Impossible to start TTD 13.0

Post by usem »

Hello,
I loved this game, playing it for several days, then I leaved it off for about 2 weeks. Yesterday I tried to start it and I found the following problem.
As soon as the game loads (black window) a prompt appears: "OpenTTD requires a graphics package to work, but none could be found. Allow OpenTTD to download and install a graphics package?"
I clicked Yes, but after few seconds the black window dropped and nothing else happened.
I tried to remove and install it again, but nothing changed. :(
System: Windows 11 Home. Internet connection OK.
Have you an idea to fix this problem?

Thank you very much.

Before I make a suggestion, how did you originally install the game?

Hi,
I installed the game by normally starting the Windows installer, and following the instructions step by step.

Download the latest version of OpenGFX here:
https://www.openttd.org/downloads/openg ... ses/latest

Unpack it and install it in the directory C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\OpenTTD

Thank you for reply.
If you mean "Copy the OpenGfx-7.1.tar" file in the \...\OpenTTD directory, I've already done, unfortunately without success.
Otherwise, please explain me more details.
Thanks again!

Hello

The directory C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\OpenTTD is the wrong place. Basesets goes to the subdirectory basesets, so the complete path should be C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\OpenTTD\basesets.

Tschö, Auge
