After several hours of attempts, installing 1.06, a no-cd patch, and a reconfigured engine file, I finally got the game to load. Annoying, as I was told the GOG version should work as-is. Ran through the tutorial as a refresher and everything was working fine, even running in 1900x1080 resolution fine. Went to excitedly start New Campaign. Another crash. I am at my wit's end. Why won't this game work properly?

The GOG version has the config file in Data\Configuration\engine.cfg set with the graphics option "Disable Hardware Transformation and Lighting" turned on. This enables the game to run on almost all modern graphics cards. However, the player can sabotage his/her game if they go into the Graphics options and turn that option off. It would be nice to have a warning for this somewhere.

I'm not quite following your process, why on earth use a no-cd patch with a GOG game?

Also, 1.06 is fan-made. Gameplay is affected. Better to play the campaign with the official version just as you downloaded it.

I used the additional patches after the original version of the game would not work, as described. "Disable Hardware (etc.)" is and has been turned on the entire time. The campaign still won't load. Very disappointed in GOG, this is the third game on two different machines I've had fail despite being advertised as functional.

I am experiencing a lot of crashes as well. I can play the game, but every 30 minutes or so, the game crashes. Nothing but the gog version is installed. It makes the game unplayable. It didn't crash at all the first 30 hours or so when I played, but now it's crashing all the time. Any ideas?

I found the game to be very stable 'till today under windows 10. I enabled autosave which at least means I will not lose too much when it dows crash, but it seems to be a recent windows update that causes problems. I'd be grateful of anyone has ideas how to make it stable again.

[edit] I should say I am talking about RT2 - suspect the otehr posts in this threar are abot RT3

I'm currently playing RT2. Want to finish the campaign, then move on to 3.
Trying to not scroll too much when creating a station seems to help in those situations. I tend to crash when I want to build a station somewhere. Maybe a coincidence.

I've had no crashes after reducing the graphics settings to default.
