New install?

Is anyone else getting a request to install the game when trying to open it? Never had this happen before and I'm a bit hesitant to just do this. Any recommendations?

Recommendations? Yes!
Make sure to make manual backup of your Planet Coaster files, such as your saved parks, blueprints, TMT items and custom media (music, billboard images and videos).

In the event that files get deleted due to this issue, you can restore them with this backup.

Good luck!

PS. I haven't updated the list with the location of TMT items but as long as you're subscribed to TMT items from others you should be able to get them back as long as they are still available on the workshop.
