When I try to install from the disk I get a message saying the install can't run on a 64 bit system.
How can I install RRT2 on Windows 7 64 bit?

Thanks. Now another question.

Is there a way to change your user name?

It seemed to indicate you had to put your current password in to change your password or user name. I did that expecting it to unprotect the user name, but that didn't happen.

I've been a member since 2007 but an infrequent visitor. I need to change my email address from when I originally registered and would like to change my password. How do you get to your profile to do this? Am I overlooking something obvious?

I was using a territory value. It doesn't seem to work with them nor player variable 2, 3, 4. It works fine with all the game and company variables. I wonder if it is some bug in the program since PV 2, 3, 4 and TV 1, 2, 3, 4 follow each other on the list of variables.

I'm trying to create a status page that shows various cities connected/unconnected. I am using game anh player variables to keep track of that. In setting up the status page I can input my text and use the square brackets []to select my variable (player variable 1, etc) but can't figure out how to g...

I ended up not having to reinstall. See my reply in RRT3 Crashing thread to desktop for the rather odd explaination.

I discovered the issue. It seems odd. I'll try to explain it. I installed RRT2 in October and it created a rather odd directory set up for it. The last time I played RRT3 was prior to that installation of RRT2. After several various attempts to get RRT3 working I thought that maybe the config file m...

Looks like I'm going to have to reinstall RRT3. I have the 1.0 disk, 1.03 upgrade, 1.04 beta patch, CTC, 1.05 patch and the Vista fix. After installing the 1.0 disk and the 1.03 upgrade, I'm unsure of the proper order for the rest. Is it 1. CTC, 1.04b, Vista fix, 1.05 or 2. 1.04b, CTC, Vista fix, 1.05

OS Vista Home Premium, 32 bit. RRT3 patched to 1.05. Vista fix installed. No significant system upgrades since last played. I have been playing the game in this configuation for years but haven't played it for a few months. Today I tried to start it up. The main menu opened up, then the game crashed...

A little warning on margin calls. Some of you may already be aware of this, but I was not. In one scenario, I was desparately fighting off margin calls late in the game. At this point I had sold off all the stock in my other companies, so all I could do was to have the company buy back stock. The ma...

I just completed the campaign scenarios on hard. I got gold on all but 3 scenarios - silver on 2 bronze on 1. The 3 I did not get gold on involved reaching a PNW amount. In all 3 scenarios I was pretty much on my way to achieving the PNW amount except with 2 years or less to go in each one the the e...

Never mind. It is working OK. I saw my money drop after placing a staion instead of increasing. What I failed to make note of is that it was a $100k bonus and I placed a $200k station. Did this several times. Another time I must have placed the station right before the end of a month or quarter when...

So based on the scenario goals, it seems that the gold event needs to be modified to check against the onscreen player only, but check for the highest PNW of all players.

So it looks like it checks the gold conditions every year. So what the heck is "in class"? I looked at the events and noticed that the siler and bronze are checked only if the year = 1896. Based on that, when I continued, I would have expected to see the silver message at the end of 1896 u...

I've played through the 3rd Republic campaign scenario twice. The briefing says I have until 1896. Both times in 1886 it ended with awarding me gold. In both cases by 1886 I had easily met the industry profits and company book value goals, but did not have the highest net worth. The second time I de...

Is there a way to set the screen resolution for the game? With 1.04 the screen resolution stayed the same as my defined Windows resolution. When I installed 1.05, the reolution went to a larger and less clear resolution.

Ever since I upgraded to the 1.05 patch, I am not getting credit for the city bonuses - the ones that pop up and state $$$$$$$ offered for the first railroad to connect to xxxxxx. Prior to the 1.05 install, the bonuses were credited as soon as the connection was made.

I recently installed the 1.05 patch and am noticing some game differences. I can't seem to find any information on what changes the 1.05 patch made. One example seems to be when a commodity produced by an industry is in oversupply, the industry stops producing the product. I had a lumber mill that w...

Thanks, Silverback for all your feedback. Here's what I finnally found. Hauling the rubber to the tire factory/auto plant station, then hauling the tires to a maintenance station I set up outside the radius of the tire factory/auto plant station, then hauling the tires back to the tire factory/auto ...

Thanks, Silverback. I thought maybe because the steel and tires were arriving at different times and the steel was coming from a loooong way away that maybe the tires were "expiring" by the time the steel got there. I did something similar to what you described. I set up a station outside ...
