Where is NYT update? Where is Xbox crash update? - fixed (edit) Whee is CC freight cars livery update? Where is MML update? Where is TSW3 update? Where is xbox addon manager update? And so on... Free roam is boring in its current form and limitations, I will leave photoshooting without comments... Where are essentialy real updates?
You’re missing the real question: where’s the test team ? Almost all these issues would’ve been avoided if the game was properly tested, before approval.
Where is DTG? In a cave ? Damn, today's update made me laugh.... Seriously, it's getting worse and worse, are they interns working there or what? But where is the shift I promise?
In fairness to the beta team, it was mentioned by LondonMidland quite a while ago that many issues are found with TSW content during the testing process and it's entirely the choice of Dovetail Games as to what needs addressing prior to launch and what goes out as a 'fix it later' known issue. Hardly the fault of the beta testers that the reporting/fixing process is fundamentally flawed, is it?
If this is true then it is quite a “serious” decision. I think that 1 more week to resolve the most urgent problems would be a wiser choice rather than releasing something completely screwed up!! There's more to life than just money, and 1 week isn't going to ruin them....
This isn't exclusive to DTG, it's quite literally system wide across the games industry, beta testers will report a litany of bugs, and because the decision makers at the top are only interested in the money signs in their eyes of getting a product to market ASAP regardless of quality, that's what happens, to hit their financial and fiscal quarters.
Like the name is already saying, Freeroam is getting as good as the players creativity. For both sandbox gameplay and quick drive / service creation inside a timetable its the best feature in tsw4 got introduced for me. Creativity isnt everybodys thing, many players just prefere to follow a prefabricated service / timetable / task. This is not anything different than in real life.
They are literally fixing what should works from the beginning... There is no time or window or manpower to patch a gameplay because they struggle to make game work at all....
Added a new option to toggle off Driver Assist notifications in Player Assist settings. Where can I find this? There is no such setting on Xbox after the update. Or am I blind?
More things to add - Where is the sound update for the class 385 or updates from the rivet team or the DTG one. Plus when are the cable connectors and the gangways on the class 801 gonna get animated.
its been stated multiple times the aim is for smaller patches more frequentlty rather than one large patch and then wait an age for another one
Free roam is gonna be boring if YOU can’t find anything to do. There’s an entire discussion dedicated to what people wanna do in free roam. Besides that. They’ve already said this is another update in the line of more. I’d rather have small frequent updates than big ones with large gaps
Rivet to a road soon perhaps they will do the patch at the same time as the exit of the new Swiss road ?
Personally I think they overhyped the Free Roam addition for TSW4. I used the feature about 3 times and it got super boring.
But didn't they say on the roadmap that they are recording the sounds, but still no update from DTG or Rivet yet.
DTG still have the final say on whether Rivet content (or any other associate) is of a sufficient quality to sell through their exclusive store. It’s not like TSC where payware comes from independent sources as well as the official outlet.
You're not blind, it's just not there. The content of the patch was already laughable, only trivial stuff. But when half of the listed points that were supposedly fixed or added are missing, you lose all your remaining faith.
And the fix for broken liveries imported from previous iterations was missed. That patched was a good laugh.
I’m sure it wasn’t, it was one of the things what kind of annoyed me about the abandonment of TSW3 quite a bit, in that it won’t receive 1 single update to it. luckily at least on series x it’s in a near perfect state tbh in my view, though I have since moved to TSW4 regardless still bad for TSW3 players, no doubt about that.
Ah lucky you, if only it was like that on PS5. Just some working lights on AI trains is all I want on the 700.
Not a lot of fixes, on my side I’m waiting for MML which is according to Lucas on DTG hands, and also being finally able to use my liveries done on previous TSWs
The Flying Scotsman finally released after a month... and the AWS is still broken (based on patch notes, don't own it). Shame is the word that comes to mind.
It’s boring I was really excited to go on free roam cause I wanted to make custom freight consists but like half the freight cars are not even there to spawn in and you can’t even use liveries for them too.
I like Free roam as well. Not only for driving but also walking along the route and discovering the created sites which didn't got used either in the scenarios nor timetables. However, I like to add, Free Roam (on its very basic) is not a feature which came with TSW4. It already was there in TSW3 to go a ride as passenger or take a timetable service after a big walk, however we couldn't spawn any train to a specific location and set a path for it thus limited the fun with it. These are the new features to TSW4 in fact, but not the free roam itself.
What I would like to see next in free roam is the ability to take stops and load passengers with a custom passenger train. Scenario editor is nice, but it could be so much easier and faster to set something like this up.
That's a bit of a yes and no. In a sense, free roam was present from TSW2020, only enhanced by the addition of spawning trains amd setting their paths with TSW4. I consider it a new feature, because I don't consider walking around being free roam.
It’s an opinion, and he’s just as entitled to it as you are to yours. ‘Smear others’? Have a word with yourself.
Why would I feel shame? Its my money, and I will spend it how I please. I generally enjoy the game, despite its frustrating flaws.
Hey DTG just check the ranks of people gathering on thread like this one, mostly "high ranks" express their concerns here. Time is come for some reflexions on the current path of developing this game. It is still not too late for refining.
