Hi Diedel!

I just gave your v1.5.49 a try (WinXP sp2, NVidia GF3Ti200, latest drivers / patches). I found the following:

* Loading a player with screen resolution other than the default results in a blank screen with just the mouse cursor to look at.

* Creating a new player lets you see the initial game menu, but starting a game results in a blank screen. Things seem to be working (shooting, moving around, getting shot at, hearing sounds) - so the game hasn't crashed. There is just nothing to see.

The previous version I tried was 1.5.44, which had no problems in my single player games.

That should obviously have gone into the bug thread.

Depending on your screen resolution....
Did you try: ;-fullscreen -1024x768 in the d2x.ini file?
I have had that prob before (in an older version) and found that if you set it to window it seems to fix it.
If it does fix it... Then try the fullscreen again.

*NOTE*
I've tryed the latest version 1.5.49 and had no probs that you seem to be having.

Right you are! Nice workaround. The original problem remains however; there must be some bug in the code that handles switching from default resolution to whatever is defined in the .plr file.

Now ask your self why there are three d2x-xl threads here:

D2X-XL bug reports
D2X-XL questions
D2X-XL suggestions

and then tell me why you opened an extra thread?

I already did ask myself that question - see above
