The developers also release major bug fixes, as needed, throughout the year. The game is continually updated and improved upon by its developers, and aims for, at the very least, a major version release every year. For that, the game’s community developed its own open-source versions of the graphics, sound and music. Obtaining the original media without piracy is nearly impossible, however. If you owned the original installation media, you can copy it over and enjoy the game just as you did a quarter of a century ago. It is 100% backwards compatible with all previous saved games, scenarios, graphics, sound and music. OpenTTD exists primarily to allow players of the original game to continue to play the game.
#OPENTTD SCENARIOS DRIVERS#
Over the next decade the game was left with unaddressed bugs, and eventually the installation drivers no longer worked for newer operating systems. OpenTTD is an open-source clone of the video game Transport Tycoon Deluxe released in 1994. After this, I’ll discuss the variety of content that is available. And, for that, you deserve a more nuanced explanation. One of the most frequently asked questions from new players of the game include, “What are the best mods?” and “What do I need to download?” To that, there are two blunt answers: there are no “best” mods, and you don’t “need” to download anything. If you have questions, I would advise posting them separately to its own dedicated topic rather than tacking it on here. This will be lengthy, and will take multiple posts, but hopefully by the time I get to the end of it, I will have created a very informative thread. This post is merely my own thoughts and insights, and do not represent the official policies or opinions of OpenTTD, it’s staff, developers or players. This guide is intended to be informative to new players regarding downloading new content for OpenTTD.
