Crash files? Should have made 2 files automatically after failing, they would be helpful in fixing the problem... Atleast I think that's how that works...

The dump files are NOT created when an assertion fails. If the game creates those, it'll tell you what to do with it.

@GameKirby can you post the version number and commit ID (visible on the lower left corner of the main menu)

Just by reading the error message, it appears to be a problem with the OpenGL drawing engine. For now I suggest you try using a different drawing engine, such as the default software engine.

Actually, this is easily reproduced, just try to build a roller coaster with the openGL drawing engine selected in the options menu.

I was using dev build 65beeee when I recreated this bug.

i did have my render settings to opengl and it still has that problem

I think you misunderstood what I was saying, in order to avoid the problem you'll have to use a different drawing engine (I recommend just using the default software engine) because the problem seems to occur when using the OpenGL drawing engine.

i did misread it, and switching rendering fixed it, thanks!

The opengl render at present cannot handle the ride preview screen that shows when you create a new ride. I suggest not using opengl renderer for now for actual play.

Speaking of that, what exactly is OpenGL for? It seems incredibly glitchy with displaying colors correctly, overall it looks incredibly psychedelic.

I believe the OpenGL renderer was started as a result of the lighting effects - they were too slow when software rendered, so hardware acceleration is needed. But the OpenGL renderer is still slower than the software one for me, at least it was when I last tested it.
