Re: New NVIDIA Beta Drivers Fix Some Sid Meier Stuff

Well, I can't find that in the release notes but the 175.16 does address some SMR issues.

Alright, that's quite enough of that! :x Isn't that the deluxe version of RR Tycoon? It can also be downloaded from the game's website. :roll:

Rather than a Railroads! wiki, how about maybe a wiki on the RR Tycoon Series as a Whole? It would have everything on the Railroads! Wiki, plus stuff for the other Railroad Tycoon games. May I suggest another feature? A master Train List! A list of every engine featured in all 4 games, with a compar...

Personally, I preferred Trainz. What kind of Steamers does KRS have to offer besides those British ones? Any 4-4-0 types? Actually, from what I have seen, the graphics are better than MSTS, and about matched with Trainz, depending of course on the fact that Trainz is well established as well as the ...

It's good to have some of the tenders to the engines, but I don't like to use the American's tender on any other engine. Anybody interested in making a 3 axle coal tender for some of the European Engines?

I especially like how the engines' bogies actually swivel on the curves! When you think of its relation to the other games in the series, maybe the Firaxis guys knew what they were saying when they said it's not RRT4! :roll: The Nintendo Mario games can show SMR's comparison to RRT, here I'll show y...

What the doctor said. I personally like to see the engines close up where they are big and detailed, like the engine info screens in the original RRT. That's why I don't like RRT2 or Rollercoaster Tycoon's 3/4 view perspective, as they don't let me see the trains close up. Since the SMR camera zooms...

I pmed gackbeard last December, when he was still with Firaxis, he had stated that they had addressed almost all the issues with the v1.1 patch, and the others are driver issues. I upgraded my drivers back in April, and I must admit the game's been pretty much crash free. Also, the team has been wor...

To me, the graphics of Railroads! wins hands down, and the landscaping is a dream. Most of the game's potential was not realized, however, because the game had to be published prematurely as the company (management) was fighting for its survival at the time (and lost). So most RR veterans have retu...

I have had such problems, but I recently upgraded my graphics card's driver, and since then crashes have been minimal, so there is hope in sight for it!

Re: Persuade Me

The game looks interesting, and I'd like something along these lines. But I have a decision to make. Should I buy the most recent game (Sid Meier's Railroads!) or an earlier one (Railroad Tycoon 3 demo looks promising). I need more information to decide. What I have picked up so far (correct me whe...

One other thing in Railroads! is you no longer need to build a post office, restaurant, etc. This may seem like a bad thing, but, the bigger stations, as in real life, have those amenities built inside of them. This accounts for the additional revenue when upgrading a station.

I had that problem on Train Table, too. I have a 2.8gig computer on XP with a 512mb agp Radeon x1300 series. I upgraded to the 7.3 driver a while back. Then I did Train Table again and built quite a bit of track, got lots of trains on it, and did not have any CTDs for all the hours I played. I think...

Take-Two unveiled '100-Day Plan,' today, says 'GTA is Our James Bond'. Cost structures at the company will be addressed. Management said that it will be looking for strategic alternatives for any non-core or non-profitable divisions of the company. Firaxis not mentioned. I believe they also mention...
