Now Available on Steam

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:

This is not usually how Steam gives discounts using promotional codes. Usually you can type in the code when you purchase the game. RS.com have gone down a complicated and unnecessary route.

I'd imagine there's been a mistake somewhere, as the original instructions were exacty that anyway. I wouldn't deem this method complicated, just a couple more clicks of the mouse really.

"Theokus, please shut up."
I repeat this line over and over again.
railsimulator.com is down... I am waiting, waiting.

This is madness. My receipt has already been debited at 34.99.

WHERE ON THEIR WEBSITE does is say to activate it. Thats normally only for DVD/CD Purchases!

Code worked but download seems to be stuck on 0% Guess the server is slow. The price did not come down though.

Hi,

Must admit it was a little confusing, I ended up with the full price product in my basket. So I deleted it and went back to the Railsim site and followed the instructions and it worked out fine at the cheaper price.

Right, I followed the instructions given by RS.com and Ben. I went to the steam site RS.com told me to, I finished the purchase, went to the games tab and entered the code. And it still charged me full price. I've just checked my account details online and £34.99 has been deducted from my account. How does it work? Does it refund the money to your account after you've entered the code?

Make sure that if you already have RailWorks in your basket at full price, that it is removed from the basket and re-added at the discount price.
