Needlessly Locking Threads And Censorship Of Criticism.

in my opinion this has been completely exaggerated to make it seem like aabs are intentionally lying to us. it was likely an accident and lessons will be learned

The thread with all mention of it removed, that thread would still be "around the bad info"?

The bad info is removed, Candace has mentioned it was "incorrect" information, so no need to lock the thread.

Hence why I said the conversation, which can still be ongoing regardless of which posts have been deleted or not.

Besides this, the post with the patch notes is still there (https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...pdate-notes-may-28th-2026.98127/#post-1121134). All Aboard has said in the Facebook post that they has provided incorrect information to DTG, so why are the patch notes not corrected or removed for the time being?

Great question. Guessing again, simple oversight? I can certainly see myself doing that. Or, since all this is by the studio's request, maybe the studio said to just leave the notes up for the good info while they rewrite and resubmit?

Feels indeed like doing some damage control after the backlash. They're mentioning in the Fb post: lower-memory Xbox Series X configurations. What on earth are they talking about, there is only 1 memory configuration for Series X...

Also they're not making any statement regarding the fact, console players now have to deal with a reduced timetable to "fix" blurry textures, while the cause of the issue still not has been fixed.

Yeah the Series X comment was really strange imo

The thread in question has been temporarily locked for review tomorrow (when DTG staff are in to provide correct information) because misleading information was posted by the third party dev. Everybody’s reacting like it’s been locked to restrict criticism. It hasn’t. The thread is going to reopen tomorrow with the correct information as to why timetables were cut down and everyone can continue to criticise then.

If threads were locked for criticism there would be no threads open.

They said that about the feedback thread for the class 90 on discord and it ended up taking multiple weeks to reopen and even then most of the criticism was deleted

I really do feel bad for All Aboard Studios. The Birmingham-Crewe route looks like a solid route in terms of scenery. The addition of the 350/2 and 350/3 is a nice touch as well. For a third party's first route, this should have been an easy win.

Instead the route is plagued with issues that are not their fault. Texture issues on Xbox, dispatcher issues and other core issues that have just brought the quality of the route down. Removing services that people paid for as well must not be ideal for them either

I was surprised that the thread was locked. Surely a simple message saying that there was incorrect information stated and a clarification would be sufficient instead of locking a thread. Mistakes happen.

This seems fishy to me

And in this update they did fix a bunch of issues.
