RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Forum

Hey all

I have the retail version of RCT2 running on my Mac with Crossover 10.1.0 (Mac OS X 10.5.8), and it starts, everything seems to work, but it's so SLOW. I can get it to run at normal speed sometimes for a few minutes, but then it starts to crawl. The audio is perfectly fine, but I just run into many graphical issues with windows not coming up, or not going away, and it just becomes unplayable.

I've messed around with the Direct 3D, and I found turning OpenGL on fixed this completely....except for one little issue. The colours get SEVERELY screwed up, everything turns negative, and ends up looking like the Tandy version of the game. (Which never existed!)

I see that the CD/DVD version is listed as 'Known not to work', but I think this is due to the fact that Crossover cannot see CD's for verification, which should be top priority to fix. However, we all know of how to get around that, and we shan't cover the legalities here, it's already documented elsewhere.

I have tried pretty much everything I can to get this to run, with no luck whatsoever. has anyone had any luck getting around this slowdown issue?

It is not slowing down for me, and can't figure out why that would happen. I have another problem in that the game freezes every time I try to save. Have you figured out how to get around that by any chance?

Thanks.
