Nobody was hurt, they all vanished into thin air as I approached them, they’re in the Shadow Realm now or something, … or the Backrooms…
Also, completely unrelated, but a 380 was inside of my train (the 314 in the background), so when trying to spawn the service from the menu, the game would instantly derail when spawning. I tried the old save as it fades trick, and upon reloading, I was in the void, I could see anything, I couldn’t move and it was as if I fell through the map, and the mini-map was distorted and warped as hell. But apparently I was in Glasgow Central. Also the camera angle changed when the service failure occurred. I was able to spawn on foot and delete the 380, and start the service.
DTG really need to get to grips with the people and passenger spawners spilling on to the line. The problem is still extant at Harrow on the fast lines driving WCMLS. I “killed” two people on the track the other day with a 350 at 110 MPH. It isn’t really funny as if any of the sponsors or licensors got hold of this, or Network Rail, they would be giving some very strong instructions to either fix it or pull their routes and trains from the game.
What's the difference between this and mowing threw pedestrians in games like GTA, you can't be enraged by this on TSW but actively kill Hundreds, probably thousands, in GTA with pure glee and smiles.......
GTA is a game focusing on that sort of action gameplay. As far as I know there are no real brands of car in GTA. (Could be wrong as I don’t play it). TSW has real world licenced trains from companies who don’t want thier trains mowing down passengers. Pretty sure none of the real car companies would want to be accociated with or condone the content in GTA
Don't be daft. GTA is the 5th largest selling game franchise (444m copies) in the world, and GTA V is the second largest selling single game in the world (210m copies), raking in $8.5b revenue.* Given the opportunity, what car maker, and even any organisation, wouldn't want to have their name/brand in the game to hoover up some of those dollars? If Rockstar/T2 ever decided to have some kind of tie-up with a car organisation, their letterbox would be so full of requests they'd have to get a second dog to chew up all the mail Spoiler *All data from Wikipedia
Because a real railway fatality is a messy and traumatic experience for all concerned. I have encountered a few and working in the Western Route Control it was not unusual to get three or four a week, particularly on Thames Valley. The NRN emergency phone going or latterly the GSM-R with the Star Trek “red alert” klaxon pushed the adrenaline overdrive as 9 times out of 10 it was a driver calling in that he had hit someone. There are many rail staff who play this game and they should not need to be reminded of what can happen IRL.
I totally understand your point, but my point is any fatality is messy, many people are killed injured and suffer horrific situations every day, but your still happily mow through pedestrians in GTA, pump bucketloads of lead into anything that moves with a pulse in countless other games and not care one bit about if anybody that has survived a mass shooting or lost people in fatal crashes see or plays said games. So again you can't be enraged by this demanding it gets sorted and not demand the same for all other games, that is my point.........
I’m not saying the game isn’t incredibly successful, and it probably is a fantastic game otherwise those figures you mention would not be possible. But, there still aren’t any real licenced cars in the game despite all the financial opportunities and I guess that comes down to be style of gameplay. Chevrolet marketing their latest Corvette „as played in Grand Theft Auto“ probably would be the best thing for their brand. - No matter how much money can be made.
Omg! What are these bunch from the P-Way gang not in orange overalls. That’s very unprofessional. I will be making a complaint to ScotsRail this instant!
Also just a little reminder that this bug has been present since the tail end of TSW 4! Echoing what Vern said, it's time for DTG to get their finger out of their ears and get this sorted. These ever lasting bugs in the game that take forever to get patched, if they ever do, is exactly why I only play TSW here or there while TSC is played more consistently for my railway fix. TSW 5 in general has just been a huge let down for me personally. If it weren't for JT's WCML route I wouldn't have bothered switching over to 5.
The whole point of GTA is to do this kind of stuff? TSW is a simulation?????? You aren’t doing this kind of stuff in real life are you? The whole point of games like GTA is to pump lead into other people, it’s a complete other genre? Just because one game has it because it’s supposed to have it doesn’t mean another game is supposed to. It’s like saying. “This game has guns so every game should have guns.” It’s such a poor argument.
When kids see adults walking up and down railway tracks, they might get the idea that there's nothing wrong with doing the same. Just saying.
A similar bug I have encounter a lot over the past few years on multiple routes is the passenger exit onto the wrong-side bug, the doors will open on both player and AI services, and the passengers will go through the doors, and onto the track, sometimes as I speed through on the opposite line. Definitely not something any driver would ever want to see. It’s been awhile however since I last encountered this bug.
Kinda of reminds me of a recent spate of incidents on the Tyne & Wear Metro involving their new BR Class 555’s. Driver error resulted in trains doors opening wrong side of the train. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c985k4gne4ko.amp
One of my best friends is an LNER driver and another is a BTP Officer. Both of which would be extremely upset to see this. It’s not good enough DTG, it needs sorting.
So basically DTG, we’ve seen it, we’ve said it more times to count over the past year since TSW3, now sort it! Please this game has such a potential with some of the developers and people’s hard work which is ruined by core issues (e.g graphics).
aye, cant remember what service, i had just finished a 350 run into euston then caught a 390 back to milton keynes, thought why not go 1st class after leaving euston, walked through about 2 coaches before i realised that the doors on both sides where still open LOL
I fully see your point, but again the point I'm making is they are both games, we all know what's real and what isn't, so the argument that railway workers might be affected from the bug in the game thus needing it to be removed immediately, equally applies to to all other games that workers of all trades and descriptions might be affected in the same way. People need to learn to separate reality from what gets projected on the TV screen, or maybe I'm just so cold to the world and it is in fact true I've got a lump of solid granite for a heart and have zero emotions to anything.......
No it’s you who are missing the point. If you play GTA or any other combat game you fully expect mangling people with vehicles or removing their heads with a shotgun blast is part of the gameplay. It’s accepted as part of the fun. However a train simulation should not have people wandering randomly about the track - it is not part of what the game is trying to emulate. Most railway people are actually made of quite stern stuff when it comes to these sort of events, but it doesn’t mean they should be compelled to be reminded of it because an incompetent developer cannot sort out a simple in game algorithm. It shouldn’t be there and it needs to be sorted.
While I respect your point I do fully disagree, in the world I live in demanding that something needs to removed and is unacceptable because it shows a possible death in game but at the same time actively and very willingly causing many hundreds of deaths in other games is just biblical levels of hypocrisy...... Not wanting to drag the debate on, will shake hands and no doubt have another civil non aggressive debate again at some point good sir......
The whole point of different genres is to expect different things, you’re the kind of person who finds it acceptable for a game to have billions of bugs in it just because another game has those bugs as intentional game design. Of course we all have different opinions and you do seem like a brick wall with your own opinion, so I understand why you don’t want to go any further.
You still get punished for it in GTA. But......and this shouldn't need explaining, Train Sim isn't GTA.
