Re: New install and patch 1.04 now cannot save

Hello readers,
I don't know what went wrong but, this morning I deleted the 104 folder and reinstalled it along with the 104 patch and it works just fine and I can save files.
Seems there still a few gremlins in Windows even version 10.

Re: Weird to me RT3 no go

Hello RulerofRails, It's getting too confusing for me. Although I have a version 1.06 as it says on the RT3 screen it still flashes the screen four or five times before showing the menu. But it works fine after that as far as I can tell. I'm not happy with it though so will attempt to reinstall from...

Re: Weird to me RT3 no go

Hello RulerofRails,
I feel stupid.
The 1.05 file on running it is in fact Coast to Coast Version 1.06.
Must be the tablets.

Re: Weird to me RT3 no go

Hello, Yes you did read correctly. It's puzzling me. Nothing changed. No settings on the program changed. One day working fine, next day poof. I have done what you suggest about copying 1.05 and then installing 1.06. But no luck. Just done it again to confirm. Created a directory called RT3 1.06 tes...

Weird to me RT3 no go

Hello readers, Playing RT3 with 1.06 a few days ago when part graphics of the game went peculiar. I viewed the Overview then the Cargo Supply and got white frothy ground with no cargo supply. Reloaded the game and still the same. Did maintenance on the computer and still the same. No problem re-inst...

Re: East Anglia v1a No iron

Thank you Gumboots for the reply.
It ties in with my thoughts. Have reach 1860 and as you mentioned steel has appeared in the north east from a warehouse.
It's just that steel was in the symbols of cargos which made me ask the question.
Thanks again.

East Anglia v1a No iron

Dear readers,
After a few years of playing East Anglia v1a (as v1 crashed on saving) I noticed that there is no iron showing. How do I generate steel without iron?
Also some towns have been misspelt. Colcester should be Colchester. Hadleight should be Hadleigh.
So far I'm enjoying the game.
