Steam Deck requires an unsupported configuration
Dovetail does not officially support Steam Deck or other mobile-PC platforms in the TSW 5 FAQ. The page notes that the game may require manual hardware or game configuration; it supplies no verified universal configuration. [1]
Previously installed add-ons are absent in TSW 5
Train Sim World 5 uses its own add-on files. An installation of an add-on for an earlier game does not replace downloading its TSW 5 version. [1]
Documented steps
- Download the Train Sim World 5 version of the compatible add-on. [1]
Profile import does not install purchased add-ons
Dovetail’s TSW 5 FAQ says purchases are tied to the platform account, not the imported player profile or Dovetail Live. A successful profile import is therefore not proof that add-ons were installed. [1]
Add-ons bought through another PC store are unavailable
The FAQ says games and add-ons cannot transfer across separate platforms. [1]
Its platform list treats Steam and Epic Games Store on PC as separate platforms. Sharing the same PC does not combine those store entitlements. [1]
