Game install not recognised

[StuartVaughan]

So the last week or so I've been using OpenRCT with no problems whatsoever, but the last few days it hasn't been able to recognise my game install therefor I can no longer launch through OpenRCT. I've done all of the basic diagnostics (Fresh OpenRCT install, fresh RCT2 install, restart pc etc.) but none of it has fixed the issue. My normal RCT2 runs when launched via Steam, but it's pretty unplayable due to constant crashes. I can't even load a Save because it just crashes instantly when I click the button.Anything else I can try? Thanks.

Could you try removing the OpenRCT2 directory in your Documents folder? (make sure to copy your Saves folder to another location first)

Huh, well that worked straight away. Didn't even think of trying that, silly me. Cheers.

I had the same problem. Thanks for the easy fix. I did notice that when I tried to change the path in the launcher, it kept saving a blank location in config.ini

Yeah I tried the same. I'm not sure if its what caused the issue in the first place, but I found that changing any of the settings within the OpenRCT2 Launcher screws it up. I tried to uncap my FPS & enable construction while game is paused for example, choosing one of those options created the same issue I originally had.

Yeah the OpenRCT2 Launcher settings stuff has been known to break some stuff, but we're never sure what breaks it :p

From what has been posted here it only seems to happen when you change a setting while having the game running? I'm not sure, haven't had any issues myself.
