|
OpenRCT2 is an amusement park simulation game based upon the popular game
|
|
|
|
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the
|
|
|
|
original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenRCT2 is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.0, but
|
|
|
|
includes some 3rd party software under different licenses. See the section
|
|
|
|
"Licensing" below for details.

2.0) Contacting
|
|
|
|
---- ----------
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to contact the OpenRCT2 team is by submitting issues on GitHub
|
2015-06-21 14:44:22 +02:00
|
|
|
(https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2) in the form of questions or bug reports.
|
2020-04-06 08:43:03 +02:00
|
|
|
You can also chat with us on Discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/fsEwSWs).

2.1) Reporting bugs
|
|
|
|
---- --------------
|
|
|
|
GitHub is used for tracking bugs in OpenRCT2. Please check if the bug has
|
|
|
|
already been reported using the search functionality before submitting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you are sure it is not already reported you should:
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you are running a recent version, i.e. run the latest stable or
|
|
|
|
nightly based on where you found the bug.
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you are not running a non-official binary, like a fork.
|
|
|
|
When you are playing with a fork you should report any bugs to the bug
|
|
|
|
tracker for that fork which is most likely another GitHub repository.
|
|
|
|
* Make it reproducible for the developers. In other words, create a savegame
|
|
|
|
in which you can reproduce the issue once loaded. It is very useful to give
|
2017-11-28 22:37:53 +01:00
|
|
|
us the dump file as well, and a screenshot.
|
2015-02-06 20:54:44 +01:00
|
|
|
* Check whether the bug is already reported on our bug tracker. This includes
|
|
|
|
searching for recently closed bug reports as the bug might already be fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you have done all that you can report the bug. Please include the
|
|
|
|
following information in your bug report:
|
|
|
|
* OpenRCT2 version (PLEASE test the latest git develop build)
|
|
|
|
* Bug details, including instructions how to reproduce it
|
|
|
|
* Platform (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, ...) and compiler (including version) if
|
|
|
|
you compiled OpenRCT2 yourself.
|
2020-09-03 11:18:28 +02:00
|
|
|
* The processor architecture of your OS (x86 Windows, x86-64 Windows,
|
2017-07-07 10:34:16 +02:00
|
|
|
Android on an ARM, Linux on a PowerPC, ...)
|
2015-02-06 20:54:44 +01:00
|
|
|
* The language and culture your operating system is using.
|
|
|
|
* Attach a saved game *and* a screenshot if possible
|
|
|
|
* If this bug only occurred recently please note the last version without
|
|
|
|
the bug and the first version including the bug. That way we can fix it
|
|
|
|
quicker by looking at the changes made.
|
2017-07-07 10:34:16 +02:00
|
|
|
* Attach a crash dump (if your game crashed or froze).

4.0) Installing and running OpenRCT2
|
|
|
|
---- ------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Installing OpenRCT2 is fairly straightforward. Either you have downloaded an
|
|
|
|
archive which you have to extract to a directory where you want OpenRCT2 to
|
|
|
|
be installed, or you have downloaded an installer, which will automatically
|
|
|
|
extract OpenRCT2 in the given directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenRCT2 requires an installation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (RCT2) to run. You
|
2016-01-09 23:57:16 +01:00
|
|
|
must have either installed the original RCT2 disc, the GOG version or the Steam
|
2015-02-06 20:54:44 +01:00
|
|
|
version. Alternatively you can manually specify the location of where your RCT2
|
|
|
|
data files are. These may be directly copied of the original disc and placed in
|
|
|
|
a directory of your choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you start OpenRCT2 for the first time, it will look for the RCT2 data files
|
|
|
|
in the following locations:
|
2015-06-16 05:34:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files\Infogrames\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2,
|
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Infogrames\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2,
|
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2,
|
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2,
|
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2,
|
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2,
|
2016-07-19 22:57:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- C:\GOG Games\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Thrill Pack,
|
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files\GalaxyClient\Games\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Thrill Pack,
|
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Thrill Pack,
|
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Rollercoaster Tycoon 2,
|
|
|
|
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rollercoaster Tycoon 2,
|
2015-06-16 05:34:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- The location of the openrct2.exe (where OpenRCT2 was extracted/installed)
|
2015-02-06 20:54:44 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If none of these locations are found, OpenRCT2 will ask you to manually specify
|
|
|
|
the directory. Alternatively after running OpenRCT2 for the first time, you can
|
|
|
|
edit openrct2.cfg in the OpenRCT2 sub directory of your documents folder to set
|
|
|
|
the RCT2 install path.
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-13 12:14:01 +02:00
|
|
|
OpenRCT2 supports setting a DPI scale in increments of .25. To set it, open the Options menu.
|
2015-02-06 20:54:44 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2015-06-21 14:44:22 +02:00
|
|
|
If you wish to use Steam Overlay or capture game for video recording or
|
|
|
|
streaming, you might have to enable hardware display in the options window.
|
|
|
|
This will still render the graphics on the CPU but the pixel data will be
|
2016-01-09 23:57:16 +01:00
|
|
|
displayed using either DirectX or OpenGL. This may also enable vertical
|
|
|
|
synchronisation if supported by your graphics card and you have enabled
|
|
|
|
"Uncap FPS".

7.0) Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
---- ---------------
|
|
|
|
If you are having problems running OpenRCT2, you can run OpenRCT2 in verbose
|
|
|
|
mode to view a detailed diagnostic log. This can be activated by running the
|
|
|
|
game via Command Prompt or PowerShell with the command line switch --verbose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This log can help pinpoint where a problem exists and is a useful resource if
|
|
|
|
you wish to ask online for help.
