Describe the crash. When does it crash? What does it say?
To run the game, be sure you are NOT running the GameGFX.exe program. but rather TTDPatchw.exe.
Did you set the game to be fullscreen, using game cursor, using the game-settings tool (icon)?
Try running mkpttxt.exe, in the TTD folder.

no no no no, that will not help, much more possible is that it will create other problems !!
better deleting ttdpttxt.dat

If you get no crashlog it seems your using an old version of TTDPatch
a) get lastestw.zip
b) del ttdpttxt.dat
c) rename newgrfw.cfg to newgrfwold.cfg
d) use notepad to edit the ttdpatch.cfg
set "forcerebuildovl" to on
e) start ttconfig, switch to window mode and say apply, quit the app
f) Start TTDPatch with ttdpatchw.exe
g) check if you have the right version, if it doesn't say something with alpha at the title, you made something wrong!
Both Systems need the exact same version of TTD, TTDPatch + the ttdpatch config, the grf files, the newgrfw.cfg config.
To the other members here: First try, always without grf files, if MP then works, then we can start adding grfs, ok?

This is my screen its the latest version I heard but I'll also describe the errror: I run ttd in screen mode 5 on al pc (other modes doesnt work either) without sound (but doesnt matter) than I run 2 player (I tried all ipx utp but doesnt matter) than when one of us buil a roadvehicle like a bus or truck the game stops andt the onnly option to stop it is reset.

forcerebuildovl off

on
but I suggest deleting ttdpatch.cfg so newest TTDPatch will create a default one, then try again
remember that both PC in multiplayer should be with the same instalation(the best if other one could copy whole TTD directory from the first one)
and the best if you both could use newest DirectX

I did completly coppy it and let the patch generate newgraphichs.cfg and the direct x is the sam (9.0) but thanks annyway
I also downloaded transporttycoon dleuxe from other locations but that also doesnt work so it must be the patch I hope this problem will be fixed soon I really like to play on LAN again.
