Especially on the route Frankfurt - Fulda, but unfortunately also on other maps, for example Salzburg - Resenheim, there is blurring of textures both inside and on the dashboard. Although it has already been mentioned many times in the last few days, for the sake of overview I am giving it a separate thread in relation to the PS5
Yeah, so far all coverage I have seen of this issue has been on XBox, but I was curious because the nature of it looked way more like something that ought to be a universal issue.
Blurring also occasionally appears near Rosenheim - Salzburg, especially in the Salzburg Hbf area, I haven't tested other maps ..... it will be something in relation to memory usage and it certainly worsens the use of external cameras
Unsurprisingly, it was also present on the updated Dresden-Riesa route released with the then freshly new TSW 4. It is quite shameful on Dovetail Games’ behalf to not do anything meaningful about it as it’s been bothering players on multiple platforms persistently for years. Then again, it’s nothing new... What I really want to know is if this is their take on “optimization” at least for console performance… a little transparency on the issue would be nice.
I feel like we should be the majority of TSW players realistically when taking into account both PlayStation and Xbox across two generations. But even if we were the minority by a marginal amount that doesn’t excuse the inaction.
This “fix one thing and break another” behavior that Dovetail Games has been getting quite comfortable with for a while at this point is getting tiresome. It seems as if they just don’t care.
It could be a coincidence, but it seems to me that the biggest problems are when a person drives a service with a set of DoSto cars or now also Flixtrain. But it could just be a coincidence ...... problems are noted in the Salzburg area, so I can't say for sure if it's a problem in the core of the game or in individual maps ....... but the biggest problem is Frankfurt - Fulda. And maybe other maps do it too, but I don't have the capacity to try everything. EDIT: Perhaps, similar to the case of the problem with setting the weather, the reaction of someone from DTG would help, whether they will try to solve the blurring of textures or not......
I also have problems with Flixtrain, mostly around Hanau..... and BR101 also blurred, but after a while it revived and it was even ok when arriving at Frankfurt Hbf
Most German locos have this issue to some degree on many different routes on my PS5. I just expect it now as it has been happening for so long. Since TSW5 came out I have spent nearly all my time on the Frankfurt Fulda route, mainly doing ICE services, but all services I have done (in any train) have ended with at least some blurry textures in the cab, on the exterior of the train, or both. It hasn’t spoilt my enjoyment of it that much, and seeing it happen is nothing new as it happened a lot in TSW4, but it definitely needs sorting.
Now I drove RE50 Dresden Riesa, DostoCab + Dosto + BR111 and it also blurred practically the whole way...... I'll admit that I didn't notice the blurring much in TSW4, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Currently it doesn't happen to me, or I haven't noticed it, on the Vorarlberg and Semmeringbahn maps ...... But there are no Dosto cars at all
It's been another week and we haven't received a fix yet. I drive without a HUD and watching the blurry speedometer is annoying.
It seems to be a general problem on console that after a while the textures are no longer displayed correctly. See also here on Xbox Series X
