I'm going to be playing more RCT3 now since Steam no longer works for me because I got hacked and I can't log in or create a new account because the reCaptcha keeps failing. With RCT3, I can download stuff from here, and it works without Steam. I have the Frontier published Complete Edition now. And RCT3 has more rides than Planet Coaster, and some that Planet Coaster doesn't have working versions of. And working waterparks. I haven't played RCT3 much since Planet Coaster came out, but now since I can't get into Planet Coaster and there seems to be no solution, I'm back into RCT3.

Sorry to hear about your problems. :^/ Hopefully your return to RCT3 will be a pleasant break from games that require Steam to work. (not a fan of Steam, if you couldn't tell... for the exact reason you're now having issues)

At any rate, looking forward to seeing what you come up with! RCT3's pyro sequencer is STILL the best ever made... and (in my humble opinion) RCT3's park simulation system is about the best ever implemented. It may not be the best looking, but then I was never into things because they had "cool graphics". What matters is that it's FUN!

And I was going to download the free Sims 4 from Steam. Now I have to find my old disc or rebuy it. I have a few different versions of Trainz simulator and thank God that is not on Steam. I had a different train sim by Dovetail that was on Steam but I like Trainz better. The only thing I thought of is if I could create an account somewhere else on a different computer and internet because maybe it's my internet, or computer that is causing reCaptcha to fail on the Steam registration. Then I could log in from home and start over with Planet Coaster and hopefully my saved games would work. I would have to resubscribe to things. And I have a second computer (my late mom's computer) that I could upgrade to Win 10 because Win 8.1 is unsupported by Steam now. I want to keep my main computer Win 8.1 for now. I lost my mom on June 14, 2022 in the hospital because her lungs were weak. What I like about RCT3 is water park stuff that works, and rides not in Planet Coaster but what I don't like about it is downgraded graphics compared to Planet Coaster and more restrictive ride placement. In Planet Coaster you can place and build rides at any angle.

I'm sorry to hear about the circumstances around your temporary departure from PlanCo. However, we don't have enough RCT3 builders anymore, so I'm delighted to hear you're going to be playing that again! What do you think your first project in the game will be?

Sorry to hear about your Steam account. Welcome to Parkcrafters! We cant wait to see your projects!
