Xbox questions; - Any progress on audio popping? - Any active work on fixing z-fighting? (At least the tsw5 content, as previously stated)

New street not being a ghost town, mainly.

This is true. Lots of people have been saying that they should stop releasing things and sort out the texture issues. Maybe that's what they are...

Probably because they know it's a blurry mess. But I agree, not good.

You're probably right, best to stick on topic, before we branch off further away from it. Although the puns were just being to blossom.

DTG are aware, but the problem has them stumped. However, a fix really wood be good.

How are you finding WCMLS without the pendo, Vern? I only really like UK stuff, but for €13 I'm a little tempted.

Doesn't make sense. They fixed them for Cardiff, but left these for ages. :|

I think he means that the original time table will remain separate, should anyone wish to use it. Like of like east coast way and cathcart. They...

Same here

I'm guessing you have to have Gamepass, to see when the deals are ending? I can see the discounts if I were to have Gamepass, but that's all.

It was said at the release of tsw 5, that anything from the core routes would be fixed. Obviously it wasn't, and like you, I highly doubt it will...

Whilst Zfighting is apparently something unique to xbox, they've known since around June or July last year what the fix is. They've even said this...

Are there any manual junctions that need changing?

I've read one article online, that said the full spring sale maybe not start until Friday.

It's an ongoing issue, unfortunately. One that dtg are working to resolve.

Yes please

I was just thinking the same thing. Thank you Matt, for taking the time to explain,on a weekend especially.

Hopefully, it's something the team can resolve. As (I know your well aware) it can spoil what is an otherwise very enjoyable experience.

Matt, could this maybe go some way to explaining the worsening of audio popping on tsw 5? For example, it will happen on a tsw 4 route played...

Even the audio popping on xbox was there before tsw 5, but only rarely. It's much worse now. Even on pre tsw 5 routes. Only seems to be in cabs....

Fast forward to 2025, and it's still there. Worse than ever.

DTG Matt Is there any specific reason why audio popping is much worse on tsw 5, compared to previous versions?

From what I've seen from YouTube videos, performance looks fairly good. Unfortunately, the 153 has the sound popping issue, and some Zfighting...

From what I remember, TSW has always had audio problems in some form on another. Remember the early days of bad audio occlusion? Where the...

What ever was changed for tsw 5 to improve the audio, can't they just role it back. Much less popping in tsw 4.

Here we are, here's a clip from the roadmap. https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxt00Pu5UxDHV5vHfEzr5cH9aD5qHyeQkt?si=ahHvpDZzK4zQBIij

I believe the reason/excuse given now, is Unreal again. Xbox handles the audio differently. Much like the Zfighting, that's all xbox's fault too.

That's really weird. I mean it's good that it doesn't affect both. But I wonder what was done differently to the 153.

DTG Jamie any news to share at all? New content is still being released with the same issue.

Is it on the 150 too? or just the 153?

Flickering textures had apparently been re-raised to the art team (again) Blurry textures, nothing new to report.

This is true enough.

Could it be a possibility in future, when gen 8 support is inevitably ended?

In the April road map, they'd made no progress with audio popping, sadly.

Any news on this fix at all, please DTG Matt ?

How are you finding tsw on ps5, compared to series x? I've been considering changing, I can't stand the Zfighting and audio popping on xbox.

Nope, we can't.

No apparent plan to fix any (even most recently released content) to get rid of Zfighting. It's been raised with the art team again. So it's...

For Xbox platforms - When will Zfighting be fixed? (on at least tsw 5 core content) as stated shortly after it's release last September - As the...

Is the loco free from Z-fighting and audio popping on Xbox?

Probably all the extra features added on top of an already not very well optimized previous version.

Almost like another preservation crew would be ideal. But like you say, unlikely to happen. Yes, we pay the same as other platforms and get the...

I feel exactly the same. Yes it didn't happen before tsw 2. I can't understand why it's been left unattended for so long. Some locos like the 323...

:D:D:D

They've been given feedback from a real driver too; https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxRkr9pg3Mk71PReAxxULUzp5jwxdFDYCs?si=hsyuuVf0FDvBOmuU

Not my video (as I haven't purchased the route because of the Zfighting and audio popping) Just listen to the audio quality on xbox once the...

Full agree. But I think also part of the problem is, they know that once they dangle the next route carrot out there, all attention moves to this....

Something else that is a little annoying, you'll get a question pop up on a preview or roadmap, regarding a third party product. Someone will...

Vern, even if DTG don't have the skill set in house to untangle the core. Surly there must be companies out there with the skills, who can be...
