About

I do like the for being able to build and run your own railway. In that it is rather fun. Ultimatley tough it is a rather bad and frustrating if you want to make things realistic. On no map so far was I able to link up all industry when trying to stay with a gradient or curves that would be manageable by trains. Some industry on the map even require ridicoules gradients right after the loading area. I was looking at the prelaid maps to see if was just not able to find the right way, but they laid the tracks just as ridiculous as the maps suggested, leaving me with crazy bridge systems just to get to a logging camp. This really shows that the developers are most likely not having a clue in regards of realism. Further it seems this was abandoned at version 1 and only serves as a huge hint for me: No more from this developer.
I am VERY disappointed. This is a great game and it never gave me issues before, but now with the latest update put out it does NOT allow me to play it, it doesn't even allow the game to load up for me. I have a 3060ti GPU and i just went to play and it gave me the "A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine." message, so, at this point in time I completely wasted my money. IDK if I am doing something wrong or not, but i tried everything and it won't work for me. Last time I tried playing it with the newest major update that added the pre-layed tracks and everything, it worked great. I am off of work today so I just decided I wanted to play a relaxing game, so, I chose to load up Railroads Online, and... that's the message that I got. I bought the game a few years ago, so it's not like I can even get my money back, but, I am going to try since this is not my fault at all. Don't get me wrong, it's an AWESOME game, but if you're planning on buying it, just do your research beforehand and make sure it'll load up/work with your GPU.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It feels too monotonous. Without an automated job list, or AI helpers, there is too much "work" for a single player to do on their own in a reasonable amount of time. I made $120 in one job. The next locomotive costs $2000. Doing the same thing 17 times is not fun.
This game needs beter optimization
never get this game
super glichy
only game on my mid to high level gaming pc that seems to be unplayable... wont even get to main menu without crashing, and if im lucky enough to get to the main menu, it wont make it past the loading screen into a game before crashing. was playable many many many updates ago, i think before they started adding new maps.
Eh... not really. kbyethx
This is just so much jank. Everything is just passable, things that are simple QOL are just not there. Can't close the map with Esc, you MUST use M. Hit Tab? Can't leave with Tab, you MUST use Esc. Want to move a car? Move one at a time and exit from the moving tool between each. This is so janky and bad. All the systems are messed up and just so broken at a basic level.
