    I’m having to go back as far as TSW 2 to get items for TSW 6 to show as free?? And not only that I’m having to go through each subsequent version. Example LGV I’m having to download the TSW 2 version then the TSW 5 version to then have access to a ‘free version’ of the TSW 6 LGV. This is absolutely reckless.

    It’s just getting out of hand now. With a new release every year with minor additions to the game itself (and bugs still present from 2-3 versions ago) even with a 1TB ssd I’ve had to remove other games to just have enough space to download each an every subsequent versions of routes to be able to get them to show as free for the new version.

    I didn’t have to do that. I think it maybe only if you have skipped a TSW version? So I just had to claim/download the TSW 6 versions of the DLC. The painful bit for me, is it downloading both PS4 and 5 versions, then having to go back and delete the PS4 versions afterwards. But that’s a PS issue I believe.

    Same here. I only have to download the TSW6 version. And this year it is a lot smoother than last year.

    I have had all TSW editions but I believe it could be that I deleted TSW 5 in preparation to make space for 6 and yeah it’s downloading PS4 and 5 editions just feels really silly to be downloading multiple versions of the same thing I’ve never known anything like it

    Actually you can cancel the queued PS4 downloads. Go to downloads and you’ll see them grouped by PS4 and PS5. Select the PS4 group and choose cancel and delete. The PS4 downloads will disappear and you’ll be left with just the PS5 downloads! You can then also go to settings and storage to remove any PS4 versions that got installed.

    Hey there,

    As long as you have played any of the older DLC in TSW 5 you can upgrade directly. The process of downloading previous iterations is only necessary if you've not played the previous versions. This is to prevent last year's issue of your console automatically downloading ALL versions at the same time.

    You can read more about this in the offical FAQ: https://support.dovetailgames.com/h...How-to-Download-Add-ons-for-Train-Sim-World-6

    All the best,
    Jan
