As far as I know, yes. I did not opt to pay the shipping costs to get one so I have not used it. I do remember that there was much discussion in the Pioneer Council & TEG private forum over this issue and the compromise seemed to have been that users wanting a DRM free version could get it directly from N3V by paying the shipping cost to get it. As a Mod, you should still have access to that forum if you want to research it. The forum still exists but is hidden from most users.Wait... they did?
That means... I should have that somewhere in this pile of unopened cargo boxes that I haven't touched since we switched homes.
Can that be patched / updated to the latest version, still without turning into a DRM / "have to call home" version?
Here is a post from DAP from a thread he started in the PC & TEG forum.
That would seem to me that the boxed versions from N3V did have a product key that needed to be registered. It also seemed to have a "disable online features" toggle as well based upon a response from Shaneturner. So an unregistered collector's edition should be able to work with or without Internet access. (after registering the serial number)I am a bit frustrated with my latest installation of TANE. I have had several of the early builds working on my computer, but then life got in the way of Trainz and I have not had a chance to do much with it for the past 8 months. I am finally getting around to installing my Collector’s Edition I got for participation in Kickstarter funding.
I do a search for a specific asset and it shows up as Available for Download. I highlight it, right click and select download, and get the following:
Unable to search asset <kuid2:56063:101110:4>. Unable to contact server.
This happens for every asset I have tried to download. I have done Rebuild Database. My internet connection is solid. I have registered my product key. I’m not sure what the problem could be or how to fix it. Any suggestions would be welcome.
