Is RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 required to play OpenRCT2?
5+
----------------------------------------------------
6+
7+
Yes, OpenRCT2 needs a copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 or RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic for its graphics and sound assets.
8+
It’s recommended to also install Wacky Worlds, Time Twister and RollerCoaster Tycoon 1, but this is not required.
9+
10+
Does OpenRCT2 work with all versions of RCT2?
11+
---------------------------------------------
12+
13+
OpenRCT2 works fully with the following releases of RCT2:
14+
15+
- Original CD version (expansion packs are recommended, otherwise the expansion rides and scenery will appear invisible)
16+
- Triple Thrill Pack CD version
17+
- GOG version (not the Russian release, which is discussed below)
18+
- Steam version
19+
- Discord Nitro version
20+
- CD Projekt Polish CD version
21+
- RCT Classic
22+
23+
OpenRCT2 partially works with the following releases of RCT2:
24+
25+
- RCT2 Mini Game (lacks some objects, which will appear invisible, and most scenarios)
26+
- Akella/GOG Russian version (font issues. OpenRCT2 ships with a full Russian sprite font set, so if you want to play in Russian, you should still install the English GOG version)
27+
28+
How can I add the scenarios from RCT1?
29+
--------------------------------------
30+
31+
There are two options:
32+
33+
1. Linking OpenRCT2 to RCT1. This not only makes the scenarios available, but also additional land types and some other small features. This is the best solution. You do need to own RCT1 with Loopy Landscapes or RCT Deluxe for this, though. It can be bought from sites like GOG, Fanatical or Steam, going as low as $1-$3 during sales.
34+
2. Using recreated scenarios. These are pretty close matches, but not as close as using the originals. However, they can be downloaded for free `here <http://www.mediafire.com/download/3cw47sd2wt3hues/ExactRCT1Recreations.zip>`_.

Can I play OpenRCT2 in my own language?
5+
---------------------------------------
6+
7+
OpenRCT2 is available in over 20 languages, including all languages that RCT2 was originally released in. The in-game language can be changed from the Options window.
8+
9+
Some letters are substituted for others (e.g. all l’s are replaced with j’s)
10+
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
11+
12+
This happens when the ``g2.dat`` file is out of date. This is usually the result of only replacing ``openrct2.exe`` instead of all the data files. This can easily be solved by reinstalling OpenRCT2. Your saves and scenario progress will not be erased if you do so.
