Ask the Experts / Can't Open RCT2 Saved Game I was working on.

  • chemist%s's Photo

    Hey guys! I'm running into a issue that I had before with opening a park. I've been working on this park all week and now since I got home today I can't seem to open it. It keep saying invalid error! The only thing I can possible think of is if I saved by mistake on zero clearance. Does that mean saved game is RIP? Try to load the file and let me know if it works anyone willing to help?

    If anyone can help me, please give me a msg or something! I really want to finish this project and post it up for you guys!

    It says invalid data for me. The only thing I can think of is that you have some banner objects in the park that are causing trouble, but that's a long shot.

    I'd start making multiple saves of your projects.  I usually make a new save every 15-20 minutes, which is probably little overkill but always get paranoid that I'm going to lose a bunch of work because of things like this.

    NOOOOOO, another RIP! God damnit! This was so sick what I had too, probably one of my best works I ever done. Thanks for the help guys! This stuff kind of saddens me though, I put so much love and time into this and now its just..gone.. smh. I don't even want to play no more after shit like this happens, excuse my expression but I wonder if dexler patch would make a difference?

    Drexler is for LL not rct2

    I couldn't open it either. Maybe you didn't save it as export plugin objects. I think everyone does what G Force said, save your game as a new file every 15-20 minutes. Then if you have an issue you can go back a few saved games a you only have to rebuild a little bit. Maybe another member can figure out your issue.

     

    What bench did you use to start on?... I recently installed rct on a new laptop so my objdat folder is on the small side and I'm missing a ton of objects from your file.

    I have a ton of objects in my objdata folder and get the same error. Exporting is, unfortunately, not the issue. I am fairly sure it's an object issue though, and maybe a browse through the park's object files with a dat checker program (I'd do it but I can't seem to get mine to work) or parkdat could find the problem and remedy it.

    I sent you a PM with an updated file on your park. Try and see if it opens now. It does say I need Time Twister, could that be right?
