Rct3

My thoughts are pretty much the same one's I've mentioned on the official rct3 forum. Looks like this will be another great game in the RCT series, but the pencil pushers shoved it out the door a bit too quick. The first patch comes out on Wednesday. The animatronics in the game are great.

Frame rates were a little slow at times (especially at night, but the sky at night looks incredible going up a lift hill on my vertical drop coaster). But then I noticed ATi had just put out new video drivers and now it's running much smoother.

The most annoying part is trying to figure out why I built a great coaster with perfect ratings, high excitement medium intensity, low nausea and no one will get in the queue line for it. Then I throw in a silly trampoline jumper ride directly across from it and the queue is packed. It's even full of peeps with high intensity needs who ignore my coaster. Go figure.

I picked it up last Thursday. I'm reserving final judgement after the first patch is released.

Hmm...just finished all the scenarios as a Tycoon, even the two locked one's at the end. That was a letdown, where's the fanfare, where's the "I'm the greatest RCT3 player of all time." Where's the cool ending?

Oh well, now I can go have fun in sand box mode, lol...

Dean AU, I know you're a member of the Atari forums. Please, can you help with my dilemma? (See 'ATI Uninstall' on Atari Forums)

According to your specs posted on the other forum:

Video Card: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 (driver [nv4_disp.dll] not signed)
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster PCI (driver [es1371mp.sys] not signed)

I need the latest version of DirectX (9.0). However, it does not let me install it because it can't trust a file. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is...

If I remember correctly the tnt2 model 64 was a on-board video card that came with the machine (probably a dell). Chances are you will have to buy a new video card (contact dell if that's what you have and find out what AGP slot you have in your machine 2x, 4x, 8x), then turn off your on-board video card in your bios and install your new card.

And you will have to install DirectX 9.0 just tell it to trust the file. Try downlodaing DX9 here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...20-BFBB-4799-9908-D418CDEAC197&displaylang=en

Then make sure you read the following important instructions:

1. Click the Download button in the upper right-hand corner of this page to start the download, or choose a different language from the drop-down list and click Go.
2. To start the installation immediately, click Open or Run this program from its current location.

Then click the "DOWNLOAD" button on the right-side of the screen.

I am running 9.0C on mine as well, I get some slow-downs at night, but nothing that's a show stopper. I've finished all the scenarios and am now trying to decide if I want to invest the time to create a big park.

How do you make a file trusted?

Maybe we are talking about two different things. Are you referring to when you are downloading/installing directx 9 it pops up and asks you if you want trust the file you are downloading?

If not, please take a screenshot (alt-printscreen) and try posting it on the forum so that I may see where you are having the problem.

A message pops up saying the application has not passed Windoes Logo Certification Testing, and can't be trusted. I don't know how to get whatever I need certified...

Does it ask you if you want to go ahead and trust it anyhow? If so, it's a Microsoft product (hmm...maybe we shouldn't trust it, lol) so go ahead and install it.

You might also go to the support website for your computer and see if there are updated drivers for your on-board video card as that could be why you are getting the message.

It recognizes what components it needs for the installation, but when DirectX installs the components, it says "a cabinet file necessary for installation could not be trusted", and the InstallWizard closes, saying "installation failed".
