I, however, swore that I would not get it until Clickbeetle finished the nVidia fix that he might not do.

If it is ready I will put it in the database....I can't test much because of my piece of crap nVidia video card, but what I have seen so far was OK. I can't tell if DarkRats replicas are still there because my nVidia fix hides them.....Are they still there?


I just read the post above mine and agree that there needs to be a proper nVidia fix FIRST as about half of us have 6xxxx cards and better.

Yay! A longer wait...

You could always upload the current version without the fix and update it when the fix is finished for those of us who have a decent video card, but that would be unfair on those who dont have a good video card.

Oh No...

I just downloaded DSL TC 2.0, and encountered EXACTLY the same problem that I faced in 1.2. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Strangely enough, AI vs AI battles now work. But it stil crashes if I try and enter Team HQ (Note: I can reach the Team Select Screen; It crashes when I try and view the teams bots) How can I fix this!!!

Since it works on other peoples computers, are there any settings that cause it to shutdown? Everything I try has no effect.

It could be a problem with the UI.  Supposedly that is the difference between CD and downloaded versions.

Try copy/pasting the teamhq folder in your UI folder from your stock RA2 into your DSL RA2 and see if it works.

Also, can you use the Rookies bots in battle?

Ill try that. Also, this is a really stupid glitch but the new icon doesn't seem to be working.

Ok. After a bit of work I have figured out that whenever the stock Botlab and TeamHQ folders in the UI folder are replaced, the game crashes upon entering Team HQ.

If you replace the DSL botlab and TeamHQ folders with the stock ones then it should work, but you won't get the new TeamHQ and Botlab Graphics.

So, apparently the current version of DSL 2.0 doesn't work with the downloaded version.  The difference between the two versions must be more subtle than folder and file names.

FOR NOW, I think I'll make a version that doesn't include the new graphics.  The game should still be playable for DL users.

Once (and if) I figure out how to make the graphics work on the DL version, I'll upload that.

The no-graphics version should be up soon.

Just crossed my mind that what if those .bmp files are coded on wrong way? Because on .jpg files there are at least 5 different types of them now.

I think if those .bmp files are bit changed along the time and now the game doesn't like at them because they use bit different code inside the picture files.

Just a thought.
