Update - 13:00
Xbox players should be able to see these changes coming there way now, with the aim for PlayStation platforms this evening.

 

Update - 9:45am 18/10/23
We're investigating reports of patch contents not appearing for some players, which includes

• The DB BR 101 and DB BR 204 being installed but not visible in-game.
• Liveries created in previous TSW iterations not rendering correctly (Currently reported as outstanding for PS5 users)
• Controller rumble not activating when the loco collides with a buffer.
  • We believe this may be loco dependant, for example, the Class 66 experiences rumble, but not the Class 323.

Update - 14:00pm 18/10/23
Regarding the Driver Assist notification patch:

• (UI) Added a new option to toggle off Driver Assist notifications in Player Assist settings

We have now updated and re-included this patch for Steam and Epic players.
For PlayStation, Xbox, and Xbox for PC players, this will come in a future, larger patch.
