NOTE:
We are not responsible for lost downloads of our
software so PLEASE back up your downloads
on a cd or thumb drive or some other media. Having
to repurchase the software is a costly lesson
to learn.
Welcome to our Run 8 Overview page. Here
we will walk you through the installation and
registration process and also show you where you can find help on how to have some fun with AI in
Run 8. We won't lie to you, Run8
is a technical simulation that features accurate
physics and operations on a wide range of levels
and the learning curve is somewhat steep at first.
With that said though, if you are willing to learn
we are here and willing to help you.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING INSTALLATION: Starting
the installers, updates, and also Run8 Train Simulator v2 for the first time in Windows 7 or newer.
When
starting up one of our installers, updates, and then Run8 v2 the first time as administrator this screen may come up from Windows saying that it prevented a unreconized app from starting. DO NOT PRESS OK. Select More info instead. |
After selecting more info
this message will come up and then select Run anyway.

Downloading
and Installing the Program and Updates: When
you recieve our email with the download link you
may need to disable any popup blocker programs
you are running and you may also have to disable
your antivirus software as many antivirus programs
do not recognize some of the new file formats
we had to create for the Run8 program. You can
turn these back on after you get everything setup.
Also if the link does not work it may be because
your email program has it's security settings
set to high and is blocking or changing the URL
link that we sent you.
Before
you start up the Run8 program: Please read the instructions located here. The default pathway
looks like this in Windows7 or newer;
Computer
> C: > Run8Studios
> Run8 Train Simulator V2 > Redistributables > Instructions.pdf
We also included a lot of helpful documentation: So please read the user guides located here. The default pathway
looks like this in Windows7 or newer;
Computer
> C: > Run8Studios
> Run8 Train Simulator V2 > UserGuide
IMPORTANT:
Due to the multi-player features in Run 8 some
users may have to run the program as "Administrator".
Okay,
if you followed all of the instructions listed
at the locations above and installed the latest updates from our Updates Page then we
are ready to start Run 8 and license it. After you purchased the program and we approved the transaction we sent you a email with a Purchase Transaction ID in it. Please save or back up that email in a safe place if you need it again in the future. So with the Purchase Transaction ID handy start Run8 and select a extra board location say in Barstow and then select launch to start the sim. Once the world loads up hit the F1 key to open the options menu and look for the License tab shown below and enter your Transaction ID. You MUST be on the internet to do this.
