I’ve only found out recently that it’s possible to set an overlay in Windows8 so that RCT3 will play as if it’s in Windows7, Vista or XP. It seems the overlay can be set so just the application(s) you want play in it.
Did Soaked! partially uninstall and then a message displayed saying it couldn’t complete uninstallation? If so, try reinstalling Soaked! If a partial uninstall took place, during Soaked! reinstallation a message may come up asking if you want to repair the Soaked! installation. Select “Yes†or “O.K.â€
After Soaked! is sorted then reinstall Wild! I’ve never owned Windows8 or have used overlays but after reinstalling Wild! you’d need to set the overlay so it runs in either Windows7 or Vista.
