this blurry texture issue that going on that dtg trying to fix, if they get it fixed for tsw 6 and when they release tsw7 will they have to do this all over again?
Fixes will most likely transfer over to newer versions of a game. However, when they for example fix it in the end of the TSW6 era while TSW7 is already in development, they have to implement the fix also in TSW7. I've seen bugs coming back in newer versions of a game, while it was fixed in a previous one. Even patches can bring back bugs, when the source code for that patch was older and not contain earlier fixes. So good version management is really important, you have to apply changes to every source you use.
Which at the moment is questionable, given that it's probably memory- related. If they did manage a fix, it wouldn't be very useful if it couldn't be applied to all existing routes.
That's the problem: the bug is so deep that everything that will be broken when it is fixed will have to be repaired. Unfortunately, this happens when lots of features are added on top of the game engine, but the engine itself is never really touched :/.
New features are added to the game and engine, but the added stuff can be to much memory wise. It's also not said that fixing will break things, it can be they only have to optimize stuff in the engine or core of the game to limit the memory usage. They named already one of the causes, namely the live map. Maybe they even do not have to touch the routes, when the cause is not in the routes.
The longer it takes to release a fix for the blurry text, the less loyal customers will trust me. I'm not buying new DLC anymore, it's a lottery. It'll be hard to win back lost customers.
I stopped playing about a week ago and haven't looked back. Also realising that I do not really miss it, which is kind of sad, but nice to find out as well!! Still waiting for all those magic patches...
that the thing at this stage all there doing is adding new features and new routes to the tsw series game. there no engine upgrade like to 4.27 or dlass add on etc.. one option is to delay the release of tsw7 untill 2027-28 until the blurry texture is fixed. and release expansion pack like rush hour in 2026 or something. that got to be tiring knowing you might have to spend half next year fixing bug all over again. unless the yearly release game is keeping the company above float. sad for those who bought dlc and have the burry texture issue. but i know dtg trying there best to fix the issue but maybe the timeline they given not that big enough. we will see what happens.
How do we know DTG is doing their best to fix the issue? This blurry texture issue exists already for quite some time, so do other not fixed bugs. Some of them even going back to the first TSW routes.
