    Hello everyone.
    I've been away a long time due to a health problem and maybe I missed something.
    I downloaded the TWS4 editor from Epic game, but I can't launch it. I tried to launch first one and then the other bat file, I selected the TS2Prototype.uproject file, but always got an error. Maybe I need to do something else?
    Would someone be so kind as to explain to me how to start it?
    Thank you infinitely

    what bat files? Launch it through the Epic library like everyone else. and I don't believe you can just open an unreal project file like that, but I may be wrong.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I tried it the first time and saw that nothing happened so I went directly to the installation folder where I saw the bat files.
    Now I'm trying to start it again from Epic, it could be that I was doing two other operations at the same time and it could have caused the startup to stop.

    Make sure that when you first install the editor, you run the actual game from steam so that the editor reads the game files and knows what content you own. if you do not do so the editor will fail to load

    I wish you a speedy recovery aswell :)

    It might also help, if you provide the error

    You also need to run the game in Steam if you bought extra DLC before running the editor otherwise you'll get an error or none of your DTG content showing up in the editor.

    Everything is done. Now works. The problem, if you can call it that, was that once I clicked on editor, nothing appeared and only after a few minutes the screen with the loading percentage appeared, which misled me.
    Now everything works.
    Thanks everyone for the help.

    A bag of patience is the first thing everyone needs who want to use the editor :)
    At the first start, and also after bigger updates, there is a shader compilation ongoing before the splash screen appears. That can take minutes (depends on the CPU power you have).

    i know that u cant make it that long. i think that the 420 needs like 3-6months and the ludmilla 12+ the same with the 218 . is that more realistic and not funny? and i think that u will Leak something for christmas or release something

    the only thing i find funny is having announced a RailVehicle during TSW2 and not having released it until today (TSW4), you basically should have never announced it if you were gonna have so many problems with it, now you promised a lot of fans something and gave them “vorfreude” and didn’t even deliver. :/

    Its the reality tho, lol :D When did you announce the ET420 and BR232? 3 Years ago? Now the 218 also got showen, without the former two locos being released :D And your one year sales ban doesn't help at all.

    Iirc, it was announced by DTG without asking TSG for consent. Pretty sure he said somewhere on the forums, that he wouldn't have announced both the 420 and the 232 at that time. So it's not completely his fault, I guess

    Does the editor work if you have the game on Steam?
    I already have an Epic Games account from when I got TSW2 that summer when it was free for a week or something.
    I gave TSC a try but after being dissatisfied with being stuck in one carriage camera (I half blame me playing TSW2 first) I decided that I'll give TSW4 a shot....I'm honestly excited to get my head down and make a route and hopefully some steam tank locos in the future (unless DTG surprises us with some.)
    Hopefully down the line we'll get some more DLCs added to TSW...there's practically an entire list of ones I'd like to see in the sim from TSC which would be too long to type knowing me. XD
