Issues fixed

Low Memory Crash

The game executable has a hard coded memory limit of 1 GB, with large maps this can causes poor performance and crashes. As most systems have significantly more RAM in them, it is possible to expand that limit to utilize all available memory.

Download this executable and replace the RailRoads.exe file in the installation folder.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/7600/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (7600) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
