Octagon Park requires 10 different roller coasters to be built with a minimum length of 1200m. I've done this and after several minutes the scenario still doesn't complete. I have this with a previous similar scenario but can't find that post, that one was Volcania (if I remember right). There is no time limit, guess number, or park rating, just 10 coasters greater than 1200m length. Octagon Park -- Extreme.park

If I understand you right, then all it means is you don't need to research anything progressively, thereby saving money. But if you still don't want everything unlocked, then once you start that scenario as a game, have cheats enabled, and and open the "research" item in the cheats pull-down menu. You can then choose what is researched and what isn't. As far as I know, that'd be the only way to do it without making an entirely new scenario. I hope this helps.

I also find GitHub confusing. I suspect that those that use it frequently will be rolling their eyes saying things like "it's right there" "how can you not see it" etc. But since the launcher itself is independent of OpenRCT2 project, it's often an issue. It's a pity there appears to be no way to contact the dev of the launcher either. I'm currently having exactly the same issue. The launcher isn't updating the game, and when I followed the links for the latest dev version, I couldn't work out what to click either. Plus, when I tried to open my current save directly I got an error message telling me it contains "invalid data", same message for three different saves prior, but not the older ones than that.

If you have a save or auto save from prior to the incident, then you should be ok. I'm not a coder or dev or anything even close, but my guess would be that this issue wouldn't effect save files other than if the balance is negative, that's the state it got saved in unfortunately. If that's the case, then I'd suggest enabling cheats, add money to get you playable again, then you're good to go. Just because you have cheats enabled, doesn't mean you have to use them. :)

I've been having a similar issue for the past week or so. I hadn't been able to catch what's triggering it though. I'd do something and notice the balance had gone negative by a similar amount to what it had been positive. Because I have cheats unlocked, I just add money. But it's still something that hopefully can be addressed. It's still happening as os last night (my time).

Thanks jensj12 for the suggestions. It was a hard call for me to make Deleting all that stuff, but a fresh install does appear to have worked. Some unexpected differences with the install now though. The scenery objects window now has an infinity symbol tab on the far right, looks like it's got all items in it regardless of any other tabs. Couple of other very minor things, but all in all the game works. And that's the main thing.

Thanks, I haven't tried that extreme yet, but I'm pretty much there now, so I'll see how that goes. Something I think I've failed to mention is that if I try launching directly from a saved game, it immediately goes to a BLACK not just blank screen, with the frame rate showing (I have that turned on in the options). Then it crashes. Doesn't matter if it's an auto save or a regular one.

I renamed the plugin folder so it wouldn't load them (I assume). Did an update but still crashing almost as soon as it starts to load giving the same message it has all along, only now I guess it's successfully uploading data to GitHub.

I honestly didn't understand much of what is listed there. The only add-ons / plug-ins I have are Benchwarmer, Price Manager, and Cheat Saver. No I hadn't tried that, and I can't remember how or where I got those from. I'll do some more investigating. Thanks for the suggestions. It wouldn't surprise me that it's not an issue with the game itself, it's been very stable until the past couple of weeks.

I am now certain it's not the launchers, as I haven't been using one and have been downloading the latest development build each day. Game crashes a few seconds into launch and gives me the option to send data to GitHub (which I do). For me, the game has been unplayable for nearly a week now. I don't know what the hell is going on, it's gotten very frustrating.

A bit too frequently now, when the game updates via the launcher it crashes, and a report goes to GitHub. I don't know what goes on from there, as nothing more is heard. I don't know if it's the launcher, windows, or a game bug. But it is happening atleast once or twice per week now. The only way I can find to "fix" the problem is to keep downloading and re-installing whatever version is latest from the site. I have tried to use two different launchers, one has worked great most of the time, as for the other, it appears to support two different games, and I (probably me being dumb) can't get it configured to try using it.

Have heard nothing since reporting this. So I can only assume that it's a "me" problem.

