    Hi all
    I booted my game up today and the screen is all washed out, almost like its through a milky haze.
    This has only happened once before, when I installed the Manchester Airport route.

    I fixed it that time by removing all mods, and using the original Engine ini file. Once the visuals were good again, I then re installed them one by one and it worked again.
    God Mode mod was also updated on that day too, so it put it down to either of those being the solution.

    Yesterday evening I installed Spirit of Steam and its doing the exact same washed out/milky visuals.
    I've removed every mod, and gone back to the original Engine.ini so its pure vanilla, but no joy. I've even removed all the route DLC pak too, leaving me with just the training centre on foot and its washed out too.

    I dont think its a graphics driver thing (NVidia GeForce), as I get a notification if its time to update., and nothing has changed. The driver wasnt the problem when I first fixed it by going back to a vanilla instal.

    This time I'm utterly clueless what to do

    Any help is much appreciated.

    is it washed out on all your routes now?
    1 other thing to try is rename GameUserSettings.ini
    put bak at the end or whatever so it creates a new one
    file can be found at my games\TrainSimWorld5\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

    Remove mods if you have those active. And do a fresh installation of the Godmode. Maybe you have touched some settings there that create this result

    Thanks everyone.

    I did a fresh install, 175GB, ouch.
    it seems to be a matter of the God mod, which goes odd when I install a new route.

    Ive got rid of God Mode now, as it will probably be an in game feature in TSW6.

    Nice to hear that its fixed now but next time a new install of the whole game is not a good idea.... It brings not much. Better is to check your mods that you have active. To be clear you can not actively change the core parts of the game.
