When will the floating forest on the West Coast Main Line be fixed? When will we get information on the implementation of the suspension feature?
Wcml seems to run smoother I'm half way down the route without any stuttering just pulled into Euston smoothest ride ever
I hoped to read this sentence related to Frankfurt Fulda. Where are these minor improvements for this route as promised in the last roadmap? Again just updates for WCML. Is there coming another update for Frankfurt Fulda in january? DTG-Chris Minor memory improvements to improve stability across the route.
It seems to me, that for quite a few of the recent batches of patches, that several DLC get missed from the patch notes, which is quite annoying. At least three of my DLCs got updated today without a mention in the patch notes of what to expect from them.
How on Earth is it even possible that DTG make an update aimed at FTF and the BR101 Expert selection screen and the BR101 Wirtheim red light issue are still not remedied? It is not like this has not been discussed at length in the forums.
WillStanier could you share the DLC and your platform please? Maybe DTG Harry or DTG Alex could then speak with the devs please to find out the changes?
Not happy at all with this latest update as l am now having to reinstall everything from scratch to play Train Sim World 5 again. I went to play it and every addon and the game has disappeared. What is going on at DTG? It’s going to take me days to reinstall everything.
I would be curious to know which add-ons have received updates that weren't listed, but it is always worth noting not every single change in an update is publicly listed, simply because many patches are underlying changes and tweaks to core systems. In this case, I believe we may have had a single East Coast Mainline change that was a minor back-end update with no context, so that route might have gotten an update for this reason.
DTG Alex I have on PS5: 390 1.009.000 ECML as you mentioned 1.002.000 380 1.002.000 In addition to the listed ones in the thread for relevant DLC I own (https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/train-sim-world-5-game-update-january-21st.88640/). WillStanier any others showing at your end?
There is mentioned the decal update for the "roos t" wagon from maintalbahn. Why on earth was there used a complete outdated version of this wagon in the first place? 5 steps back for using a wagon with no selectable brake mode, while this feature is standard since rushhour 3 years ago. Another 5 steps back to use this type of wagon, while there is actually the new type available with selectable brakemode. (Roos t from "dresden - chemnitz"). I really have no words for that..
On PS5, I was using both ICE 1 and the ICE T and I crashed every time I was entering Frankfurt, this is just another route that I have to avoid for now because they don’t bother to fix it once and for all. Never ever I’ve encountered that much crash in a game.
xbox/x Br411 hanau-frankfurt. Not even once FTF passed this short hop without ctd since december... I think . The worst route currently, a small bridge before Frankfurt is choking this game to death (10-20fps - small bridge!). It is a shame how bad this route is on xbox, real shame.
With the crashing reports, are these happening post patch or have they been happening prior to the patch?
Do you use creator club liveries or other stuff? I have never had a crash on FTF (also on PS5) and I don't use CC content.
Nope no personal no downloaded liveries, I always avoid using them as I know it affects heavily performance.
You know the music hehe, it’s a tradition to broke stuff on each updates. Hope it’ll be alright for you though.
Oyvey, a wall of updates. Happy that stuff gets fixed but at the same time after reading which DLC are affected by this update I won't be playing the game tonight. I'll have to stop steam from updating, uninstalling half my collection (have to stay updated by this thread to know which ones not mentioned need to go), then reinstall by updating which will take the whole night. Since I don't have 200 GB of free space on my system partition for steam to update what are actually just a few MB.
No improvement for me on PS5 with Frankfurt-Fulda either. Blurred textures shortly after Offenbach heading for Fulda in the ICE-T. Quit the run, and putting the route back on the shelf till he next patch.
I have done a few runs. It is better than it was, BUT still get really bad lag passing Wembley sidings, and also texture glitches at watford high street on the 710, and some times when trains are passing while drive a 390. Better but still room for improvement
Anyone else having problems with Blackpool branches was running smoothly till the update now it’s seriously laggy and everything blurry
Good to see some work being done but... 66Gb download for a patch! I just bought WRC10 on sale and that's only 32Gb total d/l. And by the look of some of the comments above, looks like all that data and things are still broken or new things are broken! Where's the testing???
Testing for consoles seems non existant. Probably because they dont have a way to test it on a regular console until the game/fixes are actually published and live. So its all dev consoles with higher specs than the normal consoles. I wonder if we reverted back to the old map on consoles if it would solve the blurry texture issue as the map seems to use up alot of memory since it was changed. And honestly I wouldn't mind that feature leaving. But seriously the game is 4 months old and we are no closer to a solution 1/3 through it's expected shelf life. This is the worst I have seen the game in the 5 years I've been playing. Every version takes longer and longer to make stable it seems.
So, I drove a few services on both FTF and WCML South. I play on PS5, 4k graphics setting and all layers enabled. Frankfurt still gives lots of frame drops. Especially on busy sections. Haven't measured it exactly, but feels the same as before. WCML yet again improved somewhat. Only a bit of blur during the first few seconds (710 departing from London Euston in morning rush hour). Framerates are a lot better, even around Euston. Also did a service on the 1972 stock, performance is acceptable. And, passengers actually get on the 72 now . The headlight cones are still not visible though. No outright crashes, but haven't had those since the previous update. So WCML South seems to improve bit by bit (to an acceptable level IMO). FTF, not so much. Edit: I now see that performance improvements for FTF were not in the release notes (yet).
Cajon Pass Fixed an issue where safety systems prevented Platinum Medals being given. and I thought well, maybe it is just cos it is older route that I didnt get platinum... weird tho... I turned on Alerter, which is basically the only working safety system on SD40-2, and I still got old style points
I could be wrong but I thought a read somewhere that you have to use a keyboard to switch on all the safety systems on us freight trains
So everyone complaining about FTF not getting any better. Thats what I mentioned earlier. FTF did not get Minor memory improvements to improve stability across the route. Again just WCML. So no wonder its not improved. As its mentioned in the last roadmap I thought FTF will get this too but sadly again no update this month to improve this route.
Since the update passengers no longer spawn in the concourse at Euston on WCMLS , when spawning on foot. So Euston seems deserted. On PC /Steam.
Conductor mode doesn’t work properly on the NJT stock. The train just doesn’t move after you close the doors. Same thing happened on two different services. Ps5
Just a slight correction to what I posted earlier. Looked liked the patch was around 1.6Gb but on my install has around 66Gb of files to update. So it was still churning away when I came off the PC at 10pm last night (us old farts need our beauty sleep) so hopefully finish today then time for paid beta testing!
