Ask the Experts / My very first black hole

-

The first symptoms you mention don't sound familiar to me... but if it's just an ordinary blackhole, the first thing you should try is to not hack for a while. Often it just fixes itself. Could take a few hours, could be weeks.

So, I couldn't find any topic dealing with black holes in Rct2. Now, I've just found my first one ever and I haven't got a clue what to do with it.

Some info:
-Never used any very complex hacking on this park. Only zero clearances/change weather/add money and the likes.
-Every now and then it says the tile is not owned by the park.
-Every now and then if you change the tile height/type of land it takes a random other tile with it (so that one gets raised/changed too).
-If you try and build a path/object over it you see the white version as in the null object ones.
-Furthermore it just has more or less the standard lags, uglyness etc.


So, what are ways of dealing with this? What are the first things I should try? Any help would be appreciated!

If you're a good learner ,then i suggest to read the topic 'hex editing' by Levis.
I've read it and it's quite difficult, but if you can understand it, then with hex editing you can remove a blackhole and many other stuff.
Good luck with this one.

That's up to you.

a black hole can happen even if you dont hack at all. its just a saving error. people who are experienced in hex editing can fix it for you. in my hex edit tutorials I explain how to fix a certain type of black hole and it seems like this is the same type.
going back is always an option. but there is always a chance it comes again.

I thought ,let's kick up this topic because of a recent experience.
There a 2 blackholes to see in the next 2 screens. I've discovered them today.
I always check my entire park for blackholes after hacking, but because these 2 where in some buildings, i didn't noticed them right away.
Here are the screens.

As you can see, they are there in the 1st and 2nd screen and they are gone in the 3th and 4th screen.

The only thing i did when i discovered them was removing everything on that tile, don't try to remove the blackhole as well, as the game will get stuck (so no decor removing tool). But after removing everything on that tile, you will have a good chance that it will remove itself.
The pictures are the proof i think.
So for everybody who's experiencing black holes, i hope this will take some stress away.
The only downsides where, that i had to rebuild a part of a building and i've lost an entrance pole (entrance is still functional), but hey, that doesn't take much time compared to going back a whole leap of savegames (if you have more than 1 savegame) .
I hope this is apreciated out there.
Just trying to help others.

Edit: Hey Liampie ,these ones where gone in minutes after cleaning the tile
