Did you remember to reinstall drivers for your hardware?

here is my exact error.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information

I updated to SP3, reinstalled all drivers and did windows update. Im very confused on why it wont work!

runtime drivers?

Just go to windows update, get the latest SP 3, and it should be in that.

If not, I guess you mean the redist. .dlls from MS? If so, which ones? DX? MSVC? .NET? there are lots of them.

wz2100 stock with no mods or updates runs in singleplayer mod with no problems.

What version of the game is that? Looks like the original?
Update your DX drivers.

Our Warzone 2100 is a stand alone game. It is no update for the retail version.

But i played 2.1B4 the same way i installed 2.1b5, just added it to the pumkin studios folder.

Are u telling me that i can play warzone just using the 30mb or so of information that u have on the site?

Im gonna go update my Direct X Drivers, becuase im not sure about the accuracy of kamaze's post??

Yep. It turns out that most of the 1 GB of the original game was the cinematics and the other extras. 30 MB or so sounds about right for the game itself.

And even with the the FMVs we distribute soon, the whole game (with FMVs / Music) / installer will only have ~250 MiB, because the video codec we use (Theora) compresses way better than RPL back then. The base game without FMVs and music is only ~30 MiB.

Compresses "way better" in terms of file size. Quality, on the other hand...
