I have been playing this game since 2005. Very fun to play and mod. Learning to make your own vehicles is easy once you get the hang of it. There are also online multiplayer servers, I host one myself "thumbsup"

Unfortunatly for now I keep it private as I have a lot of custom mods in it and without the proper files installed on your computer it may cause issues. I have to update my friends that play computers everytime I change something.

May have to try this when I get home. Too bad there's not an Android app for it. Would be better on my tablet.

This game can be very CPU intensive. Not sure it would run well on a tablet. It has lagged with my Core i7 & GTX 580 with the graphics turned up. Worth trying out no matter what you have though, the physics are really good and makes it a fun crawling simulator. I have yet to find another game that simulates crawling as well as this one.

Not sure if it'll lag my PC or not. Built it to handle quite a bit, but that was at the end of 2008. At that time, I built it with an AMD Phenom Black Edition Quad-Core, Radeon 6850 1GB vid card, and 8GB DDR3 RAM. Needs an upgrade on RAM for sure, but has never let me down, especialy running multiple music programs.

I'll try it and see, though.

HAHA airing out the yota!!

Been wanting to play this for a few years now. I have a computer than can handle it finally and downloaded the game. For some reason there are only 3 levels and like 6 vehicles that absolutely blow... I hopped in the semi truck and flipped it because its an onroad vehicle and the only place I have to go is the desert. How the hell do I get me a 700hp buggy that I can jump? lol

hmm.. I must have downloaded the wrong thing. All I have as far as maps are Desert, Desert FPS and simple terrain. For vehicles I have 2 buses, 2 trailers, a dakar 8x8, and a semi...

Download the newest version 38.67 if you don't have it. Also, you have to look closley at the menu to see all the options. above the map selection you should see a menu you can pull down to select the different maps, i keep mine set to "All"

Wiki - This will tell you everything, editing the power and gear ratios of any vehicle is done in notepad.

Yeah.. this is pretty cool.. gets boring pretty quickly though.

This crap has driven me crazy for two days now. It looks cool. Freezes offten, F keys dont wont operate rigs, cranes, or tow trucks. Rigs dont have trailers as shown. Is so far from realistic. I do want to play it, but with all the B.S. factored in it just sucks balls.

 

[Colby]

I downloaded the showtime buggy but its so slow, it freezes everytime i get out of a vehicle and my computer has to be shit down. Gah

I have been playing RoR for a few years and it does take a good graphics card and comp. to run it decent. I didnt have the newest version for a while (as my comp wouldn't run it). I have a few trucks that were earlier version releases (like the FORD Ranger SAS that I have modded to look like my 1:1).
If your not getting the models/trailers/terrains that you want go to this page....

It has all or the DL's that are out. DL them, move the file to appropriate place (trucks/terrains/loads/packs) and then re-open RoR. it should work for you then.
Here's a shot of the Ranger that I have saved....

This is from a earlier version, but the trucks look like my fullsize tow rig and Ranger....

Couldn't get this to work worth a damn on my laptop, but my PC runs it like butter on full settings.

Played a bit last night and it can be fun.....for a bit anyway.

How to you modify the existing vehicles? Wanted to use the Hilux, but didn't want the camper and wanted to add locking diffs. Spent most of my time using the Spidertrax buggies.

This game would hardly run on my poor old iMac, but the new laptop (i5,nvidia GT630M) has no problem running 1920x1080 full screen on near max settings. My favorite vehicles to use are the rock bouncers, heep jk and unimog 406.
