DOS TTD patch 20r1 crash at startup

Hello there.

When I try running the ttdpach.exe for DOS version from the ttdpt20r1.zip file, the game crashes at statup.
It never happened before with the previous patch versions. I have ttdpt20b3.zip and earlier.

At the startup, I get the following message:

Abnormal program termination: Memory protecion fault
CS:EIP = 000Fh:000F02DAh
Result: [error!]

...

I installed TTDPatch Starter, v 0.9.91, and it recognizes as latest patch version 2.0beta1 [16july2003]

Actually, I can run without problem the ttdpatch 20b3, but when using that EXE, I can't use Michael Blunck's DB set (it says error loading graphics: wrong .GRF version "newgrf/dbset.grf" )
the DBset version is 0.5 (latest)

Other than that, all the rest of the *.GRF files work without problem.

I couldn't find any topic for this at WIKI's manual nor FAQ, not even at this forums

The DB set was so cool, please, if anyone has any idea what this problem can be, drop a line

Thank you

TTDPatch starter is obsolete, use TTDXC instead.

Does it make a crash###.txt crash log? If so, please attach it here.

No, with 20r1 there isn't even crash log, I think because it just can't even start the game... I add a creenshot of what I get there.

The problem comes with the 20b3 version and the v0.5 DBset togheter:
if I use the normal dbset.grf, the game pops up a red window at the main menu telling "Error loading graphics: newgrf/dbset.grf (wrong .GRF version)"
But when I try to use the dbset_s.grf file (the one that soesn't use the backlight feature), the game crashes as I try to start a new game, and I get a crash000.txt log (attached too)

I'm using the DOS version of TTDx and Windows 98

Patch 2.0.1 released >>NO PROBLEM<<
