RRT3 on Windows 10 via Steam Unread post

Hello everyone. I'm wondering if there's a way to get RRT3+1.06 patch and mods via the Steam client version? I'd like to do it by downloading it instead of buying another disc if possible. But then again I don't know if RRT3 works on W10 at all. Sorry if I'm missing a previous thread on this. Thanks for any help and have a good day all.

Hi.

As far as I know the Steam version reverts any modifications every time it starts, so I don't think it's possible to run 1.06 or any modifications on the Steam version. I haven't used it myself though, so someone else will probably know more.

You can get RT3 running on W10. That doesn't seem to present any problems. If you do go with the CD version it runs better with the dgVoodoo add-on to fix some graphics bugs, but that's a free download and it's easy to set up.

the GOG.com version (site at https://www.gog.com ) will probably be easier to start with if you need to buy - install outside the program files folder though. Install it via the offline installer download rather tha the GOG galaxy version. I've not tried it with 1.06 but GOG installs are easier to patch than steam installs. Modifying games from steam is not always easy owing to the way steam installs them on your PC.

If I have a choice of installing GOG or steam versions of games I would always go for the GOG version (offline installer not Galaxy).
