OpenRCT2: open-source reimplementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 released in v0.5.5

OpenRCT2, the open-source reimplementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, has been released in version v0.5.5 “Conquistador Coffee”.

New in this release are plugin interfaces for exploring the footpath network as a graph, plus “Clear Scenery” can now also remove footpath additions and walls selectively. Several crash fixes are included as well, for example with rides using 0 or -1 water cars per train and rides pointing to a non-existing station object.

0.5.5 (2026-09-06)

Features:

  • [Plugin] Add PathNavigator and PathConnection for exploring the footpath network as a graph. [#26423]
  • [Plugin] Add map resize hook to scripting api. [#26827]
  • Clear Scenery can now remove footpath additions, and remove walls separately from small scenery. [#26877]
  • [Plugin] Allow getting and setting caret position for textbox while it is in focus. [#26938]

Improvements:

  • Unnamed rides in the original Added Attractions & Loopy Landscapes scenarios now use their official names from Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic. [#16269]
  • Add sprite font glyph for the Won (₩) and the Hryvnia (₴). [#19000, #21441]
  • Loading a park outside the game now sets the folder of the load/save window, as loading one in-game does. [#23872]
  • When dragging footpaths, they will now properly adapt to uneven terrain. [#25362]
  • The ride type selection cheat has been moved into the ride operations tab, the ride visiblity cheat into the ride colour/appearance tab. [#26099]
  • The save prompt now bounces the macOS dock icon, flashes the Windows taskbar button and marks Linux windows urgent when it blocks quitting an unfocused game. [#26931]
  • Ride names in scenarios can now be autopatched. [#26996]

Fixes:

  • Crash when loading custom image larger than 300 by 300 pixels. [Plugin] [#21632]
  • Network connections of plugins pile up every time another park is loaded. [#22854]
  • The convert command strips custom objects from the resulting park. [#25169]
  • Freeze when trying to download all objects on save where they are missing. [#26056]
  • Opening rides with 0 or -1 water cars per train crash the game. [#26802]
  • Crash when a ride points to a non-existing station object. [#26811]
  • Water rides ignore zero clearances, preventing adjacent terrain modifications and building them anywhere. [#26816]
  • Making a ride visible or invisible is always denied in multiplayer. [#26903]
  • When showing missing objects, some types show up as ‘Unknown type’. [#26965]
  • Windows are moved off-screen when mouse is released outside of the game window. [#27004]
  • [Plugin] Transparent plugin sprites do not work correctly in software rendering mode. [#27023]
