DS problems and questions on 2009

[garoto]

DS. I have a brand new just (yesterday) activated 90 days First Class Ticket, the ninth in about 4 years ( had 20004 and now I'm in 2006). Am I still subject to limitations like the nice orange bar saying..." unable to download, server seems to be full, please try again later"...?
Why does a download that started in a fair speed like 30 kbps has the speed falling to zero, and then doesn't continue at all due to the nice orange bar message?
My specs Intell Dual core 1.8 3 gb RAM DSL 5mbps (if I'm not confusing the letters) working absolutely fine.

2009. If I preorder today, say now, shall I already download beta 2?
Having paid for a download version, shall I have any right to discount if in the future I decide to buy a boxed version?
Except for some promotion pics that say very little, I don't see anywhere photos of films of the real thing working. In short, is it good?

If your first class ticket has kicked in and it looks as if it has it's more likely to be Internet problems than anything else. Others including myself are downloading off the servers with FCT without any problems other than Auran's normal minor problems with the servers.

TRS2009 looks good, not 100% perfect, but few undocumented system features than previously releases and with your dual core processor you hould see a definite improvement with the frame rates on top of the Video card improvements.

I'd go download, saves on postage, then burn your own copy of the DVD.

Problems with DS continue, but I guess in one or two days will be OK.

GOOD, let's go forth, I purchased 2009, I believe in the stuff so now let's see...
I received 2 e-mails. In the first there is a link to download the game
...1 x Trainz Simulator 2009: World Builder Edition that doesn't work saying....Error!! invalid download... Good! Maybe it's too early and I have to wait for a few hours more.

But then came another e-mail with explanations on the beta testing status and there I have this strange text

"BETA INSTRUCTIONS

Serial Number
In order to participate in this Beta you will need to add the serial number below to your Planet Auran Profile.

Beta Serial Number:"......????

Nothing, no serial number. Am I supposed to wait for another e-mail with the serial number?

Then in the same e-mail I have another interesting text...

...Time Limit
Beta 1 is enabled until the end of November. By that time we expect the Gold Master version will be complete and you can then purchase a new serial number and download the full retail version.

Will I have to pay again for the game in about 10 days when it comes gold?

Can someone help? Auran people???

Check your PM.

No you won't have to purchase a new serial - looks like QA missed that one.

Thanks Tony. Got the key at PM. If I'm right i should't register it yet in my profile, since I'll get a unique one soon, right?

If you're talking about the serial number that starts with BETA, yes, register it...
