Hello folks,
We have our next series of post-release improvements as we approach the release of Birmingham: Cross-City, our first new route since the launch of TSW3! This update brings a range of performance enhancements, stuttering reductions, UI fixes and further scenario medal experience adjustments to allow more gold medals to be achieved.

Thank you all for continuing your feedback, we will keep improving Train Sim World 3 to be the best it can be with more updates to come.

Headliners

System

We’ve removed your fast-track ticket out of the game – you will no longer experience a crash when exiting to desktop.

Performance

We’ve implemented a fix that should reduce game-wide micro-stuttering to make the experience as smooth as possible. The team has also removed points of lag in certain conditions, such as instantly rotating the camera when loading into a route as well as during the Shop Class scenario on Cajon Pass, coupling the two ES44C4's together should no longer momentarily pause the game.
The DB Dopplestock will also no longer massively impact performance when having the headlights activated – You may now safely and smoothly, go into the night.

Gameplay

We’ve fixed an error so LZB should no longer jump down in distance in the middle of a ride. If you continue to experience issues after this patch, let us know on our forums.

Fixed achievements

Further adjustments have been made to the required experience of medals across various routes to allow for gold medals to be achievable. This patch includes the 1938 Heritage Tube Stock Introduction on the Bakerloo line, S-Bahn Shutdown Scenario and Wash and Go Scenario on München-Augsburg and the Cane Creek Introduction.
