Has the location for custom rides changed?

[Batchman]

I downloaded a bunch of custom rides (from Amazing Earl and the likes) and installed them a few months ago, but these days when I go in to play, I never seem to find them. By any chance has the proper location for putting custom rides changed? I'd like the chance to use some of these extra rides in sandbox parks!

Custom objects from places other than the object folder the game made for you in documents/openrct2/ are no longer loaded. If the game didn't make that folder for you, you can do it yourself, but I'm not sure what the exact name of that folder should be.

Actually, turned out to be a problem with the Loader. As long as I use the loader to update, then turn around and manually start the game, everything shows up!

It's Documents\OpenRCT2\object.

Is there a difference between the .DAT files and the .json files?

I can't seem to load the files?
