why i cant use the 0.29.1 client on windows 7

.29.1 runs fine on my windows 7 system. When you want help please describe exactly what's wrong.

Moved to windows support.

PMFJI. I also have problems running TMW client on Win7 Home. The contents, including text and input boxes, are all messed up, while the frame is clearly legible. I am able to login in by trying to put the cursor in locations where I know should be the input box for username and password. However if I try to go to setup the screen is so messed up it doesn't even let me choose attributes such as screen resolution.

Any suggestions?

Sorry if this is slightly off-topic, since it's not only on windows users.

The 0.29.1. client is broken for GMs. You can log in but it crashes due to the send/receive packets on IP's info.

Regards.

Sounds like an OpenGL issue. Try with OpenGL disabled (tmw --disable-opengl).

That is different. And only affects GMs (account level 60+).

This problem usually occurs when you run tmw in opengl mode and don't have directX and/or proper drivers for your video card installed.

Install directX from the microsoft homepage and the most recent drivers provided by the chipset manufacturer of your video card (usually ati, nvidia or intel) and it should work.
