Description

OS: Windows 10
Version: e.g. 0.2.1
Commit/Build: 8ac731e (Latest release)

I was working on a park - and I hit the max number of rides (255). The first time I tried to add a ride, I got the standard "You're at the max limit" - but then the second time, I tried to add a ride, and the game crashed entirely.

I did delete a ride or two and try to add a ride to the same save provided, and that did not crash the game.

  • [No] Reproducible in RCT2 (vanilla)?
  • [No] Specific to multiplayer?

Research direction

Start by loading the provided save game and reviewing crash 1.zip and crash 2.zip. Reproduce the second attempt to add a ride after reaching the 255-ride limit on Windows 10 using build 8ac731e. Done means the game no longer crashes in that scenario and the max-limit behavior remains intact.
