Train Sim World 7 - Discussion

Does still run really smooth on Series X though.

 

Yes.

Consoles = now.

Not consoles = 1800 BST.

 

They do not. All vibes in here lol

 

No, and there isn't any factual evidence to disprove it.

“No, but I also can’t prove God doesn’t exist!”

Sorry made me think of this quote and laugh.

 

Brilliant

 

I believe a while back it was mentioned by someone from DTG that the median PC player tends to stay more engaged with the game and buy more DLC on a per capita basis, whereas on consoles, despite having more players of the game overall, the median player is more likely to be a more casual player that doesn’t spend as much on DLC.

 

Jan, with the greatest respect. I would have thought some sort of reply here alleviating or discussing the wide range of concerns being expressed would be better optics wise.

 

Going to be free starter pack for me this time around. I am the most interested in the enhanced lighting and grafik settings. I can test them with the starter pack on my current collection and wait for a big discount on Nürnberg and ICE 4. The UK route looks fine, but the trains are very specific to that route. Nothing that layers on my older add-ons. I´m usually always open to driving the US core route... but they made it a stump without a proper end point, so no thanks.

 

Ok thanks

 

I’m not even getting the free starter pack straight away. I’m sticking with TSW6 until there’s at least some of the initial release bugs fixed in 7. I’m getting some TSW6 stuff in the sale on the PS store instead. Although I do like joining in giving my feedback I’m just not feeling the need for TSW7 right now. For game improvements there’s only really the controller tweaks that interest me, so I’m going to leave it a while and then either get the free starter pack or the Deluxe Edition once there has been time for DTG to get the bigger gremlins out of the way. I will get the Deluxe Edition eventually for the content but I’m in no rush for the routes by any means. If I leave it long enough I could get it in a sale which will be a bigger win for me.

We all have to get the game to continue getting fixes and any new DLC but I’m taking a slower and hopefully less painful approach this year. No need to be rushing in during the buggy phase. Early Access is a marketing ploy and I’ve always thought it to be daft. Matt used early access builds in the console stream when he had the option to use release builds. An odd choice as it’s obviously going to be a bit worse. We all know this is when the game is at its most frustrating and it releases with unfinished features etc. I’m just not having it this year. I’ll wait a bit.

 

I've often had to call upon the services of the Fuel Rats, they will come and rescue you no matter where you are often deploying operation 'Black Buck' just to get to you!

Loved the original on my spectrum and still enjoy trying to get lost!

 

If I remember correctly, FDev offered console Cmdrs free migration to the steam version of ED. I'm not sure if DTG would be willing to do this - hmmm.

 

It's gone past 18:00. Anyone managed to download TSW7 on Steam yet?

 

Yes, at my place.

 

It takes time!

 

So, on a more positive note than recently, i thought I'd try the same service (ICE 682) Matt did last night when it crashed after a few minutes seeing as I'm also using an XSX.

I've got about 15 minutes into it and it hasn't crashed so the crash may be due to having all layers enabled/installed?

Can't for the life of me to get AFB to work though, I've enabled it on the touch screen but just doesn't seem to do anything so might have to go back and rewatch how to use it!

 

Did he think his team had actually fixed TSW? I don't understand how else this could have gone. Oceangate levels of hubris.

 

As I said a year or so back now if DTG staff were forced to play on console only for a month I'm sure they would fix it faster or give it more priority.

Matts frustration showed on camera.

I just can't believe 9 months after we were told it was a priority all we have seen are a handful of routes with slight improvement.

If there was only 1 person dedicated to console fixes the ampunt of work hours over 9 months and you still haven't adjusted the removal of locos from the VRAM on consoles. What has been going on.

This feels ljke Deja Vu from TSW5. So obviously we have taken a big step back not forward.
