ok, I am on WinXP, I have an ATI Radeon 9800 pro (128MB), I just five minutes ago (literaly) updated my graphic driver, I have every dll in that list in the read me, and I installed the version of direct x the readme pointed me to, when I try to run the program I will get a splash screen, I'm asked to pick a directory, I get the dialog for selecting which cities are protected or not, (I unprotect all, blank reigon) I hit ok and... ... ... ... ... ... ... nothing happens, it doesn't even crash, it just hangs in memory not useing any CPU not changeing it's memory useage untill I kill it manualy. if I run the debug build the last thing the console window will say (in addition to MANY other things) is "can't create directx" and it will sit there too untill I close it. as I mentioned earlier, I installed the version of direct x the readme linked me to, so, I don't know what could be the problem. I get no error log. it's unfortunate the source code for this is unavailable or I could have tried to debug it myself (though most of my experience was with DX8 a couple of years ago). anyway, I figured you'd want to know. BTW do you have any references to the file formats involved? I've got half a bug to make a simple comand line converter app for myself.
