This page collects bugs and limitations that are present in the unmodified version of RCT2, but not mentioned in the readme file or in the GUI. For example, the limit of 128 rides per scenario does not count, since it's in the GUI of the scenario editor. The idea is that bugs and limitations like these may not be known to everyone since they are not that obvious.
The difference between a bug and a limitation is that a bug is unintended and a limitation isn't.
Bugs introduced by OpenRCT2 should be reported under Issues.
# Bugs
* On long queue lines, guest will sometimes enter the queue path without joining the actual queue. Instead, they will walk to the entrance and then return.
* Some rides are twice in the scenario editor selection list. Only of them can be selected, but when you go to the next step and them back, the selected rides counter at the bottom will count both of them.
* When you select a saved ride with certain scenery, such as swamp goo, and hover it over the map without actually placing, the 'ghost' of the goo (the construction marker) doesn't go away. It can even be sold, although it hasn't cost you anything. This allows you to make a lot of money in a short time. A video with an explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpSpAXuqRGo
* Alleged [assembly bug](https://github.com/IntelOrca/OpenRCT2/pull/397).
# Limitations
* Only 255 rides and shops can be built in a saved game.
* Queues cannot get longer than 1000 people.
* The maximum of years RCT2 supports is 8192. This means that 31 October, Year 8192 will be followed by 1 March, Year 1. Likewise, rides that are 8192 years old will be considered brand new the following year.
* There are two Powered Launch modes in RCT2. One where the train passes the station (like the Turbine in the Six Flags Belgium scenario) and one where it doesn't (the famous Shuttle Loop from RCT1). Which one is available depends on the track type and is not changeable using the GUI (but can be changed by hacking the SV6 file or using a trainer).

* Alleged [assembly bug](https://github.com/IntelOrca/OpenRCT2/pull/397).
* Peep AI pathfinding bug resulting in large numbers of park guests becoming 'lost' and walking in very tight loops. Causes a rapid degradation in Park Rating.
