The DVD's are out

Its downloading the files from Steam. Whats the point in the disk?

Dean

I assume it is either updating the game or perhaps fixing the game cache as it didn't install fully ( that's just a guess btw ).

Let's not get carried away... firstly, I do know that Steam updates your installation as soon as it installs (check out the version number before and after). Secondly, you can't really blame RSD if your "internet is useless", now can you?

I thought it would just install Steam on there and then download the files off the disk. My fault i have a (edited by moderator) net connection. Can I download this on my laptop then play on my pc?

Dean

Not sure I understand the question - you can play RW on your PC if you install it there, yes.

It will load the files off the disk approx 4GB then it will do an update, depending on the speed of your internet connection and the size of the update this can take a while, but if you had to download the entire programme, that could take several hours! (I've heard upto 4.5 hours on a slow broadband!)

Oh dear!

It may be that Steam is a bit overwhelmed, but if it say's it's downloading files, just minimise that window, and load RW anyway, it should load OK!

Those will not install into Railworks at this time.

got mine too.....But having real problems put all add ons into game , mainly class 158 ukwagons and class 08 !

Actualy you can get them in by copying the assets from RS to RW's assets folder but leave the RS Kuju folder out of the transfer, or else!

I tried clicking Railworks the steam installing bar came up saying creating local game cache files.

Just let it finish, it will load eventually, not sure what speed your internet is, but it may take a while (trust me it's worth it - the class 37 is awsome).

Any chance someone can post a pic of the disc? My copy hasn't arrived and I'd be interested to see what an eco disc is.

Also, from the sounds of it, Steam stikes again. But I'll wait till I get my copy before giving my verdict.

[dean1986]

Its just me I think I have such a slow internet connection.

I don't think it's fair to say that Steam has "struck" again Paul - it's just doing what it says on the tin, which everyone by now should be aware of.

Well, I did say I'd wait till I get my copy before giving my opinion, but from what I'm reading, I am reminded of the 1 hour 40 minutes to install Half-Life 2! Hopefully it's not that bad.
