    DTG Alex, I am bringing up again an issue reported early in the release of WCML, that of the 710s giving a UE crash at the AWS magnet just before the platform of the first stop after Euston. This has actually been looked at in the General Discussion threat related to the mods released by JetWash and his friends. We know it's not related to any of the mods released by them, since it predates what they have done. What these investigations have revealed is that it is time related, early in the evening departures from Euston of 4 car sets, happens at that AWS magnet but is not related to whether the safety systems are on or off. I have tested this on service 2D98 with safety systems on and off, with mods installed and all my mods removed. So am asking, is this in the list of issues being looked at.
    zappatime has run all services in that time frame and this is the list he complied for problem runs, all others run fine.
    2D95 - 16:55 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead
    2D98 - 17:42 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead
    2D99 - 17:55 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead
    2D50 - 18:12 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead
    2D51 - 18:25 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead —- (5-car)
    2D53 - 18:58 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead
    2D56 - 19:43 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead
    2D57 - 19:58 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead
    2D58 - 20:13 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead
    2D61 - 20:58 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead
    2D69 - 22:55 - crashes at aws ramp just before South Hampstead

    Interior lights on 350 still sometimes enables, sometimes not. Some lottery. And if it's not, than you can't bring it on anyway, even if click on it like 100 times.

    Sharon E we had this discussion a few weeks ago as you could replicate the issues I was having, it’s not just on the Overground services though!

    Some 350's now runs with front corridor doors open. Both that I met was 4 cars, so maybe it happens after splitting the train.

    Does AI switches the headlights in real time or only at the start of a service? Cause it's a night already with scenery lights on(which is a miracle), but AI's still running in "day" configuration.

    Still did wcml today, and I crashed between South hampstead and Euston. Xbox series s. I saw a lot of trees which could have contributed. The service was Crewe to London Euston

    Can we get the 15mph speed restriction working in Euston? The speedboards are present and the TPWS will stop your train if you approach the buffers any faster.

    Thanks!

    Hemel Hempstead North End needs the platform finishing off.

    The black fence runs all the way down the ramp. There is a wall at the end of the platform.

    Also at Hemel Hempstead North End, when the platform is finished, the signage needs moving as the 12 car mark is down the ramp at the north end.

    DTG Alex - please can the saloon lighting for the Class 350 be fixed? A lot of them run in total darkness on night runs.

    DTG Alex I don't know whether DTG is aware about this issue, but it makes WCML literally unplayable...

    Class 350 has some major memory issues resulting in FPS drops and blurry textures if more than one unit is in the area.

    (for comparsion same amount of 377 has been spawned and everything is allright)

    The 350 is having it's physics reworked by Dovetail.
    It's an all platform issue that some of the more knowledgeable individuals have already spotted.
    Should get the suspension included with the fix , when Dovetail have finished the work.

    I have noted the red on ground v green in HuD at Stonebridge Park. Though I have never noted the trees up in the air.

    I have a foliage increase draw .ini mod, but they still shouldn't be there, the mod doesn't add things to the route.

    Just done two timetables through Watford, this evening,nothing apart from the frame rate issues, with static/moving 350's at the station .Always look around at the station stops.
    Another mystery Djs.
    I wonder if your draw distance increase has shown the possible frame rate problem at Watford?It doesn't show up at standard settings.

    Steam, PC, but I suppose it's a crossplatform issue

    So the blurry textures issue will be resolved with the fix? it doesn't seem like physics problem

    Obviously the two aren't related.
    What pc specs do you run with?
    Don't have the blurry texture issues on the wcml or any other routes.
    It's a puzzle why some on pc are suffering with this.Never had the problem with 4 or 5.
    Pc steam no mods.2070 super,and 3600,32 GB ram, separate SSD for install.

    Wow. Somebody really needs to get out more !

    Of all the (some of them of course justified) whinging about this game, this has got to be the saddest 'complaint' I've ever seen.

    Maybe I'm just lucky on my Series X (or maybe I'm just not as bothered as some) but I've yet to experience any issues on this line and certainly not any as trivial as this !

    Honestly never known such a self-entitled, constantly complaining, gaming community such as this one :D

    This is the WCML feedback thread.
    He's giving feedback.
    How you feel about tsw5 is welcome.
    Insulting other members on here, doesn't help the community.
    So next time you're running down the wcml and you see something that shouldn't be,or looks wrong; come here and point it out.

    No mole here :D

    Don't have to be a mole to think that somebody taking the time to take a screenshot, annotate said screenshot and post about it all because a tiny section of wall is "missing" or a stop marker is a few feet away from real life, is taking pickiness to absolutely absurd (and sad) levels.

    Each to their own though and all that. Whatever makes you happy, although this 'community' seems to be in a permanent state of misery.

    Jesus man, mind ur own business if u don't like people complaining ignore it it's not that hard also This is just a feedback thread, as everyone has the right to complain and have their own opinions about the game or certain route if nothing is correct, Also No one asked u to make a harsh comment about it. But To be fair u will never find a route with no problems because a route will always need fixes to it.

    For those who are are experiencing crashes on services facing Euston in the London area. I recommend you try the MK side as the journey between Watford Junction and MK central is really smooth. For me, doing it towards MK on my xbox series s is so much nicer as it feels really smooth which is good.

    I would like to see/hear tunnel reverb when passing through Wembley Central. Its not a major problem but its something I always notice in real life when speeding through, is the change in sound.

    Also, I don't think these services are 4 coaches in real life.

    1H02: London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly

    Destination doesn't show on PIS board. Also, upon arrival at Milton Keynes, why is there an instruction to lock the doors? I arrived at 06:40 and the service is not due to depart until 06:44. Kinda pointless closing the doors only for the AI to reopen them (although this is an issue on other routes as well).

    The good thing us leaving Euston, you don't have the crash, but on the journey back between Watford Juction and Euston. DTG Liam, could you guys work on optimising Watford junction to Euston as it gets rough especially when you get into Euston which indicates in crashes. I have had a crash on guard mode around Wembley yard. Xbox series s. Just as a note, I have turned the layers off in the past and it still crashed a lot. I recon it is the scenery. I have completed a lot of services, but that was Euston to MK, it's just the MK to Euston which is the problem.

    The place where I constantly crash is either on the approach to Euston just after south hampstead tunnel or its in Euston. But its mainly the approach to Euston

    Mine always crashes at this point on the PS4, it never seems to be rectified by any patch update, it's beginning to get very irritating now

    You're just going to have to get used to it unfortunately.

    PS4 and Xbox One are increasingly unable to cope with the game.

    I think xbox one and ps4 are keeping gen 9 behind. Once gen 8 isn't on tsw, then it should be fine
