[MY RCT2 directory folder was in steam anf after picking it it would crash on startup. I couldn't find any way to change it and after uninstalling and reinstalling it at least 5 times no progress was made. the game now looks for a folder in my documents now as seen in the picture. note my steam library is on a separate hard drive from my program files and the game was installed on it's own folder on my other hard drive.]

• [no ] Reproducible in RCT2 (vanilla)?
• [ no] Multiplayer?

Steps to reproduce:

1. [use the build made 6 hours before this message was posted.]
2. [have RCT2 installed on a seprate hard drive from your C: drive]
3. [install the game in it's wwn folder on that seprate hard drive.]
4. [chose the rollercoaster tycoon 2 folder in your steamapps folder under common (still under the same hard drive)]
5. [this shouldn't work so now try deleting the open rct folder and the start menu folder and reinstalling it]

The game won't launch so he can't see the version in the bottom left corner, but yeah this exact issue is why I copied my RCT2 files onto my main hard drive. I had problems getting the game to run when it was on a different hard drive than RCT2.

@pizza2004 good point, I edited my comment.

Hm, I think it has more to do with the fact his path seems to contain < and >.

[janisozaur]

@Gymnasiast how do you know it does? Also, I don't think < and > are legal tokens in path name, Windows does not allow creation of such paths.

[IntelOrca]

The dump file would be helpful, can you upload it?

[Gymnasiast]

@janisozaur I don't, hence the 'I think'. The screenshot seems to suggest it uses < and >, but it could also be those are just blocky variants of ( and ).

[IntelOrca]

@Gymnasiast they are normal brackets () and that's in the dump filename - after its crashed already.

@BigBadAsh02
Could you run openrct2.exe from the command prompt and with --verbose as an argument?
This mean:

1. Open a command prompt
2. cd to the directory where openrct2.exe resides
3. openrct2.exe --verbose

Can you then right click and copy all the text and paste it in here? (or at least show a screenshot at the end of the text)
