RCT Help

I need some help with Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. I hope this is a good place to ask...

I downloaded a demo of it to see how it was, and I can't see a thing. Everything is pitch black. What's going on? Every once and a while, things get a little brighter, but it goes black again after a couple minutes.

I hope it's not supposed to do that, because if it is, RCT3 stinks, and I'm definitely going to stick to the first and maybe second ones.

Re: RCT Help

1. Maybe it is supposed to. I thought that maybe it was supposed to be night or something, but it stayed that way 24/7.

2. Do you mean you want to know that I'm using a Vista?

Re: RCT Help

If it's a laptop and you close it all the way then reopen while it's running, you have to turn off then back on.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

No, no no
Whats your GFX card, your system speed, CPU speed, what processor do you have?
Also vista seems to have a lot of problems with games. One suggestion would be to try running it as an administrator. Or running it in compatibility mode.
