    Anybody else have an issue where the game pauses for between 0.5-1 second after loading passengers while it updates the next station objective?

    It's not a big deal, because you're stationary at that point, but it seems to only be these types of objective update that cause a pause. When setting up a cab, for example, they update instanteously.

    I wondered if it related to distance, but otherwise just curious. Not looking for/expecting a fix, as such.

    when finishing a task it saves a checkpoint, there's a command to disable it though

    You don't need what Myron is writing... Very simple under settings -> General -> Save Game -> Turn this off!

    Ahh, okay - this makes sense then. I turned the checkpoint feature back on recently, so thanks for clearing that up!

    I`m also at work, but pretty sure Jetwash includes a command in his lighting mod.
    Have a look in the Manual for the Lighting improvements. It contains some lines for the engine.ini, and I am sure it's one of those.

    From memory, something like ts2.save.CheckpointsEnabled=0

    Yes thats the case but i never add this line and maybe thats the reason that i had some hickups earlier!

    [SystemSettings]
    ts2.dbg.JourneyChapterLockOverride=1
    ts2.save.CheckpointsEnabled=0
    ts2.RewardMonitor.ShowLowImpactNotificationsAsFull=0
    TimeOfDaySystem.VolumetricCloud.GroundContribution=1

    Very annoying as it doesn't register the keys for opening doors when it lags like that!

    Is this on an HDD or SSD?

    When I had TSW on a HDD (going back to TSW2 days here), there was often a pause after objectives, and a fairly lengthy one (minutes in some cases) at the end of a service.

    I haven't noticed this, and I have save game on (I wouldn't play TSW without save game). But I have an M.2 drive, so maybe that's the difference.

    Its a low price upgrade with a high result. Every Motherboard has SATA or a Nvme port

    so to disable the checkpoint should it be ts2.save.CheckpointsDisable=0?

    command has already been named above, AND you misspelled "disable"... AAAND Disable=0 would imply it stays enabled.

    As a wise man once said... People speak because they have something to say, and other people speak because they have to say something.

    This disables manual saving as well, though. The command only disables automatic checkpoints.

    And this do nothing. I've always disable a save function and still have freezes after every task completion. So ini-lines only.
