How to open TP4 file?
An often recurring problem with RollerCoaster Tycoon Track Picture Format is that TP4 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TP4 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TP4 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install RollerCoaster Tycoon

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TP4 with RollerCoaster Tycoon. Below is a list of programs that support the file TP4.
Programs to open TP4 file
Remember to download programs supporting TP4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RollerCoaster Tycoon with TP4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TP4 file still does not use the RollerCoaster Tycoon program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RollerCoaster Tycoon application as the default for handling the TP4 file.
Step 3. Update RollerCoaster Tycoon to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RollerCoaster Tycoon program, it is possible that RollerCoaster Tycoon Track Picture Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Atari, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TP4 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The TP4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TP4 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TP4 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TP4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TP4 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TP4 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Chris Sawyer Productions
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TP4 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TP4 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TP4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TP4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TP4 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
