Sim Coaster game freezes when starting or loading game

★★★ Newbie
I have successfully installed Sim Coaster, or also know as Theme Park Inc. and I run the game through the compatability settings: Windows XP (Service Pack 2 and 3) and Windows 2000. when the game starts it leads up to the double doors, but does not move (where if it works, it plays the introduction) however the music still plays, and it has an option to skip the Intro, however when it shows you the screen with all your saves, and the Coaster Construction Kit mode stuff, when you load a coaster map or try to start the game or load a game it goes back to being stuck at the Double doors again, can't move or anything, but the music still plays. at this point I will tab out and tab back in to see if it woulld kick it into motion, however it just crashes the game. I am using Windows 7 OS, with compatibility settings.

QueenOfTheDelta2, I can't find any file named safemode in either of my SimCoaster folders. The only thing I can find is an icon named safe.ico. Is this still up to date? Wondering

@colinha667 Thanks for the post, I know there are a fair few older games that don't play well on W10 out of the box. 

Can you check this post, hopefully it'll help you to get the game running: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-EA-Games/HOW-TO-Getting-EA-Classics-up-and-running-on-your-modern-OS/...

I just tried this game on a windows 7 HP laptop and it worked well. But on windows 10, the game doesn't launch or anything, even with Compatibility mode. I'm thinking it may have to do with the "My games /My saved games" folder that windows 7 had which is no longer around in windows 10  or something along those lines. Anyone been able to get it to work with Windows 10?

In order for the simcoaster game to work on windows 8 and 10..... need to go to simcoaster folder,open data folder and run notepad on these 3 files called,high,med,and low.

 

on all these 3 file, change these setting from 0 to 1.

 

GraphicalOptions.RENDER32                                      1
GraphicalOptions.TEXTURE32                                     1
