    Happened on PS4, and still happened at the same frequency on PS5 when I first downloaded the game. Since then, don't use CC liveries bar 1 so don't know how it performs. Haven't noticed the SR subbing on on E2G for the HST either.

    I don't use CC liveries at all now.

    I'm hoping we'll go an estimated date for Manchester commuter this evening, perhaps the class 86 might have an approximate date also.
    & Hopefully we'll see more info on the Cardiff Network Route too, with the Mildmay line I only expect to see screenshots something on this must be incredibly challenging for this developer. Hopefully we'll hear more about a release date in the spring, I don't see this route releasing until May/June tbh I could be totally wrong also.

    You can forget about that. It is going to be the regular price for a route, and I'm going to pay it because it will be really good.

    It's tomorrow the roadmap. So the estimation about a release date in roadmap would be tomorrow.

    However we can see them doing an article about it earlier

    They have announced release dates before on the Monday before the roadmap. So it could be.

    And 80% is considered an "amazing" sale on older content.
    A 92% reduction for no reason on RELEASE?
    Right..... that's some serious pipe weed.

    Given the ongoing state of the game (I just read the WCMLS PS5 crashing thread), the only thing they should be focused on in the roadmap is where we are with patches or even rolling back to a more stable version.

    It's true, I was honestly excited for the Oakville Division (Still a NA route), but for the length of the route not reaching Toronto it really put me off purchasing this as there's quite a bit of passenger and freight traffic on this route. The route is very empty and no passenger services.
    If they had the Brightline or an MTA line even if it was Staten island I'd probably would purchase those routes

    This should really be the main focus of the road map. Solving the core issues and the TSW5 DLC, plus putting some serious effort into solving older bugs.

    Rolling back to a stable version is of course somewhat tricky. I mean, which version would that be? (seriously, somewhere on TSW 4, about a year ago?)

    So if you are wondering if there will be new content announced in todays Roadmap, then read below and stow your expectations.

    "You can expect this roadmap edition to be a fairly lighter update than we typically have, but it will contain more information on some key dates for our next release, and upcoming TSW patches, as well as a few new screenshots/details for some of our recent new announcements."

    Sounds like the roadmap might be a spot the difference game with 2 or 3 changes vs the November one!

    I mean... you could play that if you want. Most people still have it installed.
    It won't work with TSW 5 content is all.

    Wasn't this on 6 different threads already?
    We get it.
    You want more US content.
    Everyone has their "thing."
    Could you comment on the thread topic, or be more specific?
    For example... "I am looking forward to the F59"
    That's US content and it's on the roadmap to discuss.

    No, you're right. I was just wondering what the 'last stable version' would be.... without wanting to be too cynical of course :)

    I really couldn't say because everyone's experiences seem to be so different.
    There are people right now running fine, and others calling it "unplayable"... but that's been the same situation as it was a year ago and a year before that. Often it's not the game itself, but specific systems the game is running on, programs (mods) installed, etc. It's the interaction between game and tens of thousands of individual systems.
    Who would decide which one to use as "best"?
    It's the most stable now that it's ever been since I started playing, but I can't selfishly assume that mine is the only experience that matters or that no one else is having issues.

    I play on PS5, without any custom liveries or other CC content (luckily I don't care about that stuff). Performance is adequate, and I have had no outright crashes on WCML South since the previous update. Also no map freezes anymore. Only some serious lag at a few points along the route, hope that will be at least partially fixed.

    So I personally am quite satisfied. At the same time it would be nice if it was optimized further and it some older bugs were finally adresses.

    I believe TSW4 was the peak for performance, at least for 9th gen consoles. It's downhill from now until gen 10 comes out.

    I’m shocked hardly anyone is talking about the 104. Thought we’d get something of an update with the season of reveals but guess not. Hopefully it won’t be another “DB 420”.

    Im praying for a Mittenwaldbahn release date. I hope it comes before Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn, as this sadly is a pass for me.
    Major update for the 104 and DE Loco from Simtrack and the 420 back on the Roadmap would be a dream. Maybe this one will show Halycon Media's DE Route too.

    I'd agree on wanting the above, however I am expecting fireside chat 2 date announcement and a deep dive into TrainsimTV production techniques and a 8 month gap till the next roadmap for fixes (TSW6) to be the agenda. More than likely to be a quiet one. Remember 'if it's not on the roadmap'.....

    The only thing I'm waiting for is an announcement about the return of the team for fixing the old routes. Because my wish to return to old addons is dashed by the number of bugs in them (which still manages to increase with each new version of the game).

    They really could have skipped the re-hash roadmap and just done a release date article for the new german route imo.

    Hopefully February brings something more interesting.

    It's sad that the GWE remaster isn't in the 0-3 months. Will be worth it when it comes I'm sure, just got to be patient.

    DTG are you still normal or what ?

    You sell the new line Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn for 39,99Euro, without even a new train, locomotive or freight wagon ?

    We already know your reused rolling stock too well, it won't change much for this new line.

    You don't believe that you can sell a 2-track line without new trains for that price.......

    35,99€ actually, (the normal route price) but it's still upsetting that the content is ALL reused, even if it's had some updates in the BR 425 and ICE 3M's case

    Beginning to look like most of the content beyond the 0-3 months range will end up being for TSW6.

    Still no news from Rivet; starting to think they won’t make anything else?
    This has been discussed a lot in other threads but Rivet should really concentrate on RhB content- it’s way better than their British content and something very different.

    Is it possible to get some news on Rivet?

    I think they announced the GWE remaster way too early if it's not releasing until Q2. I was quite hyped at first but to wait several months for it while only being drip fed screenshots isn't a fun way to build excitement, especially considering it's only an update to a very old route.

    I was hoping to see some more new screenshots for Cardiff City but apparently not. I stopped caring about Manchester Airport the moment they revealed it wasn't going to Crewe.

    I'm excited for the Mildmay Line at least, although I'll be the first to admit it's nothing new or innovative.

    Like others have already said, I don't really get why the next German route is at the full price. We are getting nothing new, and I doubt the ICE 3M has been modified into an ICE 3MF (as services to France run along this route). Why was no new Doppelstock cab car included? There seems to be a lot of shrinkflation going on. I usually avoid the word "lazy", but that word keeps coming to mind.

    Well, this roadmap went basically just as I expected. Was hoping for more focus on some long overdue bugfixes, but that was a longshot at best. Let's see what this ominous update later this month will bring.

    Releasing Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn on my birthday is quite nice and all, but... I think I'll hold off on it for a while regardless. At this point, it just doesn't offer that much new for me, especially not at this steep price. Basically it's the usual, generic double-track, electrified main route all over again :|

    Way more hyped for Mittenwaldbahn being released in February already! Very much looking forward to this one, from what we've seen so far of the rolling stock and scenery :love:

    Would be nice if they were 'being made' to go back and fix bugs/bits of bad content/scenery etc. in their previous content.

    They need to get their stuff together. I mean, they can surely improve. Some stuff has actually been decent by them
