Also curious that both times they paused to re-release under a new name it broke more than it fixed :D
Correct. And that's down to the developer's own choices. If they wanted to they could complete their projects. But to say Early Access is bad...
In this case you are correct. I think I've mentioned in the past that this game could sorely use an Early Access program that is truly community...
You'll have a lot of fun with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Enjoy!
Waiting for the typical replies to a reasonable request from a frustrated customer: - Devs don't work for free - Devs gotta eat! - Things are...
It basically is without the label on it. I believe someone at DTG mentioned they don't like the Early Access method, yet they're basically...
I noticed that SimRail did take a long pause recently to upgrade their game engine. For free. Their developers must be starving given the...
They keep saying it's a UE issue as an excuse. (i.e. don't blame me, blame Epic and their engine!). While in fact all we need to do is point and...
Unoptimized game. You'll hear all kinds of excuses for it, but basically you need to live with it if you're going to continue using this product.
Yes my thoughts exactly. There's an entire forum full of ignored suggestions where this one can also reside.
I tried TSW4 on this free play weekend. Took me all of 40 minutes to play and uninstall it. Suffers the same hiccuping frame rates as TSW3...
My condolences for your recent purchase.
Also it looks like we've reached the magic 35 pager. I guess we wait and see whether DTG finally agrees that enough is enough ;)
Agreed. Lots of good laughs when people wonder why so many things are broken when buying on day one. Well, actually I feel sorry for newcomers...
[EDIT - Jan - Antagonistic]
I wonder if its because for a few days everybody had access to Rapid Transit on TSW4 then they fixed the problem. Maybe they just removed...
Who would you be there to guard? There are no passengers :D
But we've been hearing about an effort to fix things for years. Agreed though. Wait until you see actual evidence of bug fixing rather than "all...
I think that's generally a given for any game. I mean unless you refund it, why would you keep playing a game that you truly hate?
Sadly a lot of TSW content falls under this heading more and more :|
Yeah makes sense. Just seems odd to me to p o old established customers driving them away for potentially new ones. Wonder what kind of numbers...
An issue going back years where mastery challenges don't track properly. Sometimes I'd go back to them every few months to see if a latest run...
Well thought out approach. The odd thing is that if TSW4 doesn't outsell or remains flat to TSW3 wouldn't that be considered a failure? I mean...
Who knows if it's a majority or minority staying away. However 800,000 may seem like a large number, but what is the average number per player?...
Maybe by 'next update' he was referring to TSW5 :D
The thing is if MS decided to jump back in and create a quality MSTS2 with modern graphics it wouldn't be about DTG stepping up their game. It...
It's a 100% better multiplayer experience :D
An MSTS2 would be a welcome new addition to this space. It would probably run well too. But I doubt it would ever happen.
I could see a bump when the Just Trains route drops. Could be a saving grace for the game. However even I was interested in many TSW3 and now...
The whales are the few that buy up every piece of DLC on day one. I'm actually pretty shocked how many there are with this game over the years.
I noticed TSW3 patching wasn't mentioned at all on this roadmap. I guess it's a step forward not stringing you along as I was for a year.
No certainly not game breaking, just a big annoyance at most. I actually have no idea what it sounds like. Curious if it's the jackhammering...
To be fair there are far more important issues being worked on at the moment such as the constant crashes on Xbox. Keep bringing this up as an...
I suspect they clicked on too many things in the unreal editor because it made for nice screenshots. Now that they've built routes this way, I...
"working pretty well" and game crashes frequently should not be used in the same sentence to praise a game.
If only this was a new product...
It probably shouldn't be considering its condition.
Just play Simrail and all your multiplayer dreams will already be true.
I don't know about yearly paid updates anymore. Maybe after this year's fiasco they'll think twice about it next year. I guess it all depends on...
Many reports of game crashes on Xbox as well. Wait a little while and maybe the game will get patched.
Same here. The only thing TSW4 provides is free laughs :D
Wonder if it was some pathetic conversation at the top along the lines of "well if somebody bought a route 6 years ago and doesn't want anything...
It's all shareholder speak. And shareholder driven companies in my opinion are a big problem in most industries. Disgusting practices always...
LOL Catan was laughed out of existence within its first few days of release. It was a terrible digital rendition of the physical game. It's as...
Same argument 2 years running. Here's hoping this time around DTG actually listens to their paying customers. Their community sadly lives on...
Regardless of which platform sells the most copies should have zero bearing on where you buy your game. As for your second point, all signs...
Yeah it's basically like FSX 15 years ago. Game runs like junk out of the box but it's up to you to go into the config files and mess around to...
Yeah looks like a leftover oopsie
