Heya I've been in (a very enjoyable) exile for the last 6 months and didn't have my PS5 with me. Consequently, I haven't kept up as much with the TSW news. That's about to change tomorrow. My question is essentially what it says in the title. What's the latest on the add-on manager? From what I gather, it's been released for TSW2 but not TSW3. Is that correct? And if so, is the TSW3 add-on manager coming soon™ or do we have more concrete information? Thanks for your help! Cheers
Apparently its either going / or gone out to the Xbox Beta Testers (because Sony dont allow beta testing for the PS.... "For the players") to have a play. Hopefully we will get it Soon (tm) It was mentioned about it in the January Roadmap Stream by Matt. Hentis PS Welcome back from exile
Much appreciated, antony.henley! Let's stay optimistic then. Thanks, it's just a bit tongue-in-cheek. I'll report back on that soon in my thread for suggestions on southern UK rail sights
Latest build is looking reasonably good, still some issues to resolve but definitely close to where we want it now. We've done two or three builds for the xbox players and learned a lot from their feedback each time which the engineer has been working hard on. I don't think it's too far off now. Matt.
Thanks for the update, Matt. Just started playing TSW 3 yesterday and I already dread micro-managing my collection as I start porting it over from TSW 2.
Latest from Matt, “latest build looks reasonably good” what does that actually mean. We’re close and not far off now is meaningless given this has been said for months. Well after today that’s another month gone. This is well over a year now and nothing more than a disgrace.
Or maybe it'll be true. We've been hearing about this update for over a year now. When it comes to updates what DTG say and what they do are very different things. After all the DSD on the 313 was an "easy fix", still waiting.
I really hope this isn’t an issue when TSW4 does come along. It’s because of Sony… don’t know why they even have a limit on DLC anyway ??. Xbox doesn’t have this issue…. Makes me want to switch over but I’ve nearly bought every DLC so far. A total waste of money in the end so nah….. better not lol.
Never understood that either. I'd have said it's an arbitrary limit required by the software it's running on (and pretty much any number would do). But then it would have had to have been active when the console was released and not some months later. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Given there is precisely one available product from one relatively small publisher affected by this, the chances of this happening are slim to none
But they've also imposed a Limit to the total amount of DLC one title can have to 50 for the PS4 so what gives Sony? Is it the platform becomes unstable the more DLC that's added or what? Hentis
It’s not just TSW facing inane limits either. Off topic, but I also play Snowrunner which has mod support on console. How many mods you can have installed is limited by storage (how many you can have downloaded) and memory (how many you can have active at once. On Series X, the console allows a whopping 20gb of mods to be in storage. Then (depending on size of mod) I can activate about 12-20 before hitting the memory limit. PS5? Well it allows you to have a minuscule 1gb of mods to be in storage. It seems to have just as big a memory limit as XSX but it’s all irrelevant because of the storage limit. So unlike XSX where I can have hundreds of mods downloaded and 12-20 installed, on PS5 I can only manage to download 2-4 depending on size. Less than what I could have installed on PS4 even. Why does that limit exist? Nobody knows, the devs just say it’s imposed by Sony and probably will never be changed. Sound familiar?
I´ve tried to figure out if replacing my PS4 is really necessary, only to get TSWX running better. After all, it still runs quite sophisticated games with superb graphics and features without any flaws. I´ve ran into a dead end in that quest. PS5 has that dreadful DLC limit, XBoxX has audio and asset popup issues and the prices for a decent game PC are eyewatering. Besides, I like the console for this games for chilling out and relaxing when driving some TSW routes. There was this thread with a technical explanation on why Sony imposed this DLC limit. Thanks to richtayls. Quite interesting read: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/addons-manager.60822/#post-556047 It seems that TSW is pretty much a standalone with that problem. And that´s why I think Sony won´t do anything about it. And finally I pretty much doubt that DTG is capable of delivering such a complex piece of software like a flawlessly working addons manager. But that´s the first bet in my life I´d luuuuve to loose.
STAY ON THE PS4. Seriously, the upgrade to PS5 and TSW3 isn't worth the difference. Can't run half my DLC due to the restriction in DLC allocation, hate the new layout of TSW3, DLC prices increased by £5 a go, nowhere near as many sales on DLC as there was for TSW2 on PS4, new DLC still seems to have almost no testing for PS5 it appears, almost 50 known issues on the latest Glasgow to Edinburgh route, DTG management need to take a long hard look at themselves, this simply isn't good enough. Oh plus you lose all your experience and have to redo absolutely everything.
I´ll buy you a beer ................ if this works as predicted. This bet I´d like to lose. But not yet ...........seeing is believing, for obvious reasons. BTW: In front of that picture wasn´t it an exceptionally dumb move to split the TSW2 Core Game incl. three routes into four parts for TSW3?
Thanks for that honest answer. Indeed, I´m more lost here than the blind chap in the wild west shoot-out. I DO enjoy TSW2 (yeah unf ...believable) despite all its flaws. And that´s why I´m getting p+++ed when they break more things with their "patches" than they cure. On the other hand I have it clear that TSW3 will knock out my old, but loyal PS4 which is already on its knees with heavy traffic and scenery. BML is mostly unplayable around Victoria. *Sigh* What to do ...
