Rollercoaster Tycoon Keeps Freezing

Apr 10, 2016  If you have issues with your game freezing or lagging. Please Read, ASAP. Thread: If you have issues with your game freezing or lagging. Please Read, ASAP. RollerCoaster Tycoon is back! RCTW is the first new entry to the RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise in a decade, bringing an innovative new track builder, and much more. Locate the executable (usually under C: GOG Games RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Thrill Pack RCT2.EXE), open the file properties dialog and switch to the 'Compatibility' tab. Set the compatibility mode to 'Windows 98 / Windows Me' and check the 'Disable Visual Themes' checkbox. The game should run properly now. I tested this on Windows 7. Oct 21, 2009 Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 - Whole system freeze Hi Everyone! I've been wanting to re-live this classic for a while now, but after running flawlessly on my Windows 7 x64 system it freezes, locking the entire system and requires a full restart (No BSOD, just entire system lock-up).

Rollercoaster Tycoon Keeps Freezing 2

I bought RCT Deluxe off of Steam during the sale and I've been pulling my hair out ever since. The game runs fine--I originally installed it through Steam in Crossover--but whenever I save or load, after I click a button on the dialogue box the screen just goes black. The cursor turns white and changes to a hand sometimes like it's trying to interact with things, and the music keeps going, but I can't do anything and I have to force quit. There were similar issues reported at GOG but I haven't found any that work. I'm running Crossover 14.0.3 and the RCT is Deluxe, which means it's the original with three expansions. I've tried making sure I can write to the disk CrossOver is on, etc., but I can't locate the problem. I've tried doing run commands but it just says Windows doesn't have a program that can run the file.
I also tried just installing it using RCT's setup.exe that I found in the hidden Steam folders inside CrossOver. The game runs exactly the same as when I launch it inside Steam. I've tried installing the game in different Windows bottles, into its own bottle, etc. I've tried enabling virtual desktop every time but no change.
If it matters, I'm running OS X 10.9.5.
