Train Sim World 2 Roadmap - 27 October

Find out what's upcoming for Train Sim World 2 in our latest Roadmap update!
This update to the Train Sim World Roadmap introduces quite a few new items that are tailored towards a single objective: increased performance. PlayStation players in particular fed back that performance on our most ambitious route to date, Hauptstrecke Munich-Augsburg, fell below ideal levels and we're working to resolve this. The addition of layers to existing routes creates additional work for systems to perform and we've had to take the decision to restrict layer inclusion for console players in the short term to ensure no additional impact to gameplay.
For those who haven't encountered the layers concept previously, in essence new route or loco add-ons will add extra services to existing routes when they're added and where it makes sense. For example, Hauptstrecke Munich-Augsburg comes with 325 services by default, but if you also own Rhein-Ruhr Osten, Main-Spessart Bahn and Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr that number is increased to 427.
The benefit of the memory optimisation work we're doing is that it will increase performance across the board, on consoles and PC alike, so even if you're currently enjoying a smooth game experience it should be further improved.
The final batch of Preserved Collection is nearing release, and with that complete the Preservation Crew will turn their attention to improving all releases we've made to date.
The other additions this time relate to recent releases and quality of life improvements. Isle of Wight has multiple fixes coming soon, and we've a big new project we're looking at to overhaul how we deal with game manuals and tutorials outside the game.
The last item of note in this update are the AMD/Ryzen related issues that have been marked as "tracked". From exploration of these two issues we've concluded that the issue is driver-related, and having checked with AMD believe this will be resolved in the near future. As this falls outside our control we will continue to monitor the problem. If you experience an issue as an AMD user we will look into it so please continue to report any trouble you encounter.
