I’m running on a PS4 slim and when driving the ICE on Köln-Aachen, particularly at high speeds, there are constant frame rate hitches every few seconds. Most of the time they last around a half or a quarter of a second hitch, sometimes as long as a second. It literally makes the route unplayable at that speed. I had the frame rate counter up and every few seconds it’s dipping into red, I.e.under 10fps. I can’t comment on the Talent 2 as I haven’t driven it yet Anybody else have this? It’s probably better on PS4 pro. Bakerloo line is mostly stable but also has a few hitches in the overground section. Edit: Updated with video below.
bart2day I'm on a 2015 PS4 and on that route it's been fine but on Bakerloo I definately get those issues. I also get flashing trees on Sand Patch grade on the side of hills!!!!
Hmm. It’s strange that some people are getting the issue on different routes to others. Here is a clip of a particularly bad section on Köln-Aachen taken on my PS4 slim. The frame-rate counter in the top right fluctuates from yellow to red every couple of seconds and the slowdown is really noticeable. For some reason it’s just not smooth.
I think the reason this issue affects some players and not others on the same platform could be related to HD setup - Internal or external, free HD memory (not sure) but I do recommend to anyone if you are experiencing too many hiccups and frame drops to perform a quick cache clear> Press and hold the PlayStation button on your controller Select Turn Off PS4 Let the PlayStation 4 fully power down and wait at least 30 seconds Restart the PlayStation 4 Hold L1 + R1 while booting up the game Note: This will also reset your brightness setting and choice of language.
Did anybody notice that these problems, noticeable also on TSW2020, occur always in the same spots? I appreciate how people try to help, but, as I say almost everyday, they're not unit-related problems. It's the game. If you don't notice that, is just because it doesn't bother you. Just take a ride on the overground section of Bakerloo Line, even as a passenger, and pay attention. No way you won't notice at least 4-5 bad freezing issues. No matter if you're on PS4, Xbox or even PC.
And talking about Köln-Aachen, the game always freezes just after passing under the bridge towards Aachen, a few kms outside Köln station. It happens on every platform, according to the videos l watched on YouTube. 53:27
