Trouble starting 2.2

[Dream Worker]

My solution
1.

put colors in 16 bit instead of 32 bit

I started the game but it run windowed. Hmm, I tryed to run Safe Mode - ok but no sound.
I looked at parameters of a command line of Safe Mode Icon: +set vid_fullscreen 1 +set r_mode 6 +set snd_init 0
2. I have changed cmd line parametres to
"C:\Program Files\UFOAI-2.2\ufo.exe" +set vid_fullscreen 1 +set r_mode 6 +set snd_init 1"
Now game works properly.

Thanks for the decision. (короче по русски напишу). спасобо земляк, я уже сам до его реализации дошел, а вот в командной строке, только узнал, еще раз thanks very much.

Found a FIX

Short tutorial:

1. U need catalyst drivers installiation package <=7.9
2. Start it, and dont press any buttons and dont' install it (u just need some file that will be unpacked )
3. Go to c:\ATI\SUPPORT\7-8_xp32_dd_50960\Driver\XP_INF\B_51322\ (example for 7.8 )
4. Copy atioglxx.dl_ to another directory
5. Use in cmd.exe this command:

expand atioglxx.dl_ atioglxx.dll


6. Copy atioglxx.dll to UFO directory
7. Enjoy

Tested by me on 7.12 and 8.1

What exactly do u mean by copy to another directory?

[Redtide]

I tried this and it said "can't open input file: atioglxx.dl_

You probably didn't do the expand step.

[Redtide]

Actually that is what step I'm doing when I get the error. Is there a specific place I should put the file before I expand it?

Thanks Fixer!  That fixed my problem with updated Catalyst drivers.

I also have a Radeon X700 card.  Haven't been able to startup the game at all.

Have tried every trick/tip in this thread.  And have tried just about every driver out there.  I either get the 'no hardware detection' message, or the process simply dies after the startup process.

I was looking sooooo forward to this game, as xcom is one of my childhood memories.

Anyone manage to find a 100% solution for this yet?

You might have some luck with the 2.3 test installers (http://mattn.ninex.info/). Otherwise, I don't know.

Sweet.  I am busy grabbing it now.  I will report back to you guys whether the new rendering engine has any effect on this issue.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

The dev 2.3 version works 100%!

Nice!

Ok, now let me go try and play this bad boy.  :-D

[BTAxis]

Just keep in mind that the 2.3 version is a development version. Stuff may work differently, or not properly at all (especially campaign related stuff).

[iaresean]

Hehe.

Yeah, thanks.  I picked up on that pretty fast.  Ran into a few 'dev' type situations.  :-D

Was dissappointed that I couldn't play it completely, but I was very excited by what I saw.  I will wait patiently for the official 2.3 release.
