Re: Automation FAQ - Updated 12/4/12

Hi Dani,
you will need to update the game several times (I think it was more often than three times) to get the most recent game build. The build number is shown in the top bar of the launcher window. As long as this number is increasing with every update, everything is fine and you should keep on updating until you reach game build 109. Then you can start playing.

This is exactly the game I've wished I could play ever since Gearhead Garage. Keep up the awesome work!

Nothing is on Steam as yet and may not ever be. But we'll work out what we are going to do about non-steam versions if and when we do get on Steam (wouldn't be until the full game was done)

1) Your Caps-Lock key is stuck... that could be an issue.
2) There is a support forum for these questions.
3) What error message do you get?

Try turning off the wi-fi! Then it'll come up with some pop-up. When you click on 'Yes' it will start up! It works for me :D

Re: Automation FAQ - Updated 12/4/12

On the released game can you compete against other 'made-up' car manurfacturers or is the game solely building a successful automotive business? :?

Re: Automation FAQ - Updated 12/4/12

How are those two things exclusive to each other? Yes it is "just" about running a successful car company, with everything that is part of it, like competing against other manufacturers of course!

Re: Automation FAQ - Updated 12/4/12

May I ask what's the latest status on delivery of the full game for pre-orders? I've play a lot with the engine configurations and am most anxious to start designing the cars themselves. Thank you.

I prefer the term "petrolhead" or "gearhead". It's what I am, but, I had little to no choice because my dad was a mechanic and engineer. I have never taken any car I have owned to a garage, unless I was feeling lazy.
