    Seeing the blurb about the forthcoming TSW4 I thought I'd give TSW a go, as I have TSW2020 already but hardly played (I usually play TSC). So I fired it up, got in the cab and did the necessary but when it was time to move, the game froze and instantly went back to the Steam page.
    Have tried several times on the Transpennine route and also the GW route, with the same results.

    I had noticed on TSC at full screen resolution a similar problem and I resolved that by decreasing
    the resolution one notch (so to speak) and it now runs perfectly with all sliders at maximum.

    Thinking the same might apply on TSW, so I decreased the screen res by several notches
    and with all sliders at medium yet the games still crashes.

    My pc is relatively new, <2 months old, with the following specs:-

    13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700F 2.10 GHz
    64.0 GB (63.8 GB usable)
    NVidea GeForce RTX 4060
    Windows 11

    Has anyone any ideas why this freezing may be happening or is able to
    point me to a thread that mentions my problem please?

    Thank you!

    That was EXACTLY what was needed.
    Tried it on the reduced screen res and all was good, so naturally (?-LOL) I went back into
    settings and put the screen res back up to 3840x2160, still all good, so I then slid the graphic
    sliders back up to max - and boy! Does it look good :)

    So a pint or a coffee on me should we meet.
    Thanks once again Thorgred.


    Edited to add : This also fixes the problem on TSClassic.
