RCT3 Help with patch - Page 1

RCT3 Help with patch

I could not ask this question at the Atari forums because I have no real email to verify myself. I am playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and was wondering if anybody here could help me with this. I am trying to apply a Gold patch to fix a nighttime lag bug, but it keeps saying "cannot locate RCT3 version Gold0" on my computer. I know I have the right patch for the right game but I dont know how to fix the problem. I am considering un and re-installing the game but will it delete my theme parks? Help much appreciated!

Yes. I have a totally freakn awesome Fireworks Display that needs to (obviously) be played at night and I need the patch to fix the lag! So far, I can only play it on a blank test map to view it, not at my incredibely cool park (lags)!

I must un-install it to re-install it. The question is, will it delete my save data when I do so? I cannot afford to rebuild my entire theme park.
