Transferring RCT3 Data to a New Computer - TCLWJaved - Aug 14, 2006
Hey RCT3'ers! Good news! (At least for me) I am getting a new computer in a month's time and would like to know how to transfer all the data from my Current RCT3 Profile to my new computer.

^ Serously Scotland (I'm not having a go at you here)... a little punctuation and capital letters would much help people understand your posts. I read that and barely understood it...
Anyway, seeing as Scotland failed to say which files to copy, select all the folders in your My Documents>RCT3 folder (or just copy the whole folder), as well as your Prgram Files>Atari>RCT£>Style>themed folder if you have used any custom scnery, then you can either:
1) Zip the folders and upload them to an upload site, e.g. RapidShare (I would include a link but it isn't working for me right now so I can't) or FileFront, then NOTE THE LINK to them and simply download the files on your new computer.
2) Copy all the files to some sort of external hardware, like a CD or a memory stick, then just transfer them from it to your new computer.
Hope this helps, but I'm not the best at giving tutorials (but I personally think I do them better than a certain person who I shall not name in case I get into trouble)...

Also if there are pictures / movies you want to keep access them in the My Documents/My Videos/RCT3 or My Documents/My Pictures/RCT3

Yeah, i just used the ol traditional way, and burn them on disk.....that way, if anything, goes wrong, its like having a permanent restore point.....but just for your game.

If you ever respond to this, I did what you said, but how do I open the game on the new computer?

It should walk you step by step on how to do that.

If you purchased it from Steam, you will need to download it from your games library.
