Problems with RCT: Loopy Landscapes

[Feret]

I bought the Loopy Landscapes Expansion this evening at my local walmart. The install seemed to go through just fine, but when i went to play it it showed this bar that said initializing and then it died because of some kind of exception or something. I tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling but i am getting the same problem. ANy ideas of what i can do?

There is a patch.

Remember that you'll have to do a CLEAN re-install. This means, uninstall, delete the game folder (C:\Program Files\Hasbro Interactive), re-install RCT and Loopy Landscapes, then apply the patch.

VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT TRY TO PLAY THE GAME UNTIL THE PATCH IS INSTALLED. Sorry for the all caps, but if you miss that, you'll have to uninstall, delete and reinstall again.

:sighs:

ive tried that once already but ill try it one more time..


edit


ok and I tried the patch after you said, and it told me i was already running the latest version?


And I am still getting the exception raised - ACcess Violation,.. Error Location: Unknown by Error Trapper

do you have Roller Coaster Tycoon?

laff of course i do, as i said it worked as plain RCT on that machine... and the reason i bought RCT was because it would run

If it said you were already running the latest version, then you have not uninstalled and deleted the remaining files. You need to uninstall EVERYTHING related to RCT, go to the install directory (usually C:\Program Files\Hasbro Interactive) and delete the RCT folder. Then restart, reinstall both (do not try to play), and then run the patch.

no i did do that

i uninstalled and deleted the directory emptied the recycle bin and restarted before reinstalling.


i am wondering if my version was already patched.... thats the only thing i can think of... but lopppy landsacpes runs on it now so go figure
