Game don't starts (No hardware acceleration detected)
« on: July 31, 2011, 12:43:07 pm »
Dear People,

I have played UFO:AI before on my PC (Windows), then I installed Linux (I don't played UFO:AI on it), and now I have installed Windows again. I want to start UFO:AI, but the following message appears:

Code: [Select]

No hardware acceleration detected

Shutdown

Setting 16 Bit didn't work. I have read a lot in your Forum, but I didn't learn what to do. If I look at System control in Windows, i can see that I use RADEON X600/X550 Series and RADEON X600/X550. I have installed 10-2_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc.exe, the catalyst driver suite from AMD. It still don't works.

I use Windows XP SP2.


Could you please help me? Thank you.

it still uses "GDI Generic" for rendering - so i suppose the driver is not working correctly

now i will try to use the display driver from http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Legacy/Pages/radeonaiw_xp.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.13&lang=English without catayst (second download option). I will tell you if it works.

i tested it and it don't works, exactly the same problem.

There's an other thing that makes me wonder:

i downloaded ufo:ai here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ufoai/files/UFO_AI%202.x/2.2/ ufoai-2.2-win32.exe 

but if i browse through the files of ufo:ai, i can not find sound-files like ogg, 3d-files like 3ds or obj or so on. why? Did i download the fallse item?

Oh, 2.2 is a very old release, its almost 4 years old. Download the newest official release here (2.3.1): http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Download
You can dl also the 2.4 dev snapshots there. (lower section of the dl page)
