I just took a look at your zoo. One thing that stands out to me is the fact that you used the zoo walls as one side of your exhibits. I've had issues with this before. One of our club zoos was crashing due to this issue. I moved all those exhibits one tile away from the zoo wall and it stopped crashing. You may want to try that and see if it makes a difference. -

i used the Crater Lake map. is that one of the ones that crashes? also... it looks like my zoo's walls themselves are one tile away from the edge of the map. is it supposed to be like that? is that what's causing the crashing? -

Which zoo map did you use as your base? There are a few that are known to crash. Two main ones are Jungle River and Lake Resort. You also may want to check out this link: http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/index.php?board=246.0 -
Hi! So I spent like seven hours on this Zoo a few days ago, and I'm kind of obsessed with it. I'm on year six! It's actually profitable! I've played this game since before I was in Kindergarten (I'm 27 now) and this is the most proud of a zoo I've ever been! It looks so good! Devastatingly, something seems to now be wrong with the file, and I don't know what it is. The game loads fine, but it plays for maybe a minute tops before the entire game closes. I don't even get an error message when it does. I play completely vanilla -- no mods, nothing. My game doesn't crash like this for anything else, just this particular zoo, and I don't have any backups. Is there any way to find out why it's not working and fix it? I'm so desperate for a fix that I've made an account here to ask for help. Thank you so much for reading. <3 Black Forest Zoo.zoo

I have Planet Zoo. It's ok but still like Zoo Tycoon 1 better.
-
I started to replay one of my old games back from Commodore 64 days. Thats about it. I have to browse the FREE games section. I would love to play Planet Zoo but my puter would not take it.
-
Yeah I still have my old kindle but I never read books on it. Mainly I just use it these days to play music on Pandora while I am working in the kitchen

I play several games via Steam. They've got some interesting ones. I have not tried Zoo Tycoon yet tho'.
-
Steam is like a Kindle (if you know what those are). On a Kindle you can buy books that get sent to you for download, but you can only download them where Kindle is available. Steam is similar, but it's games instead of digital books.
-
Thanks Goosifer. I really know little about Steam and how it works. I prefer having the actual game disks and I am only going by what my friend says. He plays everything on Steam.
-
Main reason is if the game disk I have ever gets damaged to the point where it does not play.
-
Steam is just a launch client. Since Zoo Tycoon predates Steam, it doesn't know Steam exists and therefore shouldn't have any of these problems. There is no "steam version" for either Zoo Tycoon. Still, it's nice to launch the game via Steam if you want to keep organized with your other games. It will also track your play hours if you do it that way.

Why bother when you can still play the game without Steam?

So I started to play a few games on Steam (much to my distaste for Steam-like sites.) But anyway a buddy of mine said if I start up Zoo Tycoon, Steam will ask me if I want to play the game via their site instead of off the game disk. My question is, if I did that would the game except the free downloads from here? And if so, how would I put them into the steam version.