Volcania -- Completed all five coasters, all well above 6.7 excitement and the scenario won't complete. Any thought ? Volcania -- Extreme.park

Thanks for the information and suggestions both of you. I have no idea what it was that I did, but after trying loading from saved games, bypassing the launcher, loading autosaves. Something seems to have gone right. Things are working as they should. The help is / was appreciated. Pity to hear about Gymansiast, but things change, and we move on. :)

I've been unable to run OpenRCT2 whether from the launcher, or an autosave, or a save game. I have no idea if this is a windows 11 thing, or an OpenRCT2 thing. I have tried disabling anti-virus, and other intrusion s/w. I have made sure the game has access through the firewall. I have deleted and reinstalled the game. It updates fine, it's just that when I try to launch it, it pops the messages. when I try a saved game all I get is a BLACK screen, if I try an autosave I get a WHITE screen. It doesn't matter if the game is set for windowed or full screen. I have even gone so far as to create a GitHub account. The message box isn't clear (to me) how or where to upload the crash data it generates. This issue has gone from being an intermittent and annoying thing, to not allowing me access to the game. Please could a Dev or influential person let me know how I can get the requested files to whoever can help. The fact that I'm in Australia makes it difficult to get a quick turn around on any responses, since probably most here are either in Europe, UK, or US.

For the past couple of weeks, this hasn't been the case for me. I've been getting this myself at least a couple of times a day, and if I let it try and automatically send the report, it just tells me that it couldn't complete. Claiming that I may have an older build that isn't logged anymore (or something similar). It happens two or three times in a row, then all is fine. I then get told I can submit a report manually, but I suspect you'd need a GitHub log in for that (which I don't have). Windows wouldn't let me take a screenshot as it's "wheel" was still spinning, so I had to use my digital camera for these pics.

Hmm, that's interesting, I'm actually finding it quite the opposite.

I do realise this, but this has only been a thing for the last few months, well after the new save format (used as a timeline measure). I had commented on this quite a while ago, and no responses, and it does occur without having all scenery options selected. Obviously it's not a major thing, but it makes finding scenery that much harder as the "?" tab has a huge amount of items in it, including items that were previously in other groups. Even not selecting custom scenery makes no difference. In my experiences even the basic, default bench and bin have been moved to the "?" tab, and not still in the "Objects For Paths" tab. Things seem to have gotten very jumbled at some point. This is why I have asked if there is a way for any player to move items from one group to another without breaking things.

Gday, Yes, this has unfortunately been a thing for a while now. The objects you're looking for probably aren't missing. I've found that scenery groups are messed up, and that objects missing from groups are almost always in the one with the question mark. This has made finding stuff a right royal pain in the backside. It's not a thing with any of the game's scenarios though, they all appear to have the correct items in the correct groups. In my own posts about it, I've asked if there is a (tedious or easy) to fix this, maybe by renaming individual items or something like that. But so far I've seen no responses from anybody about it. As far as I know, this has been a thing with custom scenarios for several months now. I know this doesn't help you with the problem, but at the very least you know you're not alone.

Today I found the message kept appearing, so I checked for updates on the plug-ins I use, and updated them all anyway. Looks like you were right, as after re-grabbing Benchwarmer the message has stopped. Even though that one hasn't been updated since mid last year. Obviously it had gotten corrupted. Things look to be fine currently. :)

Yes, I did try that, and the standard procedure of adding one at a time to see what happens. It's only been with the current park. I even considered if it might be something with custom scenery/rides, but I'm just using what is set for the particular scenario. In this case it's Gentle Glen. I'll keep trying different things if it still a thing today, and also after the next update.

Gday All, This has only been a thing as of today. Every 10 or so seconds I get an error message pop up. It doesn't appear to have any effect on gameplay. As far as I can tell it's not related to any of the mods I'm using -- Bench Warmer, Cheat Saver, Price Manager. Here's my current version -- OpenRCT2, v0.4.3-82-gd1ab1da (d1ab1da on develop) provided by GitHub Just thought I'd mention it, in case it's significant. Because this type of text is so small, and I can't find how to make it bigger, I had to take my glasses off and almost put my nose on the screen to read it.

As of .... just now .... new update, all good. Thanks peoples, you rock.

I literally just updated again, but it's still doing the same thing. <sigh> Guess no RCT tonight (my time) then.

As I don't have a Github account, I'm putting this file here. Game crashes on loading so I have no details of the version other than what's in this file, sorry. Hopefully the next time the game updates it'd all be fine again. da30f2d7-079e-41dc-90a5-3d991c62323f(0baacb2_x86-64).dmp.zip
