Known Issues & Future Patch Update Comms
Today we’re sharing a full plan of our approach for upcoming TSW6 improvements, and a rough timeline of when you can expect these updates to arrive. Our teams are working hard to make sure we keep the TSW6 experience as smooth as possible, prioritising key community-reported issues and folding these into our update plan.
Currently, our team are working towards the first few patches, and we’ve detailed a summary for the issues we’re aiming to include in each of these drops. As a disclaimer, this won’t be the entire list of changes, and some items may be subject to change, but this is an overview of the key improvements our teams are working towards, and when you can expect them.
TSW6 Patch One (Arrived for Steam, with Epic Games/Consoles Coming This Week) to improve key issues from early access, including:
- PS5 Audio popping and crackling
- PS5 Audio cutting out during gameplay
- Removed train faults from incorrectly appearing in scenarios
- Fixed an issue causing Dovetail Live login to not appear when selecting the ‘sign in’ option.
- Fixed an issue causing an incorrect controller layout to appear in the UI.
- Fixed an issue causing announcements to stop playing after 20 minutes.
- Added the ‘climb up’ prompt that was missing from Summit platforms.
- Removed the headlight objectives for Leipzig’s Big Helper scenario to prevent it from bring incompletable.
- Fixed a display issue on the DB BR 442 causing the HUD and screens to report power being applied when no power is actually being applied during wheel slide conditions.
To view our full changelog, please see the September 30th Update Notes post.
TSW6 Patch Two (Expected next week)
- to target further key reported community issues.
TSW6 Patch Three (2-3 Weeks post-launch)
- will target more reported issues/feedback.
The patches won’t stop after this, our teams will continue to bring regular improvements to TSW6 built from our internal reports, community raised issues and general feedback we’re seeing.
Thank you all for using our feedback channels and helping us keep track of the issues you’ve seen in game, please continue to share your thoughts, and check out our TSW6 FAQs, Getting Started Guide, and Support Website for more information as you need it.
