i had same problem on my little netbook. it's opengl settings specific to your video card. i am running on a acer d255e netbook, graphics card is a "Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 3150"

just mess with opengl settings (on intel graphics utility it's under 3d settings) just drop everything off, or low, then tinker till it stops working. then you know what it is on YOUR machine. good luck guys

it is a graphics driver issue, seen on low end gfx cards. means your opengl settings too high for your gfx card to handle... short of writing a registry file for EACH INDIVIDUAL graphics card model. nothing dev's can do for this one...

and can you make it take account of stun weapons. say 10% chance with stun rod of taking alien, 50% with laser, 75% with gas.

how about some randoms.

aliens = 1 to 15?  (sets number of aliens)
difficulty = -2 -1 0 1 2 (damage/defence modifier?)
humans = set as whatever was sent...
defenceP = 0 to 100 (chance that a soldier is hiding behind a wall)
defenceA = 0 to 100 (alien chance of taking cover)
attackP= 0 to 100 (chance a soldier will fire)
attackA= 0 to 100 (alien chance of firing)
hit chanceP= player's soldiers accuracy added together then divided between them (average...)
hit chanceA= alien version of hit chance

so the working out would be like this
[1] means the number the random got, for readability


begin loop humanturn( upto value of humans )

attackP [10] so run random between 0 and 100, if equals 0 to 10, player attacked.
hitchanceP [50] random between 0 and 100. if equals between 0 and 50. player aimed at alien.
defenceA [20] random between 0 and 100. if equals between 0 and 20. the alien was behind cover...

if begin loop less then humans value (how any humans were sent...)

then goto humanturn...

else continue to alienturn

begin loop alienturn ( upto value of aliens )

attackA [30] random between 0 and 100, if equals 0 to 30, attack happening
hitchanceA [5] random between 0 and 100, if equals 0 to 5, alien aimed at player
defenceP [20] random between 0 and 100, if equals 0 to 20, the human was behind cover...

if alienturn equals aliens,
set humanturn 0
set alienturn 0
goto humanturn

if aliens dead, show victory
if humans dead, show defeat




this should of course help for the basics. you of course need to take note of weapons, if a team can even attack, how much ammo used, what weapon used, the armor... you know the rest. hope it helps...
