Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

The game is 'Magna Grecias'. When the game starts all the players are unassigned - just silhouettes, no portraits - in the stock market view. I noticed two things in the editor which might have caused it: 1) there were 13 possible players added but only 9 names selected in the players pool, and 2) ...

ok guys! after dealing with an annoying computer that hates RT3 (it does) i have 1.06 patch installed! i will continue work tommorow evening. things i plan to add on: ask for 85 cities in 20 years; fix some minor bugs(or not so minor); ask for 40 cities in 10 years; make goods more common; update it...

I don't know if RT2 works on Vista - but I suspect Hawk or someone else around here can answer that! I just tried it on Windows 7 and it popped up the Install menu immediately, so the disc appears to be in good shape. Yes, I'm giving it away, RT2 cost me all of $2 at the store, and shipping can't b...

ok, how should i install RT3 with vista? like: Cd verson, CtC, 1.05, vista fix, and 1.06? or do i need to install it differently? http://hawkdawg.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2131 nvm, it's working now - i don't get one thing though - i installed another 1.05 vista fix(not the one on this sit...

A player is penalized in revenue due to the extravagant percentage of the industrial cost, and even that of building purchases. I usually buy a Post Office at the time I establish a City/Depot. However, when the cost goes from $40K to $40,050K, all mail hauls will be penalized, due to the cost of e...

So I just got back from visiting Houston, and while I was there I made a point of stopping at several Half Price Books locations. (There are 9 in the metro area, and I hit 7). They sell used books, of course, but most stores also have a very interesting selection of used PC games. Sorry, I mean &qu...

I think we need to coordinate a little better. I didn't know you sent him anything. ;-) We don't want to confuse him. i don't need anything other than the vista fix - i have vista now ;-) ok, how should i install RT3 with vista? like: Cd verson, CtC, 1.05, vista fix, and 1.06? or do i need to insta...

I take it you're not too familiar with moving a forum onto another server. Especially with a database reaching almost 100 MB. It's not an easy task, especially if the hosting server isn't set up right for it. Besides, I don't think any of those free site hosting deals allow you to use phpBB forum s...

I understand what you're saying, but it sounds to me like you're having a problem with the game starting with the cd in the drive. That's what the PM was about. Am I misunderstanding you mentioning the spinning cd as you having the cd in the drive? yes, there is a disk. i still run it from a disk. ...

Actually, It's quite possible this site will be shutting down the end of October, so there's no reason to add anything new. Donations have been non-existent and I can't afford the bandwidth and storage fees to keep this site going, much less adding more. Times are bit tough for my wife and I, finan...

Nope! He's not wrong. All files for RT3 are located in the main Railroad Tycoon directory. RT3 does not install files anywhere else. That PM I sent you should help. ok, i'll be back in an hour or two. i'll be playing a game for now, i'll try it after, and thanks for all your kind help. i really nev...

no . . . . . i did not know about multi installs, where is it? I thought I had already posted the link to that thread in another post to you. Anyway, here it is again. http://hawkdawg.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2363 anyway, that won't help now, i don't think so anyway. i can't run the game ...

thats . . . . disturbing. that means that my disk is messed up. i'll need to get another game in that case . . . . i hope you're wrong.

ok, what happens is that the little spinning CD curser pops up, and i can't click on anything, and it doesn't do anything. Sounds like you're still running the exe that requires the cd to be in the drive. As soon as I finish this post, I'll send you a PM. it seemed quite small though - 2 MB The 1.0...

First off, you should be doing multiple installs. 1.06 isn't a patch per se; it is more of a mod. The 1.05 patch contains only one file, the RT3.exe file. Nothing else. Your problem is directly related to 1.06. Not sure what it is, but start off by installing to 1.04 (CTC) and then copying everythi...

There once was a Railroads section, but it was removed because of its lack of use. http://hawkdawg.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=2739&p=26597&hilit=meier#p26597 that was years ago. i am new and see a community of hardworking train guys almost quiting because they are out of ideas. i a...

If you're running Vista or Win 7, are you installing somewhere outside of the Program Files(86) or the Program Files directories? i have xp - and it's installed in the program files folder in the RT3 folder - i know computers quite well - and this baffles even me - i have seen nothing like this fro...

Saying "it won't work" doesn't give us much to go on as far as diagnosing the problem. What happens when you start the game (double clicking on RT3.EXE)? Does anything appear on the screen? Do you get any error messages? What do the log files in the Data/Log folder say? What OS are you us...
