Today we’re sharing a long-awaited fix for the Xbox “Jackhammer” audio issue and some additional fixes. For users on Xbox who have been affected we thank you for being extremely patient while we worked to a solution, and we are happy to announce it now functions as originally intended!

In addition to this, we’ve fixed an issue for Railfan shots uploading on Xbox, stutter when using controllers, as well as refuelling on multiple routes and scenarios. We also have further improvements from previous preservation crew updates on West Somerset Railway and Ruhr-Sieg Nord.
