No problem. Now I've had some time to search, I've linked the corresponding issue on GitHub (#5860).

This has been suggested (on github) quite some time ago. Perhaps it helps to post something in that issue as well. There are recently also complaints that more designs than usual have this issue, and switching away from OpenGL rendering might fix it.

Unless they're in the recycling bin (which I don't expect) are backed up with another automated tool, there's no way to get them back. Autosaves are meant as backup in case of a crash or data corruption. If you want to save a game for later, save normally.

You can try to rename openrct2.exe (or the launcher executable) to rct2.exe and put it in the folder where rct2.exe was. This makes steam open the replaced executable instead. Not sure what other files need to be moved or if there are any conflicts.

Each vehicle is a different ride type that shares the same track type. In the original RCT2, a new vehicle would often be classified as a new ride type with its own build menu button and track designs. In OpenRCT2 they’re simply grouped together more often, allowing you to switch vehicles without rebuilding the entire track (or cheats). For the research speed, it would be nice if you could setup a test scenario and run it in both RCT2 and OpenRCT2 to see if there are any differences. Having such proof greatly increases the chances of a dev looking at it.

I think you’re missing the JSON objects, which should come with OpenRCT2. How did you install OpenRCT2? What do you see at startup?

Using the launcher, you can easily switch between builds. You can probably have two builds installed at the same time, but not with the launcher. If you really want two builds at the same time, I’d recommend using the launcher for develop builds and manually installing the release builds, but switching between them is probably easier. A note on develop builds: they’re usually just as stable as release builds, as they also contain the latest fixes. Any game breaking bugs will only ever be present on develop builds, but they’re usually fixed quite fast and you can always switch back for a day or two.

Pull Request - Fork the code repository on github and make changes to your personal fork. You can request the changes to be pulled to the official code base with a pull request (which includes a discussion topic and some help with auto-merging). For more help, please refer to the OpenRCT2 GitHub under 'contributing' (especially the gitflow workflow) and the GitHub help pages.

Yes. In the options, enable debugging tools. Then in-game, look for the top toolbar button with two cogs and select 'object selection' there.

Have a look at #896, that will answer most of your questions.

This has happened to OpenRCT2 a lot and there’s nothing we can do about it (you can search on the forum). OpenRCT2 should be completely safe if downloaded from here, you can even check the source code on github.

#485 It will come eventually, but it’ll take some time.

You can track the status of the issue I linked. It seems reopening the object selection sometimes helps. You can avoid the issue by temporarily switching to stable builds until it’s fixed.

My bad. There was already a new issue that is still open: #8484 (I thought it was the same as #8414)

Which version of the game are you running? (Lower left corner of the main menu, please specify the exact commit hash) Additionally, try to update the game and check whether it still happens, I believe this was already fixed (it has been reported some time ago).

With some cheating, you can already build inversions with gigs coaster track (first build it and then switch track type). The only thing that’s needed are sprites to draw the inversion (it will just be invisible now) and probably also sprites for the trains. (Not even a new save format!)

You don’t need a trainer to cheat in OpenRCT2. Instead, go to options and enable cheats and debugging tools there. After doing so, you’ll have two extra top toolbar buttons in-game. Click the golden shovel for the cheats window, click+hold to enable hacks like no clearance checks, and click+hold the two cogs for debugging tools like tile inspector and object selection.

It's not just your own scripts that detect it as a virus, many other virusscanners detect it and remove it. In case you don't trust OpenRCT2, you can download the source files from GitHub, check those for viruses manually and build the game yourself, but the easiest way is to tell your AV that OpenRCT2 isn't a virus.

Thanks for reporting. Update your game and it should be fixed. https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/8450

The wiki has an answer: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Required-RCT2-files#rct-classic--rct2-mini-game

Look for hacked rides or rides that got stuck. If a train never gets back to its original station, it will cause the ride rating calculations to stop working in the entire park.

Search around a bit on this forum and you’ll find the answer.

This is not yet possible, but it is planned. Try again in a few years

Seems to be logged on github already: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/7787

If you trust the OpenRCT2 files, select them in that window and click restore (don't restore files you don't know).
