And have you made any modifications, or is this right out of the box run?

*EDIT*
Can you post the console info that lists your processor, video, and audio drivers?

Make sure you delete all the .dso files. Set your resolution variable to your 800 x 600, and fullscreen variable to false.

go to example\main.cs

Make sure $displayHelp is set to false.

It seems like you aren't making it through the engine initialization, and never making it to your mod folder's main.cs.

I did...

$defaultGame = "starter.RTS";
$displayHelp = false;

but it does not work.. :(

Have you tried merging the RTS engine code with TGE 1.4 and running that? Since the RTS kit was shipped with a pre-compiled executable from TGE 1.3, there's a chance a bug was fixed and your problems can be solved. Try a merge process, shouldn't take long.

Before I post on how to WinMerge, have you tried running from the engine? Or recompiling?

I can't get to the thread, but there's a great chance it's better than my approach, since it's recommended by an employee. =)

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
