FAQ: I cannot start the game. Computer freezes up or crashes.

[Andreas Raht]

Please check first that you have DirectX installed. DirectX9 is recommended. You'll get it at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/

If your game runs with DirectX8.1, it's OK, but if not, install the latest version please.

The second possible solution is to start the game without using the Direct3D hardware mode. You can do this by using the icon named "Start TB without 3D hardware". The first setup version released on Monday didn't install the icons. But we've uploaded a new setup file which installs the icons correctly.
It's no big problem to generate the icon by yourself if you're an experienced computer user. This will save you the download time. Here is what to do:

First create a link to the tb1.exe file. Find the tb1.exe in the TB program folder, which is usually C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\Title Bout Championship Boxing\

Right click on the file, choose "Copy", minimize all windows, right click on the desktop, and choose "Create Link".
Then right click on the link, choose "Properties", and bring the cursor into the text box whcih contains the command line (Target). Go to the end of the line and add the code nod3d.

Then it should like like this:

"C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\Title Bout Championship Boxing\TB1.exe" nod3d

Close and save it, and start TB with a double click on the link.

The game will have no transparency effects, and the graphics will probably be slow. If this helped you to start the game, and you want to be able to start it in full hardware-supported D3D mode, you will need another graphic adapter, or probably just an updated driver for your adapter.
