Table of Contents

The mouse and keyboard are used for RollerCoaster Tycoon. The left mouse button interacts with all buttons, objects, and people on the park by clicking once. The right mouse button can be held down to freely drag the view of the park in any direction by moving the cursor. The cursor itself can move the view by lying near the edges of the screen, but this does not work if the game is running in a window.

The keyboard's arrow keys are used to move the view of the park around. In addition, some keys are assigned to other actions by default. To see the list of available hotkeys, click on the Game Options button on the toolbar, select Options, and click on Customize Keys which is located under Controls. You can assign different keys as well by clicking on a shortcut and pressing the key you want to have assigned. The table below shows the pre-assigned keys.

The right mouse button can be held down to freely drag the view of the park in any direction by moving the cursor. May 21, 2009  I'm trying to figure out how to run Roller Coaster Tycoon in a window. However, I'm unable to do this no matter what I do. Anybody have any suggestions for me? I'm running on a Windows XP, I believe Service pack 2 or 3.

Go to wherever your steam is installed, then follow this path: SteamsteamappscommonRollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe Then, right click on RCT.exe, go to the compatibility tab, check the box that says something along the lines of 'run this program on compatibility mode' and then select which version of windows you wish to use.

Essential improvements[edit]

Patches[edit]

RollerCoaster Tycoon has a number of patches available from Atari's FTP server. Additionally, Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes each have one patch. These will update RollerCoaster Tycoon to v1.08.187, Corkscrew Follies/Added Attractions to v1.10.026, and Loopy Landscapes v1.20.013.

The 2003 Deluxe release, as well as all downloadable versions are already patched to the latest version.

Downloadable Content[edit]

There are two official roller coaster collection downloads from Chris Sawyer, both available via his website. While the 'Cat' collection can be used in any version of the game, the 'Phobia' collection can only be used in conjunction with games that have either the Corkscrew Follies/Added Attractions or Loopy Landscapes expansion packs.

Compatibility modes[edit]

Roller Coaster Tycoon Windowed Mode Download

Setting the game to run in compatibility mode can help fix many issues with launching and playing the game. To do this, right-click the .exe, open Properties and set the game to run in Windows 98 / Windows ME, Windows XP SP2, or Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode from the Compatibility tab.

Run Rollercoaster Tycoon In Windowed Mode

Desktop composition[edit]

Some problems can be caused in Windows 7 and Windows Vista by having desktop composition enabled. To turn this off, check the 'Disable desktop composition' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatibility).

Dialog boxes not opening/unable to save[edit]

Running RollerCoaster Tycoon with visual themes enabled can prevent the open/save dialog box from opening. To fix this, check the 'Disable visual themes' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatibility).

Another save game issue can be caused by not running the game as an Administrator. To fix this, check the 'Run this program as an administrator' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatibility).
