RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum!

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum!

a FIX for all the stewpid people out their
if you cant get the game to even run... or maybe you're just having problems in general. try this:

1.just right click the game in your steam library
2.click properties and go to local content
3 click browse local content.
4.then find the game itself "which is the game looking icon" and right click it to visit its properties
5.and in the compatibilty tab are all the options. for my windows 10 i chose run in compatibility for windows 8, and run in 640 by 480. i dont believe this game was cut out to be on windows 10. you're playing a outdated game. you need a earlier version of windows. luckly windows 10 can go backwards

now SCRAM... go make you're roller coasters.

update: someone posted a youtube video of how to get better resolution frames. o.k i guess i was wrong. you CAN run this game at 1920x1080. i did exactly what he said. and it worked. im glad i posted this thread. because in some ways... arnt we ALL stupid?

I am running the game on Windows 10 at 1920x1080 and it loads and works perfectly ! Also I'm Not using any of the compatabilty modes either ! It's just running on Windows 10 !!

By the way. Who the hell runs any game at 640 by 480 these days !!! RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 can be run at 1920x1080 on Windows 10 or earlier versions of Windows without any problems just like I am doing !

Sounds to me you are one of the "stupid people" as you put it ! The game can be run on Windows 10 Without using compatability mode and it can be run at 1920x1080 without any problems. How do I know. Because that's how I'm running it. Windows 10, 1920x1080 and No compatability mode !!

Yes there isn't usually a need for compatibility mode.

If you are playing an outdated game you don't need an earlier version of windows. Their are some issues with some of them as far as things like direct x but my favourite game is very old and it plays just fine as does RCT 3. I would go insane at that kind of resoloution. I will stick to the usual one thanks.

Sarcasm? Hopefully so considering the OP's method is the absolute most moronic possible solution ever posted on a gaming forum ever. :steamfacepalm: :steammocking:

You should get out more . Notions of most moronic ever posted on a gaming forum ever...

The title was a hint it would be in the top 5000 that day but most moronic ever that is an ever shifting goal line and not in the good direction.

You should go to school more. It's called hyperbole.

It's a bit past hyperbole. In any case it wasn't an attack but to say that equally as useless and rude things are posted on too many forums related to games every day. Genesis was able to post somethng that actually helped after all which would be the point if threads with titles like this didn't set off an uh oh alert.

ci vorrebbe il video fatto su windows 10 e sul gioco su steam. perché pure mettendo la spunta per visualizzare le cartelle nascoste quella cartella non c'è...
