The latest development version works. However, there doesn't seem to be any lighting/shading effects. I don't know if that's the way the game is supposed to be, at this point.

please try an updated version of the SDL.dll ( www.libsdl.org )

I already tried replacing the SDL DLLs in the UFO AI folder with the the version 1.2.13 DLLs from the libsdl.org site. That led to no change in the reported version of SDL. I found that strange. Perhaps you guys understand the behavior better than me, but I was under the impression that DLLs in the same directory as the executable are usually used first over the same DLL elsewhere on the system. I tried doing some development with SDL myself, which could mean that it is using my old copies, but that seems to be in contradiction to normal DLL loading behavior, as I understand it. Is that correct?

Unless someone can point me to a compiled version of UFO 2.3 for windows, I'll try version 2.2.1 and see if that fixes anything.

I'll try version 2.3. I just saw the thread.

2.2, that was the latest stable release on the UFO AI site when I got it.

Was that his problem, that he didn't have the latest drivers installed? Because it seems like he was using the latest drivers. I am sure I have the latest drivers installed too, though, looking online it seems like some other people are having problems with Radeon cards with the latest drivers still reporting inaccurate OpenGL support. I don't have the log here, but I remember it was just about character for character the same. Still, I'll post my log when I get the chance.

I am having the exact same problem.

I am using an ATI Radeon 9550, on XP. I am using an ASUS widescreen monitor, and so I am using their latest drivers for my card.
