Game (patch) won't start under Windows NT

Post by sfjelde »

I have a problem when I'm starting the ttdpatch. At the same time as the start screen appears it stops and I can't do anything. The game isn't responding and I have to use ctrl-alt-del to get out of it again. I'm using the newest patch and am playing on NT, I hope not that is the problem....?

Found out that if I use the TTDX Configurator with almost all the settings turned on it happens, but if I use the original ttdpatch.cfg file everything seems normal. Is something in the configurator not working properly?

Maybe the win2000/xp compatible need to be switched off..

You can also try switching them on one by one.. and when it stops working. you know which option does not work... let us know if you find out ! :mrgreen:
Never fear, I is here...

also try disabling the music in the TT config program.

if that helps, read the TTDPatch FAQ about music under Win2k/XP.

NT doesn't need xp/2000 compatibility on. I have Windows ME (based on NT technology) and I don't use the xp/2k switch

Umm, that is not correct. WinME was not based on WinNT, it was based on Win98. WinXP was based on WinNT/Win2K.
This is why you don't need the XP/2K switch as you are using WinME. :)

Thats right. Wins 95, 98 and ME are Windows 9x's. NT 4, 2000 and XP are Windows NT's.

Well either way Windows ME SUCKS. I'd rather have 98.
