    I posted this on the PS5 forum but I'm posting it here in order to hopefully get it on the known issues list, as this bug currently makes 50% of the default services on this route unusable.

    This happens on ALL RE9 Seigen time table services regardless of time. Through that thread we found out that the issue is that the Pantograph is physically missing from ALL RE9 Seigen timetable trains. This essentially makes 50% of the time table unusable.

    This issue seems isolated to TSW3 from what I can tell.

    This is the original video I recorded and put in my original post seeking help, before I knew it was a bug.



    You can see the missing Pantograph at around the 4 minute mark.



    Other users have verified the issue for me in the previous thread and they are indeed seeing the same missing Pantograph on PS5. I don't know if this extends to any other platforms.

    Would someone from DTG please be kind enough to just let us know they are aware of the issue or it's on a list? I'm just trying to get the right eyes to see this and it's a pretty huge problem and really make a huge portion of the content unusable in TSW3.

    JD, can you please pass this on to the team?

    My original thread just for reference where the bug and issue and verified and discovered: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...hen-doing-the-re9-siegen-hbf-any-ideas.58595/

    a friend of mine suggested a great workaround, for now:
    1. Select route Koln Aachen
    2. When selecting trains, select "On foot", and select Aachen Hbf as starting station, and choose time
    3. When you spawn, enter into the 442, it should be working fine

    Until they truly fix this, this is a great way to play those services

    I can confirm this is a problem in TSW4 on PS5 as well.

    In TSW2 and TSW3, there was a mod, that fixed it for players on Steam. But TSW4 and mods, .... so probably it will never be fixed for TSW4 (or other platforms than Steam)

    Can you confirm this issue is logged? The formations are wrong since TSW2. The fix is an easy one.

    Yes but I want DTG to confirm they are aware. It's something a DTG dev could do within an hour, editing the formations. You know well they need to be pushed "a little". ;)

    DTG is aware. As I stated in the other thread: I told DTG Matt about this bug during a charity live stream he did a few weeks back, and he checked it live during the stream. He saw it for himslef so he is definitely aware. He said he would have the team look into it.

    Good.

    There really should be a pinned "Bug tracking" thread which shows the state of reported and confirmed bugs. That's what I'd tell my community managers to do if I were Executive Producer. :)

    Just out of curiousity I tried the affected services with the "New Journeys" expansion timetable and the bug is present on those as well.

    Yes, that timetable uses the same formations.
