It's the same thing.

Are you trying to open the park file directly from your save folder in Windows or are you trying to open it from inside ORCT2? Because the former method won't work- you have to put the file into the saves or scenario folder per imlegos' post, and then open ORCT2 and use load saves (for .SV6) or New Game (for .SC6) to open it.

I have no idea- can someone else help?

That's a known bug- it's from the original game, but OpenRCT2 itself, so it will have to wait until all the source code is reverse- engineered.

Make sure to post the report (PLUS THE DUMP FILE) on the project's GitHub page, not here. They'll be able to help you better there. In the mean time, have you tried going into the ObjData folder in the RCT2 (NOT OpenRCT2) and deleting the most recent DAT files (sort by date to find them)? It looks like the issue is with corrupt DAT files for custom rides and scenery, and the fix works for most people.

Did you go into the actual RCT2 folder for rides and scenery itself and delete the most recent DAT files (sort by date to find them)? They have a habit of sticking around even after full uninstalls.

You're welcome!

Use settings when you're setting up the server and game to set the default group to Admin, join the server, and change the default group to whatever you want.

It works 100% most of the time. A few things (such as features labeled OpenRCT2 only when you turn them on on rides) won't work in or will crash RCT2.

The DAT files that would need to be deleted would be the most recent ones. Sort by date to find them. Have you deleted the OpenRCT2 folder in your My Documents folder yet?

Try posting this bug report (make sure to follow the template and provide all information) and the dump file on GitHub- they'll be able to help you much better there.

That's exactly what I'm saying- he's only a consultant and licensing his name for the ride.

Like the Rollercoaster Tycoon name itself for later games, Chris Sawyer is just licensing his name out and providing a consultant role, not designing the ride itself.

I always thought that ride ratings directly affected how many guests got on them, and therefore, impact the game itself...

Try reporting the bug on GitHub and attaching the dump file there. The devs will be able to help you much more there.

Random fact: Despite having over 47,392 customers, Water Rush is not a favorite ride of any guest. At all. Other rides that suffer from this are Buckriders, Ivy Cup, Monkey Madness, and Chris Sawyer's RCT Experience,.

Also, I recommend posting a bug report on GitHub, with a dump file. You can get more help there.

If you were on multiplayer, it will download the custom content needed for that server automatically for you, so you might have custom content anyway. Did you fully uninstall RCT2 (as opposed to ORCT2)? The custom content is stored in RCT2 rather then ORCT2.

Only one issue so far: some areas aren't covered by handymen yet. Other then that, everything seems fine! Also, if we ever need extra slots for rides because we hit the ride limit, there are a bunch of stalls closed due to pathing issues in Reddington Station that we can delete if needed (RedScope53 prefers to keep them, so this is a last resort). Also, calling the next person since Wuis didn't call them yet: Claimed: Queue: @Yimmy , RedScope53, Dan, Philmon11, Broxzier, ziscor, jensj12, WuisMissed: @imlegos , @WobblyRails , @wilburg22

You might want to file a bug report on Github for this. Make sure you attach the dump file generated by the game. Also, did you delete the OpenRCT folder (the one in which all of your saves and settings are stored)? It might be that an issue with a file in there might be causing the problem...

Also, removing myself from the list because I won't have access to a computer for a while: Claimed: - Players: Broxzier, jensj12, UTMAN, ziscor, imlegos Cooldown (2):

@UTMAN Verified it is a new bug with ORCT2 itself, not the park file- installed an older version of ORCT2 and it loads the park fine.

I'm pretty sure that's actually a bug- check Github and the bugs forum- there's been a bunch of crashes reported by people installing new scenery from a variety of sources. To fix, try deleting all new custom scenery and DAT files that were installed on the day you opened that park file.

Delete all the custom rides and scenery DATs that were installed on the day you accessed the server that caused the issue.

You're welcome!
