Now Available on Steam

Nope, go into steam first. Do what Ben explained. Then go to the steam website, Log in (if you haven't already) then purchase, it should be in your cart with a discount.

Hi, can anyone tell me the file size and roughly how long it takes to download.

Cheers

The railsimulator.com website is now back up also, so if you need your code, you can now get it.

Incidentally, the price seems to be lower than quoted on the RS website, they state $30.00, it only charged me $24.99 (full price $49.99).

Do you add it to your cart first then ? and pay and it refunds you ???

I used the 'Activate a product on Steam...' button first and entered the promo code. This downloads a product called RailWorks Promo. I then proceeded to buy the game and go through the checkout process. Hardly the most intuitive way of going about things!

Looks like the download is just short of 5GB (Steam is showing 4948MB required disk space, so I'm not 100% certain if this is the download size, or installed size). I'm downloading at a little over 500KB/s and am currently 13% downloaded in about 15 minutes (it doesn't seem to give you an estimate once it has started downloading, which is a bit poor, but never mind). So I'm guesstimating just about 2 hours to download for me at least.

Paul

PS that download rate suggests a download size of about 3.5GB...

There is also a little bandwidth monitor in Steam under > View > Bandwidth Monitor so you can see how its going.

I fear I may have screwed up then as I purchased it first as per RS's instructions and entered the code on the My Games page - funnily enough I've just had a call from Halifax Credit cards querying the purchase - and mine went through at £34.99 so it looks like I shall be emailing / writing to RSDL or Steam to get my money difference back ! Sure I will not have been the only one to make this mistake
Anyway in 3 hours time I'll have the game - NOT impressed with Steam thus far I have to say - should have waited and got the DVD me thinks :bad-words:

Is it downloaded and installed into the c:\ drive by default?
I was not given the option of where I wanted the install to go, so I presume it is going into c:\program files.
I hope I will be able to move it later to my "simulations" disk using an application mover utility.

[PaulH2]

OK, using the bandwidth monitor, when mine ticked over to 29%, I was at 426.5MB downloaded. Working this through, that gives a total download size of 1470MB (1.44GB), so 4.9GB is the installed size.

When you installed Steam, you had the option to choose which drive it was installed on. As far as I can tell, wherever you chose to install Steam is where RailWorks will be installed.
