We decided to create a forum for Sid and Firaxis's newest title: Sid Meier's Railroads!.
Have fun discussing the game here!

[RR] Welcome to the Railroads forum!

Wow have to admit, i was surprised to find this forum here! Unfortunatley my pc won't handle it (it won't run CIV4 either).
I had to post because i had this message at the top of the screen "Hello teccuk, it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks. Why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution, or participate in a discussion in any one of our forums?" How lovely.

Thank you for hosting SMRR. Lets create some excitement and ideas then hopefully Firaxis will notice. It's a great game, reminds me of Civ4 
that I've yet to get.

Are we allowed to talk about earlier incarnations of Railroads(Railroad Tycoon 1-3)?

Yes. At this point there is just one SMRR sub-forum. Other forums may have sub-forums 1,2 and 3 but here it's just one.

Since this is Sticky-ed, I guess it's okay to bump it for a good reason.
I have RT3. I like it a lot, especial the complex supply and demand system. The regular level is still a good challenge for me. I also have Civ IV.
So should I get railroads, or stick with RT3?

Railroads! is a different type of game. It is not Railroad Tycoon IV. If you like model railroads, you will probably like it. It's all a matter of personal preference.

Okay. I think I'll stick with RT3 then.

I'm curious: How much is the game going for in retail store? I'm considering getting this game, as I have the demo on my PC, and I love it.

I've gotten it in a jewel case for $10.You'll probably find it for $20.It's incredibly fun!
I'm quoting from the link you just shared
" Cons: It was fun until the debilitating crashes started. frequent crashes that simple killed the video, forcing a hard restart. i downloaded the patch and it fixed the first stage, but the rest crashed. its really too bad this could have went down as a great one.
Other Thoughts: where was QA? really? seriously? What were they thinking releasing this game before it's done."
Sadly I have to "+1" at that.
The game is TONS of fun, but every time I'm tempted to load it up again I recall how much it falls on its face with super-nasty crashes.
I wonder if anyone has installed the game on a Windows 7 box - has that magically added any stability?

I know the thrill of this, for most of you anyway, has come and gone. I JUST got this game yesterday though, (Late bloomer?) so if any of you are still around and still playing we'll have something to chat about.
So far so good with the Vista OS. Only one crash and that was after more than an hour. It wasn't a big map though. In fact, it was the first one. I'm taking a tentative "We'll see" approach at this point. Because of that, I'm holding off on the 1.1 patch to make sure I don't exasperate any RAM issues that might exist.
I've also got a good friend coming to visit in a couple of weeks and he's quite the IT whiz. I'm looking forward to getting things hammered out then. I hope we can because so far I'm in LOVE with this game!

I believe that the only issue you will have is on larger maps, especially on high graphics. You might want to download a 3 gigabyte switch.

The 3Gb switch warnings looked pretty scary! I don't think I'm ready to try that for my XP problems with Railroads. I uninstalled it because every map I tried but the first crashed when I reached what I'd consider the "mid-game". Too bad -- up to that point it was a lot of fun.
