Bernina full of bugs

[wleopold]

I already wanted to write a positive review because this route looks beautiful. But with my second drive I got stuck. With the southbound service Ospizio Bernina-Tirano R1625 I had the following issues:
- At Brusio you have to stop exactly on the point, otherwise you can't unload/load passengers
- At the long diagonal street crossing near Campascio the gates don't close and you drive trough the cars
- At Campocologno you have a red signal that stays red forever, so you can't finish the service - really great after a 1 1/2 hour drive!

What a dissapointment - again. And I'm not even talking about all the graphical glitches like parked cars sunken in the ground, floating trees, a track cutting through the platform at Ospizio Bernina, etc...

So a few issues is full of bugs? You are exaggerating a lot. Yes there are issues but in general it is well done.

Complainig about not beeing able to finish a 1 1/2 hours route is exaggerating, seriously?

I cant get over the price 50 plus dollars is insane for a DLC

Although I've encountered the same bug on the southbound service I'm still enjoying the route thoroughly.

It's Rivet's best route so far IMO and the only Swiss route using TSW4 features.

Hopefully Rivet will release an update to fix the southbound issue soon.

There are plenty of errors with PSR signs not matching the limit shown in the HUD. Also the distant signal when leaving the road in Tirano, towards the station, always seems to be clear when the block signal is at danger. This block signal doesn't seem to clear automatically, requiring you to give the signaller a nudge before it clears.

I generally like the route but for the price charged they should ^&%$£% well be checking it thoroughly before releasing it. Also, why isn't it going through to St. Moritz and Pontresina ??

Can confirm, I have encountered a few issues mentioned above as well (mostly with speed signaling inconsistencies). Nothing groundbreaking though, so far managed to finish 3 scenarios in one go.


Also, I think train introduction tutorial could use a small optimization. When you climb up the gradient and the game asks you to reduce throttle to 0, it then displays a wall of text and objective becomes to set the train brakes, at this point train passes a signal and it becomes red. So if you decide to read the text, instead of applying brakes, you will start rolling back and it takes just a couple meters of rolling back to hit that signal which just turned red and tutorial fails. While this is easily avoidable for seasoned players, I could see this as an issue for new players who want to take things slow with the tutorial.

This could easily be avoided if throttle objective would be a bit further way, giving you enough time to apply brakes later, if you started brake late once rolling back.

When this was challenged prior to release Rivet said they couldn't achieve the quality they wanted for the price if the full route was developed.

If it is a choice between a smaller section of the route done well and the whole one done badly I'd opt for the smaller section. I think it's been done well, but that's because I enjoy the visuals and am less bothered by operating bugs etc.

I can understand why people might question the quality because of bugs if they don't get fixed quickly.

Rivet made the full route from Ospizio Bernina all the way to St Moritz, without the scenery and partially signalized, the video below is a proof of that:

So maybe a future DLC is coming later in about 6 months? And since we already paid for this section of the route, we should get the route wextension/update for free.

All content for TSW as well as the core game are full of bugs and most of them will never get fixed.

I'd love to get the extension for free! I'm not sure I follow your logic that somehow you are entitled to it after buying this section, though.

good morning
I downloaded DLCs Bernina packs Tirano-Poschiavo and also S:.Morits Poschiavo.
I realized for both that the speed can't overcame 30 km/h in all situation. Do you have some explanation? may you help me to understand If I have to apply some procedures? Thanks in advance
