Updated RCT3 Demo Out
The updated Roller Coaster Tycoon Demo (v1.1) has been released. It is based on the final version of the game code and has a few fixes. Download it from the official website.
They fixed a number of my complaints including the annoying background music in-game. You can turn that off (or change it to anything) from the options. They also changed the coaster designer so that the elements are labeled instead of just pictures. They also fixed a number of graphics and performance bugs, which brings me to a failure:
The first demo auto configured my graphics settings to high and I was able to take them up a little too (without much of a performance loss). The 1.1 version set the graphics to medium on my computer. Turning some settings (not the resolution though) up slowed down the game. Not that I could notice much of a difference. But if you are a real stickler for quality visuals, you might be pissed.
