RCT2 Help!

[christianscoasters]

I've been playing RCT2 on this computer FOREVER! Then one day, it just started lagging. I didn't install anything, or save huge files to this computer. Why is this happening? And what can I do to solve this?

 

Thank you

 

Ya' know what? Have a hug!

Thanks for asking this, I've been having the same problem.

Lots of guests in a small area causes a major lag. That might be your problem.

^Actually, it's the entire game. When I load it up, the menu lags, when I open a scenario with nothing on it, it lags, and if I test a coaster, it lags. There is not a point where it's not lagging.

That just stoped happening with me. After about 1 month, it stoped. So just play the waiting game.

I've played that for too long, The Waiting Game.

 

I've been waiting for 20 months for it to stop? anymore suggestions there, buddy? Because I'm stumped as I type.

When have you last installed windows? Windows as an OS gets slower over time, so a fresh install should improve speed overall. Also upgrade drivers for video cards, check that ram works (if ram dies, your computer will feel it ), get dust out of case, and check to make sure other games work.

It might be because you are using an old CD-rom. Try to install the "No CD Path." I don't wanna sound stupid, i guess I'm wrong anyway...

It might be the computer. As a computer ages, it runs slower.

Around how old is your computer?

OMG I forgot about this thread! I got so used to not playing RCT2 that I forgot.

Four years maybe? Maybe less.

 

Okay so after months of not playing, I tried RCT2 again. It has the lag still. But if I only have one coaster running, in a small corner of my screen or something, it does just fine. I'm PISSED!!!

 

I took a lot of things off of my computer, and the computer runs a lot faster.

 

I think I will uninstall then reinstall the game. BUT, I need to know how I can save everything I have on the game (saved games, custom scenery, etc.) and have it back on when I reinstall it.

Just make copies of all your folders.

 

Have you done a defrag? That always helps. Especially if you've installed and deleted a ton of files.

 

I've never heard of RCT2 lagging. I thought it was pretty stable, and easy on the video card.

I defragged tonight. I'm gonna see how it runs now.
