Frequent OVL Opening Issues

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Not Present

If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your OVL because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: Another OVL-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
