The install is perfect, but when I try run the game, the display stay black, later the display back to the desktop, and nothing... I see in task manager and the process not listed.
No errors appear...

Thank you...

please try to extract the base/*zip files

in a way that you have:
base/maps
base/music
base/textures
base/sounds
[....]

and retry please

please also have a look at the ufoconsole.log which should be in your home dir (application data) in ufoai/.ufoai/base

thanks

I tried some of the stuff you suggested, but no dice.  Here's the snippet of the log that seemed most useful:

...could not set to language:
...could not set to system language
Console initialized.
couldn't load history
------- Loading ref_gl.dll -------
ref_gl version: GL 0.12
Initializing OpenGL display
...setting mode 6: 1024 768 FS
...attempting fullscreen
...using desktop frequency: 50 hz
...using desktop display depth of 32
...calling CDS: ok
GLimp_Init() - no hardware acceleration detected
VID_CreateWindow() - GLimp_InitGL failed
ref_gl::R_SetMode() - invalid mode
Initializing OpenGL display
...setting mode 3: 640 480 W
ref_gl::R_Shutdown() - wglMakeCurrent failed
...setting windowed mode
GLimp_Init() - no hardware acceleration detected
VID_CreateWindow() - GLimp_InitGL failed
ref_gl::R_SetMode() - could not revert to safe mode
ref_gl::R_Init() - could not R_SetMode()

Seems like OpenGL isn't working very well.  I'm running on a thinkpad T43P, so the FireGL v3100 card in it should be able to do OpenGL just fine.  Could it be that the Vista drivers don't have OpenGL support just yet?

I went to ATI and installed the Radeon Mobility X300 drivers (they didn't have any FireGL drivers for some reason, so I used the enthusiast equivalent), and the game works now.

But now, I'm not sure what make the game work, because I extract the *.zip files and update the ATI drivers...
But now, works perfectly...

Thanks a lot,

I tried unzipping the files before, but doing that alone did not work.  Not sure if only replacing the driver will fix things.  If not, then there could be a bug in the installer.  Ah well, it's still a dev build, so I'm not overly concerned as long as I can get it to work!

Hi there.  I've been running ufo:ai on vista too, but I've been running RC6, not the latest beta.  I don't remember any specific install issues, but I've installed quite a bit of software and lots of issues have come up.  If there was something amiss, I fixed it without a big hassle.

I'm going to grab up the latest beta and try it out for a bit.  I've been experiencing lock ups of my video driver (but vista resets it w/o crashing) but that probably has more to do with this laptop's video arrangement.  Anyways, I think this game is a great piece of work.  Improving on a really excellent game is hard to do, but it's obvious you'll have succeeded as soon as you're 'finished' (the quotes are there cause I know how these open source things go, you're never fully finished until it has every appropriate feature imagined).

So thanks, and though I'm not a strong programmer, I'll do what I can to chip in.
