but the problem is that it is almost not playable on Xbox since the upgrade to TSW5 because of the blurry texture issue. And since they tried to patch it it sometimes effects other routes too. They postponed to solve this bug at the beginning of 2025 as far as I know. I hope they can do this as quickly as possible so I can enjoy this game again as I already spended hours driving trains. Especially before there is coming more new content like Mittenwaldbahn or Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn, really can't wait for this stuff but sadly knowing that somehow the game is not working fine for me. Although hoped for some release dates on the season of reveals. Can only hope for the best in 2025. I wanna spend so many hours in this game but can't right now. Frankfurt Fulda for example has so many more to offer for what I am using it right now. I don't know how others feel but just wanted to share my thoughts at the end of the year.
I had the same problems on old gen before moving to the series x, so far I haven’t see any burly textures on the series x but that could be luck. it’s probably the hardware being quite old that causes blurry textures, going on I could play most of the older routes without problems but the newer routes have the texture problems mainly at each end and sometimes randomly
Hello t.reizner35 - Our teams are still focussed and working hard to help optimise and improve memory usage across TSW5 routes, which is one of the main causes for the blurry textures (In previous livestreams, executive producer Matt has mentioned about the Texture Memory Budget limits - This also explains why newer hardware may see less of this issue). We'll keep you updated asap, our development teams are getting back on their feet from the break but quickly getting back to it! Thank you for waiting patiently for a resolution to this - once we have our next patches locked in, I hope to share some good news when you can expect improvements soon
Can you also fix the freezing issue on the 2D map please. When it happens sometimes you lose your whole session if you can't escape the map UI.
What always seems to help is to show/hide labels and the map stops being frozen. It's just a workaround and this issue should be fixed, but should still prevent you from loosing an entire session.
You'll have to upgrade anyway since the older consoles will not be supported soon anyway and all new routes will be unplayable.
I remember when the texture issue was prolific in a previous version (can't exactly remember when) especially when zooming in and in photo mode but it was eventually rectified. I have to say I'd rather be able to play the Scottish routes with all those layers and have crashes few and far between and have awful textures (on gen 8!) than have great textures but never be able to finish a service, feels like it's the lesser evil. I do also remember (don't know about now) that this texture issue was visible on older routes like NTP, HRR, WSR etc. Shall have to see if is the same on TSW5.
