Amazon RCT2?

[thenewcoolkid]

I bought the game off of Amazon, and got a download link for rct2. After trying to install OpenRCT2 for about 20 minutes, I started watching tutorials on Youtube, which didn't help, as the program would not be able to detect it, even after reading the 'README.txt' and naming files different things as a way to trick the program into thinking I bought it off of steam didn't work, is there any way to Install with the Amazon download link? Thanks in advanced!

What is the exact error message you got? Can’t find g1.dat? In the case, install RCT2 and, if you installed it in a standard location, it should be detected automatically. If it’s not detected automatically, select the folder you installed it in, that folder should contain a ‘data’ folder with g1.dat inside.

Ok, thank you! The amazon version does not have a data folder, but it has 2 data folders, named data1 and data2. so I will rename those files to see if that helps.

edit: didn't work, which was probably expected.

edit 2: I forgot to install, whoops sorry
