Kickstarter DRM-Free Version
In the Kickstarter campaign, N3V Games offered a "offline" version that would never require going online unless the user wanted to take advantage of any online features.
This version has a check-box shown below . Simply uncheck the box to allow entry of your MyTrainz username and password to allow access to the DLS, multiplayer, chat etc. Note that you should shut down the game after changing your online settings and RESTART in order to enable or disable the online features.
While the box is checked, you will not be able to:
- enter your MyTrainz Username and password
- view any "new" Download Station listings
- download from the DLS (anerror such as; - Unable to search asset <kuid:252271:301>. Unable to contact server. will appear)
- see or participate in multiplayer sessions
- see or participate in Trainz chat
You will be able to check for online updates and installing any game updates will not change your build from the "offline" mode.
