Differences?

Now it’s actually out, can anyone confirm what actual changes have been made? I understand 1080p is now available without config file editing, has anything else changed? New models/textures/performance enhancements/non stretched ui/ui scaling in widescreen?

As far as I can tell in a bit of testing, the text looks a little smoother (not much, could be down to resolution differences since my copy of Plat runs at 1440x900 and Complete runs at 1600x900).

The game also loads a smidge faster on Complete than on Plat (sub 1 second difference into the Vanilla Hills map).

Otherwise, it's pretty much the same game. Uses the same profiles and saved games that I had from Platinum and the UI does not scale in any way, making 1080 impractical on my 14 inch laptop.

I would highly doubt that there are any significant graphical changes. The folder sizes for the two versions of the game are almost identical (~100 MB difference).

It's actually the same as Platinum. I tried the Epic version and it can still read my save games from Steam, Platinum version (Career Progress, Sandbox parks).

The widescreen option (16:9) is there, but no ultra-wide (21:9), which means editing the INI file is required like the old version.

Overall, this complete version is just Platinum version. No major changes to gameplay.

So the only difference is an additional screen size?

That is what I have noticed soo far

Changes and Bug fixes:
Higher Resolution
First Aid is now Green instead of Red "OKI Fair"
Guest are no longer stuck on Freefall tower and Double floor observation tower when loading save file
No Polish Language "Obviously..."
Logo Change

Not Fixed/changed:
FPS Overly Is still a cheat "WHY???"
You are still unable to place fences on path but able to place them on tracks...
Game still have hard time with rendering over 1k guests "Game set me to High Quality when used detect settings"
Game Have Hard time with Lights at night

the font is very thin ... too thin for my eyes. is there a mod that changes the font to make it more high contrast?

Hidan Sep 25, 2020 @ 12:38pm

don't think that there are any mods, but would not be mad if someone do OpenRCT3 ;)

To be specific, is this not worth rebuying when I already own the old version?

That is correct. If you already own a physical version of RCT3 or the RCT3 Ultimate that was published by Atari (on Steam), then you do not need to buy this version as it is the same game, just with a new publisher who happens to be the original developer: Frontier.
