Installation Directory Location?

[Jasontgrocks]

I don't understand how to download this. Where is the location of the installation directory? I'm not computer smart so this is pretty challenging...

thank you for help,

Jason

Did you install the original RCT2 game before trying to run OpenRCT2? You need the original (for example on Steam, or even from an old CD) to play OpenRCT2.

If you have the Steam version, then the game will be in your Steam folder under steamapps/common or if you have the retail version, then the path should be Infograms or if you have TTP, then it should be located in Atari.

So you have RCT2 installed through Steam you mean? Run it at least once, download a zip from our download page and unzip is somewhere (doesn't really matter where), run the openrct2.exe and it SHOULD work. If it doesn't, let me know

It still asked me for the RCT2 directory. Where is that?

The RCT2 directory is where the game is located, in this case it's probably program files (86x) Steam Steamapps Common RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Thrill
