Where do I get the activation key for this game? I bought it via the app and now it is asking for an activation key which I was not sent

[Yvonne Evans]

Never mind figured it out

Railroads won't install…. have installed it 4 or 5 times… did the disk repair, etc…. shut it down…. I keep getting the error message. HELP!

What error messages are you getting?

[Glenn Hefferan]

A problem occurred while installing the game. Please try downloading the game again.

If this problem persists, you may need to quit Mac Game Store and restart your Macintosh before trying again.

And I've installed it 5 or 6 times now….did the restart, Disk Verify, etc….

Is there an install error number?

Another question. Are you the main admin user on your Mac?

Usually the install errors deal with a permissions issue. For example, when you create a folder in your Applications folder, does it ask you for a password? This could potentially be the problem.

[Glenn Hefferan]

I am the main admin… and all installs require a password, which only I know…. there is no install error number…. and for what its worth…. I installed other games with no issue.

Multiplay is a mystery. Railroads! won't show up in GameRanger.. looked at all of the FAQ's. Very frustrating!

Has GameRanger updated to support it yet? Sometimes scott has to custom script in the multiplayer launch code for certain games if the game didnt use his api.

I've the exact same problem here (http://prntscr.com/j6jmj). Already fixed permissions and followed every step support ask me to. And I've also installed other games without any problem (http://prntscr.com/j6jok).

Have you tried reinstalling?

[Alejandro Sena]

Yes, several times. When I download it from a slow connection it completes the download but then a download error shows up, and when downloading from a fast connection, it shows the error linked above.

I've just fixed it by asking a friend to download it from the direct link (provided by the support team) and send it to me. Because I wasn't able to download it from that link either.

It looks like you have a very, very bad connection

You need to tell GameRanger where your Railroads! is installed. Just browser under your apps and once you find it GR will find the game.

Hi,

I have 2 MAC's - can I have one license installed in both MAC's?

How do I zoom out more than the little bit that the program seems to allow ? Merci.

Echo this, game is unplayable as is.

Yeah, I noticed that in the demo. I had to do a lot of scrolling around to find anything, and the scrolling is a bit crazy to control. Makes it very difficult to move around and monitor things easily. I did a quick googling, and didn't find any known config file hacks to make zooming out go further
