RW won't load from Steam? Missing DLL?

Steam is new to RailWorks so if you have any issues making it function or questions about how it works before you start then this is the place to get your answers.

RW won't load from Steam? Missing DLL?

Post by Frates »

When I try to launch my newly downloaded copy of RWs it asks me to test the display settings. However as soon as I click test, I get an error window stating that it was unable to open the "GameManager.dll" and I have to quit. Anybody else had this problem?

Yeah me too - sitting in this folder C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\plugins at 8.3mb

This is very frustrating - I can't see any option at this stage other than to delete and re-download???

Just out of interest, are you new to RailWorks, having not used Rail Simulator before on your PC?

Regardless of what options I select (including fullscreen) the error still occurs. My GPU drivers are up to date and I don't have any problems with any other games including those I launch from Steam.

Sorry I just tried it and when testing it wouldn't accept what I suggested. Perhaps you should send a email to RS.com support.

Good shout - I've just emailed them, although this has clearly put an end to any hope of me having a go today.
