Cannot log into MyTrainz for some reason

Taking into account that electricity on those countries is remarkably cheap...

That's a possibility but the AWS services is worldwide and to provide better performance for customers located in various parts of the world, they have setup datacenters in those locations rather than have all the traffic go to single datacenter in a single location.

The fact that the data is redundant is really what saved us. The datacenter in Bahrain is one of many throughout the world and N3V and Amazon were able to relatively quickly move their operation to another colocated server. If all of the data was housed on a single server without this redundancy, everything that N3V and we have would've gone up in smoke.

TRS22 does work just fine offline. I was able to do what I needed to do for the weekend without needing to log in ...

Surveyor 2.0 might not work offline. (I don't have S2.0) ... But as stated before, the game will work just fine for about 30 days after its most recent contact with N3V servers....

Thanks both for this response. I thought TRS22 needs to validate when it launches by logging on to MyTrainz and, if for any reason it can't, then the game will not launch? But maybe there's another way of playing the game offline for a period before it needs to phone home?

Surveyor 2.0 will work just fine offline, like Surveyor Classic (or Surveyor 1.0), for 30 days without being able to contact the server.
