[Problem Solved!] ATi Radeon = Pain in the buttock by toddiot on 10-13-2005 at 10:03 PM

I bought RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 from my school's bookorders (that's 30 bucks). I wait for ages because it was so close to Thanksgiving and the companey didn't send anything out till the week after.

I finally get it, race home to install it, only to find out that I need ATi Radeon. Still very optimistic, I search Google for "ATi Radeon free download". I click the link from MajorGeeks.com and wait for it to download (that's almost 5 hours I waited!). When it finishes, it tells me that it can't install because I don't have Radeon on my system -- it was an update patch and I had just waited 5 hours for it to download!

Does anyone else have RCT3 and had this type of problem? Does anyone know where to get Radeon? (The package says "64MB ATI Radeon recommended".)

Thanks for any help you may have!

Err, "64MB ATI Radeon" is a 64MB graphics card, a piece of hardware, not a piece of software. The stuff you downloaded was probably the drivers.

Thanks :D.
