Game crashes at startup.

[Polish Renegade]

Hi,

I just downloaded the latest version, 2.2 release candidate 1 and the game crashes at startup. I haven't tried any other versions and its the first time ever I try playing this game (since the original release of the game). All install options except the install directory were left by default (it did download the videos).

Here is the log from warzone2100.rpd:

That is the complete crash dump file?

Anyway, your problem is with the ATI drivers. (atioglxx.dll)
I suggest you try different ones.

yes, thats all that was in the file. (well, there was the same error 3 times, for my 3 attempts..)

The only thing that I can do it to revert to older versions. It seems that ATI is no longer supporting X-series video cards (latest version of catalyst is 9.5 yet they give 9.3 for the X1600 and other "X" vid cards).
