Steam Gwe Tsw4 Reading Platform Stripes????

I just started up and went to start a Reading to London timetable with class 165 Networker and saw this.

Strange!!

 

I validated files.

Turned DX12 off.

Same thing.

I think it gets darker if you turn clouds to maximum for some reason.

 

Well yes, clouds make things darker since it's blocking out lightn just like in real life

 

The stripes are appearing under a solid roof. That whole are should be shaded even without clouds.

 

GWE's lighting was broken in the last patch, nothing you can do other than to play it in TSW3. Considering this and the HST wipers, this route is now completely busted.

 

I submitted a ticket anyway.
The other stations so far don't seem to be affected.

I still highly recommend this route even though it is temporarily like this.

I love Midland Mainline more though.

 

I'm having the same issue. I hope they fix this given it's the route I'm making a scenario pack for in the Public Editor.

 

Another texture mismatch. If you move away, it'll be replaced with a correct mipmap.

 

I guess it will be fixed but just checked it now and it hasn't been fixed.
I'd say by April, hopefully.

 

More of these issues.

Found at Manchester (NTP). Broken texture like at Reading. Moving closer the artefacts disappear.

Can you confirm this? Just spawn in at Reading, the ground textures are completely messed up.

And seeing similar effects on other routes, this would point to a core issue.

 

here too
this really needs fixing
the station looks really ugly now

 

I was going to do it today, but decided to do other things this weekend. But tomorrow evening I plan to go in and take detailed log of this, plus some other issues on GWE, mainly at Reading and log them as tickets. I advise others do the same. As someone who managed IT support team, the more I would see of something being logged, the clearer I can see how many it's impacting. So, I'd say same thing applies here. Just 1 ticket per person who wants to contribute if you find it annoying, so we don't spam them.

Just a confirmation is something you could expect anyway here, as it's not something that needs any description how to reproduce.

 

hehe just walking around at reading station on a clear day should be enough

 

No it doesn't need a description of how to re-produce, but a ticket is still going to ensure it goes to the right team quicker.

 

I also have a few other things to log, which is what I meant by go in and take a detailed log. Such as missing platform markers on some Reading platforms and some misconfigured PIS boards, which I confirmed in the editor but didn't take screenshots of

 

Fair enough. Most of this won't be fixed, I don't think they will touch the route - but those texture issues are alarming and point to the core, same as Paddington lighting that's broken now (and used to be good.)

If you create a topic "Thanks DTG for this" you'll find the mods quickly communicating with you

 

Hah unfortunately true.

I'm hoping that if it's not specifically core and requires them to touch the plugin, they'll quickly go in and fix the bits I'm going to log too. I got around it by cloning the board and literally hanging it underneath in my test scenario and setting it to the right platform, so it's a very quick fix thankfully. Some clever modder could probably fix it too.

 

What are they changing (without a mention in the patch notes) that is breaking my beautiful old routes? Older routes like these shouldn’t be getting affected by changes to the current lighting as they have an older time of day system and skybox etc.

 

Just wanted to add in, same texture issue on Xbox series x at reading.

 

And PS4 at reading

 

DTG Alex Do you know if there's already a bug report about this? If not, I will try to fill out a report when I'm back from holiday

 

it sure looks ugly with those platform stripes
