Game Update Tsw5 Game Update - 26th September

Hello everyone,

Please find below details of an update we'll be pushing to players today. This is another smaller patch to improve some key core issues raised by the community and a range of fixes for issues on WCML and Frankfurt that we've been able to fix.

Please note, this update is currently being pushed live on all platforms, but may need up to 24 hours to come through to your systems.

This is still one of our smaller update patches, and isn't a core. The teams are still working on large post-release patches that we mention on this thread in the coming weeks, as well as your feedback from Early Access and Launch.

Headliners
Core

• Fixed an issue where the upgrade menu pop-up was displaying the wrong items, and the prices weren’t always visible.
• Fixed an issue on PS5 where the cursor would not be visible when viewing digital screens up close.
• Fixed an issue on PlayStation and Epic Games where the Cajon Pass trophy “Pass Out” wasn’t unlocking after completing 10 services. As a note, this may unlock early than expected, but you should now be able to earn this achievement.

Thank you for your patience whilst we’ve worked on delivering these fixes. Additionally, our teams are still continuing to work on optimisations to help prevent crashing and areas of FPS dropping across TSW5 routes, as well as improvements we’ve committed for the West Coast Main Line. We’re still developing and testing these, and we will share more news once they’re ready.
