Too bad it won't work on a decent computer. Not unless BPB looks like some gray box with a red X on one side with some error message text with an OK button.

I stick with RCT3, where i can make parks that everyone can see, AND they look cool. How "decent" is your computer, Angry? Mine is crap and mine runs it just fine :laughing:

I think something else may be at issue here, NvCpl.dll is the NVIDIA Display Properties Extension. Which suggests either you have driver issues or you don't have enough RAM/Virtual Memory. Try installing the latest NVIDIA Drivers (which at the time of post are 77.72), as for RAM and VM Windows should do a reasonable job of expanding VM as needed. How much RAM and free Disk Space (on C:) do you have ?

 

I had no issues at all with loading BPB (except the HUGE loading time, mostly due to my lack of RAM I imagine) and I've not exactly got a great machine. (Athlon XP1700+, GF4Ti4400, 512Mb PC2700)

You can make massive parks that everyone can see with RCT3, just because either A) you don't like RCT3 or B) you can't run RCT3 decently, doesn't mean it's not good.

 

RCT2 is a great game, but so is RCT3/Soaked! RCT2 is showing it's age now, it came out in Oct 2002 and yes it's still a great game but it is starting to feel a bit clunky, but if you enjoy playing it still then all power to you but that doesn't mean that everyone has to prefer RCT2 to RCT3 or vice versa.

 

On these boards I've noticed it seems COOL to slag off RCT3/Soaked! for no obvious reason. Sure it needs a better PC than RCT2 but what game doesn't, if your machine can only just run RCT2 (which I find doubtful in this day and age as it only needs a P2 300, an 8Mb video card and 64Mb RAM) then you are likely going to have major issues running ANY game from the last few years. You could JUST get NoLimits to run with an RCT2 spec. machine (with a 3D card).

 

Sure, RCT3 as it was at launch was pretty bad and was frustrating, but with both patches and now with Soaked! it's like a totally different game, it's much closer to the game it SHOULD have been at launch!

 

This anti-RCT3 stance is really frustrating, especially because they are BOTH good games. I still love playing RCT2, I still love playing RCT3/Soaked!, heck I love 'playing' NoLimits!

 

Some people seem to find it really hard to like more than one game on this forum, and that's sad and I truly hope that those people are not that blinkered.

My computer runs Rct3 fine and with some power to spare , I don't like Rct3 for many reasons. Remember that it works both ways, I have my opinion and I didn't say everyone had to agree so I don't appreciate the semi-angst to my comment.

[Sir Clinksalot]

LOL! Chill out! I didn't understand your comment about not being able to make big parks in RCT3. And you are entitled to your opinion, no-one said you aren't. Just because I don't agree with it doesn't make it wrong, but I didn't think your comment was valid about only being able to make big parks in RCT2.

 

Thats all!

I never said you weren't entitled to your opinion, everyone is entitled to one.

I don't see where there is any "angst" towards your comment ? angst is a feeling of anxiety or apprehension, I'm not anxious or apprehensive about your comments.

Your original quote insinuates that you CAN'T make massive parks in RCT3, which is false. you can, quite ably. Your inability to is your own shortcoming, not the games. Especially if as you say "My computer runs Rct3 fine and with some power to spare".

 

Your opinion to not like the game is your own and ultimately why you don't like it is your own business. But to rubbish something or make a laughable comment without SOME backup is very childish.

 

RCT3 has it's faults, the amount of lag even on a high-end machine when you have upwards of 1500 peeps can spoil the game, some of the track pieces (notably the track end to lift hill piece) are broken, the new scenery in soaked isn't sorted properly as well as others I'm sure. I'll be the first to criticise RCT3 for it's FAULTS but even with those it is still a fine game. If you don't enjoy it then that's fine, but to criticise something without justification or even flat out lies is silly.

 

I've never once attacked you for having an opinion, you are justified to have one, everyone is but I'll defend RCT3 against ridiculous comments til the cows come home.

 

Edit: P.S. I'm presuming you've upgraded your PC since this post at the end of April ?

