YAY so I am not the only one!

Note, tried on the mods and one the regular version, all the same problem.
*EDIT*(problem: When WZ2100 starts all is normal, and menu exsists but cannot see the words of the menu, they are clickable though)

I dont know what I could tell you to help you find the problem But I could send you a error output if you can tell me where to find it.

OK Downloaded, warzone2100_TRUNK-r5582-debug.exe menu works fine, so they have noticed...
Don't remember how I got the file... but now I am having an error when building in Cam_01.
I tried to open the menu the first time and got this error
error just after building Reproduceable.JPG
, then tried to just build a Oil extractor and got the same error, second time no build menu.
Strait exit out of game.

I FOUND THE FIX!
The problem is that the Main Menu is using a font that isn't installed on our computers.
First, go into My Computer and find this file:"C:\Program Files\Warzone 2100\fonts\DejaVuSansMono.ttf"
Then, copy it into "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts" and you're golden!
(Although I still need to start a match just to make sure everythings fine)

Testing Beta 4 wz2.1

Post by craigengbrecht »

Also in skirmish, I tried to run the preview map and it crashed just after displaying it, about 1.5 seconds after...
No error screen this time around.

Windows packager has been informed of the fonts issue. I expect an -r1 revision of the installers shortly.

The possibility of using multiple turrets was added in the earlier 2.1 betas, that means you could use two turrets over a single heavy / super heavy body. However, this feature came out to be glitchy, and somehow unbalancing, so devs decided to remove it from the game.

New installers are provided, you can just redownload the installer and it'll fix your problem.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I still have the same problem, even though I think I did everything right.

I downloaded and installed from the newer (2.1beta4r1) installer, I even tried manually installing the newest full DejaVu fontpack in my windows fonts directory. I also tried removing the DejaVu fonts from my windows fonts directory and having nothing there, or copying the fonts that come with the new installer there. I tried replacing the fonts that came with the newer installer with standard arial fonts I have. I tried installing a new trunk version (r5777).
I still get empty blue boxes and no text in the game in 2.1beta4.

I have Windows XP SP3, running on a Fujitsu Siemens AMILO L7310 notebook.
Renderer: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP/MMX/SSE (64 MB); newest driver (6.14.10.342, 2006.11.10.) OpenGL Version: 1.2 (and 66% of 1.3 and 53% of 1.4 according to OpenGL Extensions Viewer).

The stable 2.0.10 doesn't have this problem and runs nicely on my machine.

Help / any ideas?
