I saw a copy of TTD today in PC World (UK) and was tempted to buy it to
replace a DOS copy I have from ages ago but have been unable to run since
updating Windows, but when I looked on the box I saw 2 problems, the first
one is simple to overcome by downloading the Patch, the second is that the
game suppoesedly doesn't run on ATI Radson graphics cards. Is this correct
and if so is there a patch available anywhere to correct this? I would
really like to solve this query as I am a fan of TT and would like to start
using it again.
Many thanks

copies of this in PC World, but not recently. Note, if it is the dos

That is what I thought too.The Windows version of TTD uses DirectX, so should run on *any* recent

Re: TTD and ATI Radeon graphics cards
I have a radeon 9200SE and it runs fine, buy the gane (giving you a licence
to use it) then check out TTDpatch which will make the WINDOWS version run
on 2000 or XP the dos version will run on 95/98/ME get the patch from
http://www.ttdpatch.net and some TT links here http://w.webring.com/hub?ring=ttweb
also if this works it should get you the full game!
http://home.aland.net/toffe.eriksson/ttdx.win.rar you will A zip prog
capable of doing .rar archives for this ( I think winzip does them but not
sure) and the patch: http://home.aland.net/toffe.eriksson/ttdw_patch.zip
Best of luck.
