I downloaded yesterday, and I haven't got it running.
Windows Vista 64 bit, Nvidea 8400 video card.
My first download was version 1.2.3 (apparently I got in just before upgrade.) I asked for a local game (not having set up an account) The game start screen appeared OK (this one time.) When I pressed 'J' to join and 'A' for A.I.s, nothing happened on the game screen - I only know something was supposed to because I later watched the instructional video. I do get messages like "Winston Pettygrew-Smythe joined the game in slot 1", "Added computer player <A.L.A.N.>" in the frame when I press J and A.
On all subsequent attempts, the main game screen simply doesn't appear: The frame around the screen is fine (e.g. I can enter chat messages) but where the game should appear is a hole: I can see other windows throught it, it is completely transparent. (THis is after 'new game' from lobby. Everything up to this point seems fine.)
On one of the attempts to play, it prompted me to download version 1.2.4, which I have done. I have installed the latest video driver, and the latest Java, it makes no difference. Nor does it make a difference if I play with
www.planetmule.com as the host. (All games I've attempted have been training games.)
I do have another (A.T.I.) video card I could try if it seems likely to help - I'm using the slower-but-not-flakey card at the moment.
Here's a log from an attempt to play the game (I 'disconnect'ed to terminate the game.)
