help! i bought rollercoaster tycoon 1 deluxe off gamersgate but it will not work?

[rachael26897]

The game downloaded fine (I think) but when I try to open it, it asks for the cd and says missing or inaccessible data file, I just don't understand... I've tried changing the compatibility mode to windows 7 and disabling the visual themes but I can't get it to work. Can anyone help?

[Aokpisz]

We really can't help you with taht. We mainly focus on old Lego PC games. :)

[rachael26897]

oops lol maybe i try another site... thanks!

Okay, now you've really pissed me off.

Thanks for driving away someone looking for help that we have.

Um, yeah, do I have the time to dig back all the way to 2010 and see this topic? No, I dont, Not to mention I wouldnt ahve any reason to.

And why dont you just send him a PM? Gosh, it'll alert him in his email, and he'll see it and go to the topic, no need to get ticked off.

Then why did you even bother to post if you didn't bother to look for an answer?

And why dont you just send him a PM?

because they probably won't come back for a while.

no need to get ticked off.

You're right, there wasn't a need, especially as the user was only here for RTC help. But I just get annoyed when people post a quick reply without knowing the actual answer.

Look. I went to the search, typed in "rollercoaster tycoon."

No results found for 'rollercoaster tycoon'.

Ta-da. So since we mostly have Lego games, WHICH ARE ON THE MAIN FORUM PAGE.... I assumed taht we couldnt help this poor dezien of the internet.

and just try PMing him then, so what if he doesnt come back? He'll find the answer somewhere else. -_-

[Lair]

Look. I went to the search, typed in "rollercoaster typhoon." No results found for 'rollercoaster typhoon'.

Because there is no such game as "Rollercoaster Typhoon"

[Aokpisz]

Typo, fixed.

That was a really bad typo xD

[Cirevam]

RRU pops up on some Roller Coaster Tycoon search results when people are looking for patches or help running the game. We get more people here asking for help with RTC than one might think. Please don't deny help to people asking about non-LEGO games since we aren't 100% LEGO-based. Also, don't give us that lame excuse that you didn't have time to search for a topic. If you're on RRU, it's likely that you have five minutes to use the search function. :)

[Aokpisz]

I did search for the topic. *eyeroll*

So since THAT FOUND NOTHING, I believe I have a right to say,

REad the underlined text. And sorry for the double post, something went weird.

[Lair]

I did search for the topic. *eyeroll*

I went to google and looked up "roller coaster tycoon windows 7" and RRU was the first result. Just because you typed it wrong doesn't mean it's not there. Also don't be a prick.

No, you don't have a right to say that. If you're going to tell someone that we flat out don't do something, you had better make sure you didn't overlook it. If you have the time to post these arguments, it seems you would have time to look up why someone would post a topic like this.

[Cirevam]

Lair posted as I was posting this but I'll leave it anyways.

You do not have a right to say that you do not have time to search for a topic when someone is asking for help if you decide to post. If you can't help, don't post. Honestly, if you were in a city and someone asked if you knew the location of some obscure coffee shop, would you say "no it doesn't exist" or "sorry I don't know, maybe ask someone else"? By the way, I did my own search and this is what I found:

I searched for "roller coaster tycoon" minus quotes, not "rollercoaster tycoon" minus quotes so maybe that was part of why you couldn't find the topic. Please stop getting all antsy about this. Further arguments may be subject to unreasonable punishments (or just a topic lock).

[lol username]

Way to drive off a new member by singlehandedly claiming nobody in the entire community can help them when we actually can and have before. Even if you didn't know we help these sorts of problems, telling a member to go elsewhere before anybody can even try to help them is just plain rude. And now you're acting even ruder when people call you on it.

And then Cirevam posted while I was typing this.

[Aokpisz]

Okay okay. I was just explaining what i did.

Im sorry.

[McJobless]

YEAH YEAH LOUD NOISES AND SUCH YOU DID A BAD THING DERAIL THE TOPIC YEAH YEAH

But seriously. Did anyone notice that the person's name was a girls name?

[Lair]

What's your point?

[McJobless]

The point is, did the person actually get help or not?

[Lair]

Negative.

[Cyrem]

This is a perfect example on what not to do when helping users.

Lets not continue to bring this up.
