Installing using RCT2 Steam Files?

[PaperPlayerX]

The site mentions that RCT2 can be bought on Steam (which I did a long time ago), but how do I get OpenRCT2 to use the Steam version's files? Does that even work?

You'll just have to install the game from steam first, then run it once, and you cna use OpenRCT2 from then.

If you want to run just OpenRCT2, and want to remove the unused files from your hard drive, you could copy the files you need to the OpenRCT2 folder that are listed here: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Required-RCT2-files And then uninstall RCT2 game from Steam.

I ran the Steam version once, then tried to use OpenRCT2, but it told me it couldn't find the install directory...so...now what?

EDIT: I selected the Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 folder from steamapps/common. Apparently I didn't wait long enough, but now it's working!

 

Thanks for the help anyways Broxzier!
