Andrew Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Well I played the demo, which was before I played RRT2, and I learned most of the basics by the end of it. The only thing I dislike now that i have played RRT2 is the whole building the sand and water and roundhouses outside of a station, I sometimes lost track when I was expanding which routes did and didn't have those essential buildings between them in RRT3.

Gwizz Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I still find it frustrating to play RRT3.But there is enough to keep my interest.I believe the patches will pull it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Its just too darn to hot for me to play RT3 for any length of time atm...I got right into it before Christmas...but when the stinking hot, humid Australian summer arrives up here in Queensland...well...its just unbearable in my computer room.I'll tell you about its longevity and difficulty next winter..when I am sure it will get a lot of use.

maddog Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 It's still difficult to use (after all this time) and I think RT2's method of opening separate windows was better. Some of RT3's methods uses only part of the screen and doesn't do that well enough to be effective.--Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbenn Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 i think there's no comparison - I went back to RT2 and looked at it for about 3 seconds, then uninstalled it for good. Apart from the graphics, the more flexible tracklaying and loading make it much more enjoyable. I like being able to keep track of whichever data screen I like without losing the map view, and the better features in eg loco replacement are great. Not to mention the editor ... no comparison, in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinger Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hi gang, Anyone else have an issue with starting up the game? When I try to start the game it goes to the window error reporting screen to send a report to MS. Says "RT3 has experienced a problem and must shut down" This happens no what which way I start it, I have the latest updates on everything. I even tried downloading the demo and got the same error message. I have an HP Pavilion 754n with 2.53gig, 512 ram, FX5600 128 video card running XP Home. Any Ideas folks?Ding ???

Andrew Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 So you have the latest driver updates and directx files?Have you tried reinstalling the game?Maybe doing a scandisk and defragmenting may help somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinger Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hi Andrew, Yes, yes and yes. I have an 80meg drive with about 30 on it, defragged 3/7/04, 9.0b on the directx. I have reloaded the game 4 or 5 times from two different sets of discs, i took the first set back and exchanged at best buy. I just can't figure this one out. Even the guys in the UK haven't been able to come up with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Maybe a thread at The Gathering website may help in the tech support forum.http://www.gathering.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=65&sid=5034b3ef38c9f445103e729ecdd44c61or this thread sounds close to yours:http://www.gathering.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18915ORhttp://www.gathering.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19878did you patch the game before trying to run it?

Dinger Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 yes, 1.3. Ok, i'll try the other threads, thanks and good luckDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbenn Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I said this somewhere else so I hope I'm not boring anyone, but I had a similar problem which disappeared as soon as I turned off (and eventually uninstalled) ZoneAlarm. Never figured out why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinger Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Nope, that was it. I switched back to 4.5.2.3 version and the game runs great, in fact I'm still playing, forgot about sleep! LOL ::) ::) ;D ;DDinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi, my first post here, but I have long admired the Terminal for map downloads.As to the question, I think the interface was harder for me because of having to un-learn RT2. If I had started fresh with RT3, I think it would have been pretty easy to pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Playing RRT3 was a big disappointment.Last week I finally uninstalled RRT3, to go back to RRT2.If I want to see trains in real 3D I use MSTS (or walk to the RR-station).Having a nice time playing a simulationgame will be RRT2 again.No more frustrated evenings ! No more RRT3 >:(Ren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwizz Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I've played some RRT2 lately. Some RRT3 and some TranzI think the coming patch will make a big difference for RRT3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
