Hello there, I bought TSW 5 for Series X. The route itself is cool but it is impossible to do a service from Fulda to Frankfurt. The game crashes every time, about 1,5 km away from Frankfurt HBF. I made some pictures. At first, some textures get blurry, even at the beginning of the timetable service. It happened yesterday with the BR 114 an today with the ICE T. It seems the Series X cannot handle this route I have installed every German DLC so there is a number of traffic on the route. Any Ideas or any Updates planed? I read about this problem when TSW 5 was released, months ago. Regards Martin
Maybe or maybe not related. After finishing a run on Maintalbahn last night, thought I’d see where else I could use the 642. Found the layer on Frankfurt to Fulda, picked one of the half hour RE (I think) runs, but after about a minute of trying to load the run TSW5 CTD with a UE error message. This on Steam/PC.
Neither do I, but of course Series S has had almost all of the layers cut including very little static stock and relatively fewer AI services.
I also own Series X, for me with default timetable some runs you get blurry textures and some hard stuttering but I can finish all the scenarios. The thing changes when I use 101 expert timetable, 101 blurry textures, the coaches and all the other rolling stock in the scenery 100% of the runs.
It's completely unclear what exactly is supposed to layer onto FTF where Series S is concerned, and also what those layers should provide. This is what I have discovered: NID provides one lonely 628 AI service out of Frankfurt. You probably won't notice it unless you go looking for it. MTB provides some more AI around Frankfurt with the 642 and also I think a static 363 at Hanau, which is complete garbage because DTG thinks MTB unlocks actual services with its 363. LFR was supposed to provide the rail tour services, of which there are only 2 in the first place, but you don't even get that, just again some (minimal) static stock at Hanau. There are no other layers that work for Series S that I am aware of. So, as you can see, you do not get any extra services at all from any of the few layers that work for Series S, and even these are a small sample of the layers that are available for other platforms. I would also mention that, although the Kijls and Tadgs are present as DTG has said, the Kijls only show up in one scenario, and the Tadgs only form a small rake of static stock at Hanau. These wagons are not in any freight services, which of course are just the intermodal trains and the four(!) Habbins trains. The lack of static stock really hurts the immersion on this route, and the missing services, especially those from SKW and the 101, make it seem empty. I don't have the expert 101 but I don't know if that even works here for Series S or not. I will say that the Series S probably can't handle all that this route has, but my issue is that DTG didn't communicate about Series S being throttled before release, and they still can't really say how this route is actually supposed to present on Series S, because they don't know. Most of what they have said has been wrong. They don't know how their own game is supposed to work.
So I disabled all S-Bahns on the Route to try. Made a timetable run RB51 with the 146 to Frankfurt HBF. The Game crashed again at the same point. About 1,2 km away from Frankfurt HBF. It is still too much for the Series X
