In the console window I could see part of an error, saying something about css18.DAT:

Did you start vanilla RCT2 before opening OpenRCT2 at least once?

[MichelBien]

Surely did at least once 😁 Should that help?!

[Broxzier]

Can you try getting a proper view at the error message? You can do it by launching openrct2.exe from command prompt, or using the launcher to save it to a text file, if that works for you. Also try it with --verbose, which should give more information.

[janisozaur]

there's no ms-dos involved here, that system is long gone.

please launch the the game with `--verbose` option and post the log here.

[MichelBien]

How do i select verbose..? What is verbose and where can i Find it??

[Broxzier]

The verbose option from the launcher never worked for me, so here's a way that does work without using the launcher at all.

Open a command prompt window (Start menu, type cmd, press enter)

Browse to the openrct2 folder using cd, for example:

cd Documents\OpenRCT2

Then run the following command:

bin\openrct2.exe --verbose > log.txt 2>&1

This will print all the output to a file called log.txt in the OpenRCT2 folder. Attach this file or paste its content here so we can see where it stops working.

Got it installed again and it works now  is it safe to download the developer edition?? Or is it too unstable?!

Should be fine

Besides, the development are just better to use.

Can i just download de development edition, and Instal this directly, or do i have to delete the other version first??
