Improved and extended language support, over a dozen languages available.Support for widescreen resolutions, giant screenshots of the whole map.Native support for modern versions of Windows, macOS, Linux and other operating systems.The third-party OpenRCT2 Launcher is often used to facilitate easy updates of the game. OpenRCT2 has two release branches: the 'Develop' branch, which is updated up to multiple times a day with builds that incorporate new features and changes, but may be unstable and the 'Release' branch, which is updated every few months with a stable build of the game that incorporates the changes and additions of all builds released in the 'Develop' branch since the previous build in the 'Release' branch.ĭue to game-breaking bugs on 'Develop' branch builds being fixed relatively quickly by the development team, most of the community plays OpenRCT2 using the latest build in the 'Develop' branch. OpenRCT2 is available for Microsoft Windows (Vista and higher Windows XP support was dropped since v0.0.5 ), Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Android. Since OpenRCT2 currently uses the same save format as RCT2, some hardcoded limits are still in place, such as:Ī new object and save format for OpenRCT2 is planned, which should enable the project to eliminate these limits, and to bolster support for importing save games from RCT1 and RCTC. Unless otherwise noted, most information on this wiki about RCT2 directly applies to OpenRCT2 as well.

OpenRCT2 aims to continue where RCT2 left off, making it an update to RCT2 in a similar way RCT2 acted as one to RCT1, or how Loopy Landscapes acted as one towards the base installation of RCT1. On 15 October 2015, this process was finished, making the game independent (except for graphics, sounds and objects), and easier to port to other systems.

In order to keep the game playable and testing easier, OpenRCT2 called into the original RCT2.EXE for functions it did not yet have itself, replacing these functions bit by bit with its own code. Development of OpenRCT2 was started on 2 April 2014 by Ted 'IntelOrca' John, with the project making steady development progress due to the efforts of other volunteers contributing towards its development.
