    I've tried a number of times in TSW2, and a number of times in TSW3 but once I uncouple the coaches, I can never get the signal in front of me to go green. I know this has been reported before because I remember seeing it but I can't find it any more.

    Can someone please help me? I know many people have managed to get this one working, so it has to be me. I follow the scenario's instructions, and it never seems to work. Was there a workaround that someone who did do the scenario employ?

    Basically I'm stuck on this. It's not the end of the world if I can't finish it, but it would be nice to.

    You have asked for the signalman's permission haven't you?

    Every time, after waiting a bit of course. It always returns "denied, wait for signal to change" which normally means the signal should clear soon and it's not a red signal bug, but I haven't seen it change, and the path isn't set for me

    Have you ever got the chance to fix the problem? I am having the same problem and it’s so frustrating like I paid extra money for the extension pack and the Liverpool level has a bag with the traffic lights and the track changing

    Please tell me how to fix the problem or you figure out how you fix the problem because I even contact the traffic light signal guy and he tells me to wait until the light change but the AI is stock just don’t know what to do anymore Is it really a bug?

    If you play on steam, may be caused by -DX12.

    I've never been able to complete this scenario for the same reason (on XBox) - haven't tried it for a while.

    I have not been able to fix the issue unfortunately. None of the other solutions ever worked for me, hence my OP. I'm not too disheartened by it, although I can understand why others are.

    Not upset about it either. I just hate that. I paid extra money for it and it’s broken it’s like come on. How do you not know that that level is broken do you know what I mean? But thank you for everyone’s help. I really appreciate it. I will try to fix it somehow if not, then it is what it is I just hope one day they fix it I really do

    If I somehow fix it, I will try to let you know guys if I remember, and I will try to explain it to you as the best of my abilities

    And what do you mean by “be caused by - DX12”

    The fact that you don't know means it isn't that. On steam you can force games to use DirectX12 if you want by typing that in a box somewhere. By default TSW uses DirectX 11. Some people find DX12 to be better, others don't. I tried DX12 once or twice and saw no improvement, so I switched back to DX11 (because it is the officially supported version by DTG).

    And I have a one more question is the steam trains the only one that’s really broken is the rest of the DLC’s playable?

    I am sure there will be people that will disagree with me but I think every dlc, even SoS is playable. I would highly recommend Northern Trans-Pennine, Tees Valley Line and Birmingham Cross City Line as the locos/units in these routes stand out as the best in game.

    Further fixes to SoS, including the spurious SPAD's terminating a run, seem to have dropped completely off the radar if not dropped in the dumpster... :(

    Thank you DTG.

    I have tried this scenario periodically after what I assume is a patch that happened a while ago, but kept getting service failure.

    Yesterday, after reading the forums, I tried it with the automatic fireman instead of the manual one...

    AND IT WORKS!!!

    The issue is now fixed for me, and thank you once again!