I would have bought Rct 3 if my computer would support it but unfortunately it won't, so all I get to see of it is what people post. People who play Rct 3 please post more of your work, I love to see what Rct 3 is like and what people do in it.

You can't make massive parks that everyone can see in Rct3 means, since it seems to be a difficult thing to understand, when you make a very large park in Rct3 it will cause your system to slow down and most people's computers can't handle it. In Rct2 you can make the largest park, fill it with rides, scenery and peeps and the majority of people with rct2 will be able to run it fine. If you want to have some vendetta with me over my views and statements over a game that's you problem

[Sir Clinksalot]

Vendetta? Do you mean me? If thats what you think then it's you with the problem! LOL

It's not my fault that people's computers are not good enough to display my fantastic parks built in RCT3. That doesnt make it a crap game. It's not the game's fault.

 

It's not nice to be accused of holding a vendetta, cos I really don't.

 

It seems some people on these boards can't discuss something without getting heated. Words like "vendetta" are not nice :crying:

Stitch, to be honest you are the one making this a "vendetta" (which to even use such a term on a forum is pathetic, especially as that term begs the question, what exactly am I trying to get revenge for ?). Your statement is false and was not relevant to this thread which has ultimately pushed this thread WAY OFF TOPIC.

 

Yes there are lag problems with RCT3 and it can create problems for viewing parks, but you can STILL VIEW them, and to be honest as long as the park is closed it's not so much a problem. It's generally the amount of peeps that create the lag. (along with people using horrendous amounts of scenery in small spaces) Either that or peoples systems just aren't good enough to play the park, in which case it's not the park creators problem. Besides which usually in park threads the creator illustrates his thread so those that wouldn't be able to can still enjoy his/her creation.

 

In RCT2 you can make parks as large as you like with no slowdown because it's a 2D game and most peoples machine specs are WAY above what it needs, to be fair if you gave a full park in RCT2 to someone who could only just run RCT2 you would encounter exactly the same problem as what people are experiencing in RCT3.

 

You wouldn't be having this same argument if someone in NoLimits filled a design with so much Custom 3DS Scenery that it slowed to a crawl on most peoples machines.

 

I haven't got a problem with your views as everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when you don't quantify it or make a completely false statement, sure I'll talk about it. If you wish to comment on this further please PM me as this thread has degenerated enough!

[Sir Clinksalot]

Yeah, isn't this thread meant to be about Blackpool Pleasure Beach in RCT3? I love BPB!

[Maynard_Hicks]

I can't see it....My WinRAR 40 day trial is up .

I can't see it....My WinRAR 40 day trial is up .

 

Download PowerArchiver here... it still works even when the trial is over, you still get the nag screen though. It can deal with most archive formats as well.

 

As for BPB, the park is pretty nice although I'd have loved to have seen the full detail version. My machine takes an age to load the low detail park mostly due to RAM I think and it can be a little sluggish in parts due to the amount of scenery. Unfortunately I can't tell how accurate it is as a recreation because I haven't been to Blackpool although it's on my "places to visit" list.

Hi all, sorry about the size of the park, hopefully when i get some time to my self and buy rct3 skd ill be most probably be starting the park from scratch, or editing the original, the park is the largest known to rct3 as far as i know, i sent it to a person who works for rct3 to check that there where no bugs or it was not corupt and he said that it was the largest file size he had seen.

 

anyway thanks for your coments will keep you posted.

[FishyFish]

It's unplayable on my PC.

 

3Ghz P4

512Mb RAM

Radeon 9800 Pro

 

Took over 10 minutes to load and then ran at about 10 frames a minute. I suspect I need more RAM - even Windows complained that system memory was low when I Ctrl-Alt-Del'ed to get out.

 

I really want to see it too.

[WARDL895]

Yes the park does test out rct3's ability to run huge parks, ive started a new version (one with less scenery) which is what i think ym downfall was on the older version park, taken too much detail, e.g. the big blue hotel lol looks fantastic took few hours to do, but the amount of scenery to make it is unreal...
