Transport Tycoon Forums

I get unable to set up svga display when i start trasnport tycoon after that nothing happends. im on w2k please help me.

Hi and welcome,

I'm somewhat confused about your question !

Is this switch on in your ttdpatch.cfg file:
win2k on

To start TTD you must have TTD for Windows
and TTDPatch with 'win2k' switch 'on' ...

You mean you can't go fullscreen?

It's easy; alter the compatibility mode settings for ttdpatchw.exe. Change it to either Windows 95 or Windows 98/Me. And ofcourse setup full screen mode in the configuration utility.

And it needs to be the Windows version of TTD. The DOS version doens't work at all on Win2000/XP

I heard that with newest alpha you don't need to set compatibility mode

First w2k on is set, the problem i get is when i press the tycoon.exe button i get upp a dos window that has the text unabe to the svga screen and after that nothing happends, the game dont start, im a bit confused what TTD stands for, what files i will download and what version of transport tycoon i need for it.

you have DOS version of TTD ... which not work on 2000/XP .... you must have Windows version of TTD .... (download it, links in 'Useful Links' topic)

After a looooooooooooooooooooooong while i figure that out and now its working, talking about flashbacks when u start the game, big thanx and u will se me here again having strange problems and stupid questions.

good it work you know ....

We should make a standard questions form, the moment you talked about tycoon.exe, everyones euro fell

if there were only Win version it would be very easier

Well not really, because most of the "altering" of the game is done in the DOS version...

Cloaken, I have the same problem as yours. When I try starting Transport Tycoon (original, NOT deluxe) on my Win2k, all I get is a DOS window with "Unable to set up SVGA display" written on it. The game won't even start.

Could you please tell me how did you solve your problem? I really love this game, I recently switched to win 2k and can't play it anymore!!

Thanks in advance!

TTO don't work on Win2k/XP .... only way is to use VirtualPC (I think) or better to create 2nd partition with DOS boot
