Is it just me or do others feel like they have jumped into the Tardis and gone back to launch days over the last few years? What do I mean? The compatibility issue being available to add into the game from launch…or rather not! This I’m sure happened before. So if you bought dlc previously you are going to have to wait to play it potentially a week or longer depending on if Microsoft and DTG get their skates on. I find it incredible that DTG haven’t made sure all is ready to port compatible content across with the relevant green light from Microsoft on day 1.
yeah always annoying yet somehow steam has had their compatible dlc from launch of early access while us poor gits have to wait on xbox how is that logic
Yeah I was so excited to get all my compatible content today and then I read the article telling me not everything is working! So now we will get the suprise what is working and what isn't at 16 BST.
They’ve never had a smooth launch, even back when they weren’t doing a new title once a year. I’d say they need to work on a new title over 2 years, but even then they’d just not do anything for a year & try to cram it all into a years dev time anyway. I’m not saying they’re the only studio that are like this, but DTG likes to pick & choose when they act like a AAA studio. Need dev power for a feature that matches other industry standards? No sorry we aren’t Microsoft. Yearly release with all the terrible AAA marketing? Yes please.
and to think they had time to iron out the issues its not like they had a short period of time but that's dovetail for you not to mention the bugs in the game that they didn't fix before launch just like tsw 4 same issues and same game
Hello folks, I just wanted to add that the frustration around Xbox-compatible content not being set up correctly in time for launch is very understandable, especially when we've been talking about this during our announcement build-up and we had planned for this to be the case. Our teams are working to get this resolved as soon as possible for all of the content to work, and we apologise that this has happened. We'd have loved to communicate this issue much sooner, however, this was an unexpected impact that our teams weren't anticipating, and we shared the news with this community the moment we knew. Thanks for staying patient while you wait for any missing content.
At the end of the they are just like our present government here in the UK say one thing then at the 12 hour change the goal posts
It’s a shame but sure I can live with it for a few days, still got TSW4 installed if I need to prise myself away from WCMLS for an hour or two.
Oh, c'mon... Didn't I read just a few days ago people complaining that there's too much to download on Day 1? We just received a staggered delivery: download some content today, and then they will likely drip-feed the rest over the next few days. It will not take weeks, right? Right, Alex?!
They know the problem when prelaunch 12th. 5 days later for fix this and now say not unexpected. Jail for Microsoft !
Fantastic. Been dealing with the buggy WCML for the last 5 days and now can’t even download my other content. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you again DTG for another absolutely flawless release. I really don’t know what we as a community would do without your continued display of ineptitude and incapability to do your jobs correctly. A round of applause from everyone is in order, I think.
You really can't defend this. Players rightly expect that their content to available when TSW 5 released. That fact that it is not is unacceptable
Nothing works at all. No DLC is displayed and you can't simply download your old DLC via the game management in the store.
It the 17th and yet we can’t download our compatible Gz way to go. 1600 is the time to download your compatible. Way to go
Lol if you look at the list of addons that won't be available on release I think it would've been easier for them to write the ones that would work it would save them time. But maybe by the sounds of it they wouldn't have had anything to write whatsoever as nothing works it seems. Congratulations dtg. This is also a lot easier to watch as a fly on the wall now since I won't buy into the hype anymore.
So where is the compatible content? I don't see anything of it and its already half an hour over release.
and that mate is the million pound question where is the DLC it looks like nothing works typical microsoft/DTG
Some of the stuff that was said to b available to download from the post that was posted isnt even available like edinburgh to glasgow sayin i have to pay even tho dovetail said it would b available to download on the post this always happens each time
It's so frustrating when we keep getting new games every year and having to re download stuff can we stick with TSW5 for a few years
None of the content was showing up in manage games and apps, so I went to the store page of TSW5. Various items now say that I own them. Had to pick on over 40 items and click install but I'm downloading now. Series X. Restarted it too don't know if that helped
I doubt that will happen. They will introduce features that add little or nothing to the game to justify TSW 6 in 2025
Hey there, we just shared an update on this here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsw5-console-launch-update-on-platform-issues.84909/ All the best, Jan
Dear Alex Thankyou for donning the DTG tin hat and sticking your head above the parapet. Honestly I and I’m sure others appreciate you having the balls to face this. May I though ask you a simple question, it’s a bit of once bitten twice shy, you said the the teams weren’t anticipating the issues that have cropped up. Yet this is a regular occurrence so the question is WHY did they not anticipate the problems. If I got bit by a spider I would learn pretty darn fast not to go near again yet hypothetically this is occurring neigh on every release. We know that EVENTUALLY everything will be put right but why must we go through this drama every time? Perhaps you could put in to the 2025 diary around August for the teams to check everything is ready to roll so we don’t get this recurring issue again. Once again thanks for responding.

I'm being told that ive got to pay again for routes and train addons that I already own im on Xbox Series S
You won’t need to pay again just have to wait until the compatibility issue with Microsoft is resolved.
This is not DTG fault, it's how Microsoft Store works. OK, it is DTG's fault for pretending TSW5 is a new game, but that's a different discussion. The TSW5 add-ons have distinct product identifiers in the store, as you can see in the links posted by zaab#5063 above. In the store, Microsoft must link the TSW4 version to the TSW5 version, so, if someone owns the TSW4 DLC, then they automatically own the TSW5 DLC, and vice versa. More than this: if you purchased a game with multiple routes, like the TSW2 game (BKL + SPG + SKA), then you should also own each of them under TSW3 , TSW4 and now TSW5. I assume that these things cannot be tested in advance, because of the way the TSW5 content is not visible in the store until launch. We just need a bit of patience, it's not the end of the world. BTW, I just got Cajon Pass installed. I think we will be seeing DLC appearing as owned and installable over the next day or so. To be fair, I don't look forward to when I have all the content installed and the game takes 2 minutes to start.
For all those having issues with compatible content, we will be updating this thread, which details all the content which should be available for players, when we know more about what is available. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/th...mpatible-content-update-17th-september.84884/ We're hoping this won't take longer than a week, but we're unfortunately beholden to Microsoft setting up the entitlements for the content before we can 'publish' it, and get it live.
Can I ask then if don't mind to publish the routes that are no available the now till their start getting done I know since I manually downloaded the games tonight but to stop people from re buying stuff their already own because in your thread you've only put what's availabe,ps for dlcs find another way of doing this every year it's getting old now
I tried to download my list of compatible routes for the game sadly some of them require repurchase even though I've owned them
