Map Editor doesn't work

Hello there! So I recently downloaded the lastest DTA build, I was trying to create some maps and I tried to start the map editor but doesn't work, says that TibSun.mix is missing. There is a way to fix it?

Open the "Map Editor" folder, delete FinalSun.ini and then run DTA.exe to let it create a new FinalSun.ini file for you. Now run the map editor again and it should work.

Well looks like the issue is more complex than I thought, I did what you recommended Commander but still has the same issue, also when I start a new game to play the screen is fully black you can't see the map, the units, nothing... I have Windows 7 64bit... Is that the problem?

To fix the map editor, try deleting the whole "Map Editor" folder itself, as well as the file called "version" (with no extension). The client will now offer an update when you start it and when it finishes it'll have re-downloaded the Map Editor folder, so see if it works then.

As for the game itself: you can't see the sidebar either, right? Try out the different renderers and see if any of them work. For some renderers it also makes a difference whether you enabled windowed mode or not and since you're on Windows 7 it's best to leave the compatibility fix disabled because it shouldn't be necessary (although you could still try enabling it if every single renderer somehow does fail).

What graphics card are you using by the way?
