New forum registrations were denied due to server software updates. This is resolved now.

As @jensj12 says: you can send a PM to me with thenew nickname you would like to have.

I've updated the forum software to the latest version. No major changes are included. However, the theme has been updated as well. The theme still needs some tweaking to make it look like before the update.

The referral link came from the time when these forums weren't official, and I needed to pay for the Windows code signing certificate in order to sign the (unofficial) Windows builds. I never profited from it. However, I fully agree that it should've been removed earlier.

This has been requested before: https://github.com/JarnoVgr/OpenRCT2.org/pull/18 I'll make work of it. Edit: Removed

Done!

As @janisozaur stated on reddit: Now that we are done with core of the game, we will try releasing it a little more frequently, until now it's taken us roughly half a year to do a release. Due to that, there will be fewer new features each time, but they will reach broader audience quicker. We also hope to improve our release process, as it is not very sustainable. Highlights this time include: Greatly improved RCT1 import (huge thanks to /u/gymnasiast90) Cut-away view (thanks /u/zaxcav) Remember the LightFX stuff? It's been made available in builds we provide, but it is still a bit broken. (/u/QuiteSomeBiscuit we would appreciate your help with getting it back to shape). There are many things improved, for a changelog of this version please see linked release page or check the full document: changelog.txt. We would like to thank all contributors, testers and players of OpenRCT2 and wish you a happy time playing it. Download: https://openrct2.org/downloads/master/latest

We've decided to welcome @Broxzier to the moderator team. He's a mature player and very helpful towards the community, thus we're sure he's a great addition.

Hurec updated his opening post with build 233a304

The spam is getting worse again. I'm currently on holidays. When I get back later this week I'll improve the anti-spam measures.

These forums aren't the place for server and group e-drama. People should find out themselves who they like to play with, and who not.

If we would ban such characters, they will most likely switch to something else, which is harder to detect.

I'm not sure what went wrong with the anti-spam settings. I've hardened the anti-spam measures again, but it also means new players/people can't see their post immediately, which is a bad thing in my opinion.

It's the cache which I tried to clear but didn't work out as expected. Guess we'll have to wait for a new reply in those forums.

I had these kind of spammers before on a different board. After the same anti-spam measurements as these it stopped after a short while.

Unfortunately the forum index cache seems to be invalid now until new posts are made in relevant forums (or until I find a way to force a new cache). The actual posts are indeed deleted and not new posts.

As you may have noticed we've been getting a lot of Chinese spam the last couple of days. The spammers bypass the CAPTCHA and have realistic looking email addresses. Starting from today all new members need at least 1 approved post before their content shows. Plus we've hardened our other anti-spam measurements. Thanks.

It were clearly false-positives. I've checked the build mentioned in the opening post and it's clean: https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/0f1c068182f90c52f4833a5223efaa35c0da4de0b6115d00a5307f19ba4db203/analysis/1473577721/ The names of the AVs that reported the false-positives are not big brands in the AV world anyways.

The launcher has a vc_redist.exe file which you should execute. This will most likely install the missing DLL.

If you would like to change your nickname you can send a private message to me. If you want to get your account removed, please confirm.

Edited your post to clarify it more.

Take care!

Hi folks! I want to replace the RCT2 screenshot on the website ( https://openrct2.org/ ) with something more interesting. I'm considering a looping muted video featuring the main changes compared to RCT2. Thoughts on that? Or do you guys have a better ideas?

Well, the dots do serve a purpose in my opinion. If you're asking a question and get several answers, the dots might be an indication if the answer is from a regular player or a newbie (and thus might be wrong). Thoughts?
