My system is Win10, and this happens while using the OpenGL patch found here:
verokster.blogspot.com/2019/10/railroad-tycoon-ii-gl-wrapper-patch.html
Every time I am about to win the medal in the first mission of the campaign, the game hangs for 3 seconds then disappears/crashes.
I am using the OpenGL patch with no compatibility options turned on (with compatibility options on it crashes at startup)
Trying to win a medal without the patch under compatibility option: WinXP SP2 makes it work fine and display the video and message and continue on to the next level.
I was thinking that because it crashes just before going to display the video, maybe I'm missing an outdated video codec or something like that? (for modern ones, I have the K-Lite codec pack on my PC) It could be a problem with OpenGL too.
I would be grateful if you could solve it or even just try the patch yourselves and see if the medal part works for you.
Thanks.
UPDATE 1: deleting RT2/anim/scenwin.smk makes it work, with a blank screen where the video is supposed to be. Still unsolved though.
UPDATE 2: losing the mission also triggers a crash. maybe these two videos are different than the intro/mission start ones?
