Wont start in windows 8.1 - Clateman - Jul 31, 2014
Hi I bought RCT3 platinum off the steam store a while back and it worked fine on my old computer which was a windows 7 computer but when I try to play it on my new computer it crashes every time wont even get to the main menu, I have tried running compatibility mode for both steam and the game it self and both no luck. seems like allot of people are having similar issues and yet none have solved my problem so far as I can see. Please help i think this is a great game.

Here are the links: (I hope it helps) (You may have already seen this, but I shared it just in case.)
