There's a suggested fix for just this on the Github discussion. https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/pull/12546#issuecomment... According to their quick test, this will definitely result in guests solving mazes a lot faster.

Very complete. I've not noticed any deficiencies at all. They added a lot of features too: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Changes-to-origina... If you're a fan of the original games, I can't think of any reason to not play them…

For those wondering i'm assuming it's this repo: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2 It looks like it requires a local copy of the original Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 to work. Why is that?
