How many of you play multiplayer

[warmwaffles]

As the Title suggests "How many of you play multiplayer"

I played it once...got stomped thoroughly and I can't stand it because it is all determined by your start position. I wish you could start where ever you wanted.

I can't wait till the patch comes out...god the crashing annoys me at times

I haven't gotten into to play single player well enough for me to screw up anyone's online experience yet. On another site someone told me to change the affinity of my dual core processor. I tried that and it didn't help. I get booted within 10 minutes of playing every single time. I do sort of move around a lot looking at the different trains, but if the game won't let me do that with 1 gb of ram and a 2.20 ghz processor then I tend to think it's a game problem more then anything else.

Something is wrong with your set up because I am running this game on a Celeron D processor with an ATI Radeon 9250 Pro PCI card. By the way Celerons suck if you haven't caught on...when I finally get 1000 bucks or so I plan to upgrade to dual core and replace my MOBO and hard drives with SATA and what not...the tower is just fine..just not the processor

I never play multiplayer, so no, I haven't...

When playing multiplayer, you'd be glued to your computer and when your wife calls you to do something - rescue her from a spider, for example, you'd not be able to go - or it might screw your game...

Driveby, I'm actually on a dual core AMD processor. This game doesn't like dual cores very much though. I've known a lot of people that change their affinity in this game and turn of either CPU 1 or CPU 0 for this game to make it work at all. If you have any suggested changes let me know. I think a good patch will help me out though.

After trying that I am still only getting upwards of 30 minutes a game play. If I got an hour and a half out of this game I would be elated.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: ramp up to 2 gigs of RAM and see how the game treats you.

I <3 my DDR2

well the only problem is man is that my board can only support 2 channels of memory and a max of I think 1 GB (not sure it might be 2GB) but anyways this computer sux...I wish I had a newer one but I am going to have to wait

I hear ya; I was waiting a year to upgrade my machine and just did it this fall... enjoying it while it's able to handle just about anything I can throw at it before more sophisticated titles come out.

My roommate and I stayed up past midnight the day I got Railroads playing single player, taking turns pearching over the shoulder of the other guy and playing backseat conducter "Don't build the track like that you fool! You're dooming our company to bankrupcy!"

When I asked if he wanted to get another copy so we could multiplay he said, "Eh, this is more fun." Actually, I kind of agree with him. Whenever I play with an AI it's a huge pain running track over, around, and through his. So I'm not even that interested in the multiplayer.

Unless somebody out there has played and tells me it rocks, then I guess I'd try it.

i plan on trying multiplayer, but i have a question wat abt the problem where the comp just hangs up for some seconds when u lay a piece of track. or even when u click on the change consist button

i have that prob, and i think it m8 ruin my online experience.

I think multi-player would be fun. Just imaging your glee when someone attempts to buy you out and his game crashes..
