Please keep all your posts in the same place, since we have to ask each and every time the same information. :stare:

Once again, 1.x and 2.0.x and 2.1.x should all be installed in *DIFFERENT* directories.
What kind of machine you got? What OS? What video card?

For beta 2.1, run the game with switch of --debug all on the command line, or add that to the END of the shortcut.
Then post stdout.txt & stderr.txt which are located in the same directory as you installed 2.1 warzone2100.exe into.
And by end, I mean if shortcut is : "c:\what path you picked\warzone2100.exe" change it to "c:\what path you picked\warzone2100.exe" --debug all

well to be honest i didnt know/forgot that they must be place in different dirrectorie...i assume is ok to make 2 folders in WZ 2100 main direcgtory and place them in t here.....OK, so...when i run the 2.0.10 it says (on stderr) error: Error: SDL_SetVideoMode failed (No video mode large enough for 1152x864). and when i run the beta 4 it says: error : [screenInitialise] Error: Video mode 1360x762@32bpp is not supported!.....so: my OS is WIN XP, SP2, video card : nvidia 6600 GS...i assume is a problem with game resolution, isnt it ?...my native screen resolution is 1360x762 on 32 bpp

hehe..ok...so i enter the game and switch the resolution from there to 1360x768...and it seems to work fine...one minor feedback: when the game loads, the image flickers (i hope this is the correct english word)..thats not such a bad thing (the load takes 2-3 seconds - after that everything is ok)....ok..why the campaign video seqences dont work...i have the subtitles on themn( that is: Team alpha nears its destination...etc)....but no video and no audio briefing (i manually copied the sequences from cd to main directory\sequences)!?

You can remove the --debug all now, since that will really slow down the game. It makes some huge log files!

The game *does* work in any resolution that your video card supports.
I think your nvidia 6600 GS either don't have enough memory, or the video drivers need upgrading.

For the videos, the ones from the original game do not work as is.
They need to be converted to ogg/theora format, and then a FMV patch needs to be installed.
2.1 beta 4 doesn't have the patch yet to play the vids.

2.2 should have it though.

You mean that in the intel screen, when you click the icon for the thing you researched, it crashes?
If you get crashes then please post/attach the stderr.txt & stdout.txt files in your warzone directory.

Hmm? Who said anything about watching the movies in game? There is no code yet in the repository.
There is a patch @ GNA patch tracker, with some work, will allow you to see them, but it has some issues.

You have to wait for the next beta.
