Yes, I've tracked down this issue to be caused by the cheat I mentioned. You can see the link in the post above for discussion/investigations.

We'd rather you reported it on github, like so: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/3281 but here is fine as well, we (mostly @Broxzier and I) sometimes raid the forums scouting for issues. Please remember to include the commit (build) that dump was generated with or else we won't be able to use it. Did you have "Show vehicles from other track types" cheat enabled?

@_fog can you still reproduce this issue? If you can, could you please try doing it using this build: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/693vw4qr2oljlb5p/artifacts/artifacts/openrct2.zip

I'm still quite confused by your explanation. Why are you using installer and then extract a zip with those same files? XP is only supported in mingw-built versions, as far as I can tell, so I'm quite surprised it works for you just like that. I have no idea about Windows 2000 compatibility, as far as I know, nobody has tested it. There was recently a bug with the server entries, which I fixed, are you sure it's not simply a matter of that? See https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/pull/3212 Also, the program by default is set to create a data directory in your $HOME, you can change it with --user-data-path=path option.

@prizedcoffeecup I'm quite confused by your explanation. What is it that you achieved and what's the problem with XP?

Having autosaves turned on or clients joining the game increases desync probability as well.

Neither can I.

@dchambersohio @ziscor can you report if this fixed your problem?

https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/3222

You can upload it, we'll take a look.

https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/1860

Should be fixed now (12b3996), can you check?

Thanks. BTW it's fine if you provide such build, but with some unique network version, like 0.0.4-longtrains or some such – just so it won't cause mayhem on someone's server. If you choose to do so, please also provide some ID in version.h so we can track it more easily.

We will merge this eventually, hopefully soon enough, once we fix the problems it may have.

@JordanIsDank can you post your scenario file?

@KKLD @daand12 please don't provide such hacked builds for widely available public downloads. There is a reason for changing the network version and also a reason for not merging that code just yet. It will easily break other people's games and we get a ton of users complaining about such things. There are enough users doing nasty stuff already.

It landed yesterday.

I had a look at http://www.jumpjet.info/Classic-Games/Windows/RCT2/UCES/Expansion.htm, which apparently is the download site of UCES and the installer is a self-extracting archive. zipped again for download… anyway, you can simply extract it with any archiver. Just copy contents of /data over to your rct2 path.

what's UCES?

Sorry, but this getting so freakin' annoying you (not you specifically, but so many people) posting about the same issue over and over again. It says clearly: "Unable to find RCT2 installation directory. Please select the directory where you installed RCT2!". Which part do you not understand?

OpenRCT2 does not have any autoupdater in itself, but you can use PPA on dpkg-based system or some other means of staying updated.

Since you need to have debug tools enabled to get the console, you can simply select it from the debug tools dropdown, as a workaround. I'm not sure why the console would refuse input, can you provide your version, OS and locale settings?

Sure. # assuming https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/ is your origin $ git checkout develop $ git reset --hard origin/develop # you can also fetch and checkout (in detached HEAD mode) that specific commit: $ git fetch origin refs/pull/3179/head $ git checkout FETCH_HEAD

I may have spoken too soon, as I have found a way to safely support (i.e. not crash or enter some infinite loop) such modified rides. Can you please check https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/pull/3179
