RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 - Platinum Edition

[deft bay]

How to get it running:
1.Step: Install RTC3 Platinum Edition, Epic Game's complete edition won't work last i checked (correct me if i'm wrong)
2.Step: edit the properties of the shortcut to have the start argument "-dx8"
3.Step: Install RTX Remix like with any other game.

WILL NOT RUN WITH:
-3d8to9 wrapper

Note: I have yet to try anything with omniverse and stuff. I just wanted to get the ball rolling, i don't have the time or knowledge to work on this project outside of managment and occasionall asset creation.

Does remix render? Is there pathtracing or does the menu only open?

[deft bay]

eh. The game is visually playable but some ui elements are missing and instead of proper pathtracing everythign is kinda weirdly lit like a game with out any shading

[worn umbra]

Hmm, any screenshots? 👀

[deft bay]

gimme a sec

forgot to screenshot it but the specific thing from the ui have a hard to time get visible is the building thingo in which you can open a thing

also i had to set the paths to ui for them to render properly

the game's internal settings are maxed out so probebly some primitiv shaders messing around too

[worn umbra]

Hmm, try putting the settings to their lowest. Did you try adding a dxvk.conf file to disable the shaders?

[deft bay]

nope, as you can read up there, i have no idea what i'm doing

can you send me the link to the discord archive with the download

please

[worn umbra]

I would but I’m away from my computer But it’s pretty easy, in notepad type d3d9.shaderModel = 0 and title it dxvk.conf and put it where the games .exe is

That’ll either work, or the game won’t launch. Might be a long shot, rc3 is shadermodel 3

[deft bay]

i'm sorry, i have everying at my dispossal but i'm so post work exhausted that my brain is mush

[deft bay]

i dunno, the original release came out during the time shadermodel 3 started to be used but wasn't quite a standard. So it might have shadermodel 3 but only uses a small number of features from it

i mean, for one the fog of war is around and it's as glitched as in any other strategy game

[worn umbra]

True, all signs point to it working hopefully

[deft bay]

it did crash when i tried to change graphic settings while still mid session, but you can cahnge the settings in the main menu so all is good

[worn umbra]

Yeah that happens to me a lot when I have remix installed, resolution changes too

[ashen steppe]

odd. i tried this with the GOG build and it didn't go anywhere, just crashed on startup

[deft bay]

well

let's just say i have another build

[deft bay]

are you using the latest build of RTX remix too?

[ashen steppe]

yes

[deft bay]

see dms

[ashen steppe]

@deft bay it is working. when i used the -dx8 flag, naturally i tossed in the d3d8to9 wrapper which seems to have broken it. removing that works

[deft bay]

interesting

i'm adding that to the tutorial

[ashen steppe]

and so for path tracing, unfortunately none of the usual workarounds i try are working

[deft bay]

I have 2 theories right now:
-rtxr is unable to figure out the light source and glitches out.
-the fog of war or another shader/layer is screwing things up

[ashen steppe]

right now, Remix just isn't able to parse the shaders
