Still Experiencing game crashes.

[richardkirkwood664]

Hi all, a lil update on my progress. I uninstalled, then re-installed the whole game, and had another go at it today. I had 3 game crashes, possibly 4, i can't remember. One route was a new route to TSW 5, tried the Midland Mainline Route, same problem. There was another route i tried that also failed.

In the end, I tried the Great Western route. That worked fine. My PC is capable of running this, and i had no issues with TSW4. I am wondering if some of the DLC's/routes are struggling, not working correctly with the new build.

It is getting to a point that i simply can't play the game. Get so far, game crashes... I apologise for saying, but I wouldn't expect such problems, taking into mind I had no issues with TSW4, and i am always happy to pay for a new version. I know you will be working on it, but it is annoying.

Something is wrong, and i hope it will be fixed soon.

Many thanks

56 hours here and I had a single crash to desktop. So the game can run stable enough. And I have only played the new routes.

Here are some suggestions to what might fix your issues

And if not, then I suggest you contact their support as they won't be able to fix your issue if they don't know what it is.

Same here, I have had three crashes I think, it was either mod-related, or the system needed a reboot and the biggest issue is my GPU after so many days maybe a week I get out of video memory, this never happened with the 3090 GPU, but once I reboot the PC, the game runs okay, and I have 293 / 297 Mods Activated, I'm also running program to make the rail driver work better than natively and I'm running a program to make Tobii work with TSW2, 3, 4 and 5. And more often than not my browser is open with 157 tabs oh and OBS to record.

I say all this not to brag. Look at some of the videos I posted here on Steam. I am by far the furthest away from a white night for DTG. This is a shared computer, and many times, I need to use Google Glass or I need to do other things, like now here on Steam when the game is sitting idle on the main menu. I also use an enhanced ini file. And NO I don't like buying TSW every year, and TSW5 this time was Gifted to me, I hate it that every year a new game comes out, and every route has a few broken scenarios, like the Red light bug.

This time around the rail driver would be almost useless if it wasn't for a modder Cobraone and the program that makes the RD work normally, well mostly that is, just look at the troubleshooting thread on DTG. The mods I use all help make the game better, be it run better, look better, or sound better.

I would suggest you look at your system is it updated, are the GPU drivers are up-to-date and stable, the game has to build up the shader cache, which means running scenarios long and short the more the better. Make sure no outdated mods are installed. Make sure the system security features are not causing an issue as well as the AV and the Documents folder for TSW is not wright protected. Windows UAC, Defender/firewall your AV, and if it is AVG/Avast are one in the same and are Trash, Bitdefender FREE is better.

I do not experience crahses. TSW5 runs very stable in general. So it is not ithe game itsepf causing this problem. You can check this:

- Check if your computer meets the minimu system requirements.
- Make sure Windows is fully updated
- Make sure the graphics driver is fully updated
- Remove all Mods (TSW4 mods will not workon TSW5)
- Remove all added engine.ini settings

If all this is not the cause of the problems, it may be that you have a hardware issue.

I had a crash two days ago (my first ever) driving the F40PH on the Penninsular Corridor route. The unreal engine bug reporter said it was an unresolved stack issue. I pressed send so we'll see.

That won't help, as the report goes to Epic Games. As TSW is a custom modified UE4.26 engine, Epic won't fix DTG errors.

Just make sure if you are using mods, all of them are tagged as TSW5 compatible, and verify your installation through Steam.

Also make sure you're not using any shader cache related ini tweaks. Most of them are unsafe.

I play in Linux with no game mods. Steam always pre-caches my shaders prior to any game start (presumably because i interact via proton/wine for all my non-native Linux games).

I just recreated the unreal engine crash again today on the peninsular route.
