs, you're obviously going to notice them.

 

if someone has played TSW before for say about 2 hours and never found 1 thing, I would never believe them.

 

Many things I don't even notice until I see someone else mention them. It can and does happen.

 

there are things you won’t know but it’s near impossible not to find something, especially with issues that go across multiple routes.

 

If I'm being honest I just choose to ignore most issues, otherwise once I find one and pay attention to it, I don't think I'd ever stop. A coping mechanism of sorts.

 

I'm with Jack here. I never moticed the missing rail at Redhill until I read about it on the forums.

 

Well, they are quite annoying tbh. It's not about looking for bugs, but when they pop up in your face it's impossible not to notice them. Some of course are minor bugs, but some are quite prominent.

I actually just created a ticket for MSB on TSW2, where two different services, which are basically the same ones, fail due to Vehicle derailing at the very start. I mean, you don't get to do anything. It just fails. So there's no way to complete 2 of the 5 journeys for that route. Yes, there's a workaround for both of these services as they both are continuation of previous service(and identical), so by playing the previous service you can continue into this one by waiting a minute or two. This will give you a gold medal, but it will not complete the journey.

These were not present for TSW2020, so these were clearly poorly adjusted for newer versions of TSW releases.
