Hello everyone,
Please find below details of an update we'll be pushing to players today. This is another smaller patch to improve some key core issues raised by the community and a range of fixes for issues on WCML and Frankfurt that we've been able to fix.
Please note, this update is currently being pushed live on all platforms, but may need up to 24 hours to come through to your systems.
This is still one of our smaller update patches, and isn't a core. The teams are still working on large post-release patches that we mention on this thread in the coming weeks, as well as your feedback from Early Access and Launch.

Thank you for your patience whilst we’ve worked on delivering these fixes. Additionally, our teams are still continuing to work on optimisations to help prevent crashing and areas of FPS dropping across TSW5 routes, as well as improvements we’ve committed for the West Coast Main Line. We’re still developing and testing these, and we will share more news once they’re ready.
