Rick didn't forget it. There will be one.

Does patch 5 contain all of the previous patches as well? or do they need to be downloaded and installed in order?

I am waiting for an answer on that one too. I bought the Gtrax locos during the great Summer Steam sale. But I am guessing we will have to install the patches in order,then keep them in a file so they can be re-installed during an update. OR should we just backup the patched version,and reinstall after updates? I could not find an answer on the Gtrax site.

Looks to me like they all cover different items and/ or locomotives, so we'll probably need them all. If anything is duplicated, Windows will ask "do you want to overwrite this file" anyways.

If we have bought the add on from steam will steam install the updates automatically or do we need to install them for gtrax website.

Thanks

The links on the GTrax website are BETA's only. They're for testing purposes. The actual upgrades (according to the website) will occur automatically via Steam, probably around next weekend.
