Hi, Unfortunately the graphics looks awful on my PC, this is a top of the line with an RTX4080. The graphics basically look weird and low res even with the settings maxed and in 4k. I had the same issue with TSW4 and just thought the game was janky for ages until one day I stumbled across a forum post that had a resolution to download a GameUserSettings.zip and drop in into one of the directories of the game. I did this and wow it totally transformed the game, it then looked a million times better. I have tried all the FAQ advice for TSW5 and gfx settings to no avail. Is a fix like this available for the new game. I find it unplayable because it looks dreadful at the moment. Thanks in advance.
Same here! Textures are terrible! Not to mention, performance is a nightmare. Stuttering and freezing on Kinzigtalbahn for 5-10 seconds at a time every minute or so. 3440x1440 resolution, graphics high/ultra, avg FPS. 35-45. on TSW4 i'd average 100-130fps with all maxed-out graphics settings. Also, why is the ground texture blue? The lighting needs MAJOR improvements... Nvidia RTX 4090 AMD Ryzen 9 7960X3D 64gb ddr5 ram at 6000mhz 2TB M.2 SSD
I am running WCML and, to my surprise it is running with only an occasional studder. My setup is very similar to yours Train Sim Society. I am having to run in all my TSW4 routes with this new machine and on the first 2 or 3 runs was getting terrible shuddering and pauses up to 4 seconds long. Frame rate is holding in the low 60s. I have everything set to high or ultra.
I too have issues with extremely low quality graphics using PC Game Pass. I downloaded the training center on Steam and it's a night and day difference in quality graphics wise. Even the main menu using PC Game Pass is fuzzy and low quality. I did notice if I changed the slider for screen rendering, or something along those lines, from 100% to 200% the quality did improve. But really seems to have an issue with Game Pass PC graphics quality. Makes me want to switch to Steam but I already have several DLC routes on Game Pass and I don't want to start my collection new on Steam. Just found an older post where an edited GameUserSettings.ini file was recommended. Is this the same bug? PC Game Pass version not allowing for full screen and not rendering in 4k?
Same issue using gamepass. I can run at 4k ultra settings at 60fps. But it just looks awful. Same as shared pic above. Msi afterburner shows everything running fine, like low temp and usage on cpu and gpu. But like stated it looks like a game from 10 years ago. It's a shame there doesn't seem to be a fix
So I've downloaded the starter pack on steam and the difference is 100% better. It seems that xbox doesn't give you the option to have fullscreen, just windowed and it's not letting it change. I have no idea what to do here
Crazy it's an issue from at least April of last year. But this post did solve the issue for me. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsw4-pc-resolution-issues-resolved.77964/ Replacing the GameUserSettings.ini with the attached ini in the thread fixed it. However resolution may still need to be changed, might have still be defaulted to 1080, but did allow for "full-screen" after the new ini. However if you change to windowed I can't see an option in game to go back to "full-screen". So don't change in game from full-screen to windowed. However changing resolution was okay and now actually looks 4k.
With the Gamepass edition, have you tried changing the DPI scaling? >.exe>properties>compatibilty>Change high DPI settings EDIT: It seems that the linked post further up solved the problem anyway.
Hi all, Apologies, I think my email notifications for replies must have gone into the junk folder. I can confirm that I utilised the gameusersetting.ini solution as posted above. I retrieved it from this post by DTG Chris which I used on TSW4 as I had the same issue on PC Gamepass for TSW 4. This has resolved my graphical issues. Thank you.
