Saving Copys of, reinstalling and overwriting the RCT3 Directories? - Bradly105YT - Nov 22, 2017

Ok so I had this problem with RCT3 and it kept freezing on the pre-menu loading screen, I am reinstalling RCT3 and have a copy of My Documents/RCT3 and ProgramFiles/Atari/RCT3 Platinum on my desktop so i'm gonna reinstall the game and move the copy of my files to the proper directories so it overwrites the RCT3 directory. My question is, will it still freeze on the pre-menu screen or will it not? Please respond!

Restoring your files after reinstalling RCT3 may still cause freezing if the backups are corrupted, contain problematic mods, or if compatibility issues persist.

Steps:
1. Test the game after reinstalling before restoring files.
2. Move files selectively (e.g., saves only).
3. Ensure compatibility mode is enabled and drivers/patches are updated.

If freezing continues, it’s likely due to corrupted or incompatible files in your backup.
