    No, it counts as a different platform. You'll only be able to access content bought on the specific store/platform you get TSW 5 on.

    Hello Mister DTG-Chris , how are you??.

    I asked BritishAce on his latest YouTube video in regards to the WCML TSW 5 Route with the Class 390 the video is called TRAIN SIM WORLD FIRST LOOK - West Coast Mainline South & Class 390 Pendolino!.



    I asked BritishAce for assistance due to the problem I am facing with the Class 377/2 Southern EMU on my PS4 on TSW 5.

    And he said, and I quote “Restrictions on the PS4 due to how old the system is. You should be able to spawn in a 377 in within Free Roam - click left pad on the Dpad”.

    Is this true?. Will I not get any Class 337/2 Southern EMU timetable services at all just because I'm on the PS4?... I purchased the Deluxe Version of TSW 5 on my PS4. As you said in previous forums Chris, that the Class 377/2 is in fact part of the West Coast Mainline South across all platforms on timetable mode... On Deluxe / Special Version. Right ?.

    I can't help you. You'll need to wait for someone from Dovetail to look into it.

    Don't worry, you didn't wake me up. I asked for you on the live stream and was told that it should work. You already opened a ticket, which is great!

    You can also share that photo with an explanation of your issue in here -> https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/west-coast-main-line-london-euston-milton-keynes-feedback.84525/

    They will be going over that feedback topic tomorrow and look into any issues.

    Good morning Miss Luna, how are you?.

    Thank you so much miss I genuinely appreciate it, that's really kind of you miss. Also miss whilst I was playing the West Coast Mainline South on my PS4. As I was coming out of London Euston driving the Class 350 EMU I noticed that my game immediately crashed and I sent a “forDTGreview” report on my PS4.

    I then fired it up again and as I was playing the games lags a lot and it gets really laggy too.

    Thank you miss I am really grateful for everything your doing for me miss

    And yes miss I'll definitely share that photo in the link you've provided me with miss.

    Downloaded deluxe on steam for PC and downloaded and installed at start up loading bar gets to 30% then crashes Get steam error message for which I submit log something to do with Unreal login.
    Tried to start TSW4 and that crashes saying it cannot find .exe in 'C' drive attempted file verification and got 0 errors
    I have uninstalled TSW5 and will try again.

    I was hoping,as a bit of a " wish list" thing in game that the electrical arching / sparking effect could be made for this game ) from the pickups on the third rails or pantograph gantries). I've played a previous train simulator and it had this effect. If modelled correctly, it was such a " Nice to have" in game. Looking forwards to playing 5 tomorrow. Good job if indeed the older DLC from 4 does work.

    Is compatible content transferred between versions after the game releases?
    Because TSW4 and TSW5 versions of same DLCs are treated as separate games by steam, for example, currently some of dlcs are on sale, but only their TSW4 version.
    So my question is: if I buy a TSW4 version of a dlc now, will I get a compatible version of this same dlc for TSW5?

    Yes, you will. Any previous TSW content (except the original NEC route + switcher loco) will have a compatible version for TSW5.

    Guess there's no preload. I'll have to leave my Xbox on and remote start the download tomorrow morning.

    Surely there has to be an easier way to download over 100 DLC every year a new game comes out? This never goes smoothly.

    Chris, why is all of my purchased DLC from the back catalog of previous versions of TSW not available for free download for TSW5? The Microsoft store is trying to make me pay full price for all of my previously owned DLC???

    Platform: Xbox Series S

    Please try again.

    Please use the instructions provided in the opening post. Unfortunately, the PlayStation store is not set up to let you upgrade all your add-ons at once. You must claim the TSW 5 version one by one.

    A large amount of Xbox compatible content will not be available today add-ons. For more information, please see: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsw5-xbox-compatible-content-update-17th-september.84884/

    Please restart your console and try again. It's going to live all over the world now. It may take some time to reach all supported regions.

    Sorry, just states about:blank#blocked.

    Under the original instructions I went to the Game Library where TSW4 is shown with a padlock, i.e. unpurchased. But when I click on that it just goes into the blurb for TSW4, no option to choose and download the free starter pack.

    I’m not sure what instructions you are referring to. To my knowledge, we have never directed players to TSW 4, to claim the TSW 5 free starter Pack.

    Please follow the link to claim this from the PlayStation Store website, or search for "Train Sim World 5 Free Starter Pack" from the PlayStation Store on your console.

    Free Starter Pack:

    I'm downloading tsw5 addons some come up as tsw5 but most are registering as tsw4. Is this a fault? They all say tsw5 compatible on the store and register as free from my earlier purchases but once downloaded show up as tsw4 content in the manage content folder.

    Wow, how long winded is downloading the add ons on the PS5?
    2 hours of my life I'll never get back!
    I installed the core game, then clicked down on the game til to add ons. Selected all add ons tiles to the right. Then selected all showing as free to me. I have now have TSW5, TSW4, PS5 and PS4 versions all downloading at once. Not funny when you own a lot of content. This going to take some sorting out, not to mention cross checking to make sure I have everything thing.
    I appreciate it's not DTG's fault with the multiple downloads but they need to come up with a better way, all I want to do is play the game!

    I click purchase DLC on the playstation store on PS5, but so far every DLC is only having a TSW4 icon and not a TSW5 icon. Awaiting this fix since I don't know if I'm downloading TSW5 version or not.

    The Acela dlc, the Boston-providence dlc, and the LIRR dlc didn’t carry over to TSW 5 on the Xbox series X and says I have to rebuy them to play it. What do I need to do

    I see some, not all, of my DLC’s aren’t able to migrate across just yet. I know this is being investigated so that’s all good.

    My question is; can I uninstall TSW4 plus all my DLC’s and be able to install the missing ones to 5 later on?

    Downloaded all DLC including the ones with the TSW4 icon however installed into TSW5. However when loading into TSW5 its missing most, for example installed TSW5 version of West Somerset although it has the TSW4 icon yet does not show up in the game.
