    It's too late now since you've refunded but if you're on steam, did you verify files or remove incompatible mods if you have any or reinstalling it? I have had no issues with this route on steam. Also what was happening before the crash?

    This isn't helpful to anyone, my IoW22 works fine.
    Crash logs? anything to help out.

    Again worked okay here a couple of evenings ago. It must have been something file or possibly mod related, but I can sympathise with refunding as that 2 hour window ticks down quite quickly when you're trying to troubleshoot.

    Yes and yes.

    What happened? Anything. Ordinary operation. Sometimes crashed simply trying to load the route from the menu. Sometimes I made it through setup and getting rolling. Never once got to line speed before it all came apart.

    Removed the one mod (Spratty Heath & Co's enhancement pack). Uninstalled the route and redownloaded. No other mods I have would affect this route or its unique train. Only possibility is that there is some .ini setting the route can't digest, but mine are pretty ordinary.

    Have you tried verifying steam cashe?
    Anytime steam does an update or downloads new content, it has the chance to accidentally corrupt a file.
    I have it on ETS2 alot

    The route was newly purchased and downloaded. And then uninstalled and re-downloaded.

    Not impossible, but DX12 makes such an improvement to all other routes I'm not going to downgrade just for Isle of Wight

    Besides, Arosa (another Rivet product) runs fine under DX12

    And here is the weird thing- although IoW22 has been refunded, and uninstalled as far as Steam is concerned, it's still in my DLC folder, and shows up in the game menus! It even launches, sometimes, and crashes in the same places.

    Yea, the enhancement pack you mentioned and even that tod mod would not be the cause of the crash. I know this cuz I have had the enhancement pack installed and had the tod for a bit which didn't cause crashing in tsw3. Really strange though.

    Yeah that's a Steam error with both TSW and TSC, while you did get it refunded, it doesn't remove the files from the game core. A loophole that DTG should look at fixing if they don't want people to exploit it.

    That doesn't matter, it may not have been a route specific file that corrupted.
    If you don't verify the local files/ cashe, it could simply be a file collision.

    Re downloading the dlc doesn't always fix the issue.

    It isn't an .ini problem either; I've tried it with a vanilla engine.ini file and it still crashes.

    Besides DX12 is not officialy supported and crashes my game as well so you are potenatialy the victim of yourself.

    More strangeness: got Rivet's Luzerne-Sursee to replace IoW- it runs without any problems with my usual .ini file and DX12.

    Again- DX12 makes TSW3 run so very much better that I wouldn't consider running without it, especially for a minor route I only got because it was on sale.

    I understand but literally unplayable is your choice then. For me, DX11, 100% playable.

    IOW 2022 definitely crashing for me on vanilla TSW3 (PC).
    Route loads okay but causes a CTD after a few minutes driving.
    Working fine in TSW2.
    All mods and ini edits removed.

    I will continue testing this route in the next couple of days. Doing parts of services to see what happens. I have completed one service so far with no issues. Will try more later when I got the time. Might be affecting some people on pc but not everyone

    ran a service with no issues, starting to become more convinced its a local issue, rather than a route one.
