The first thing the Helpline staff will say is Read the Read Me, and fill out the template therein.

Help them to help you etc.

Sounds a bit graphicsy to me, so what gfx card you have may be useful, but whadddo I know? (Fill out the whole template so they know would be best though).

Have you make sure that you deleted the Allegiance folder completely before reinstalling Allegiance?

It may still be graphics? As the new R5 client uses a more up to date graphics engine than the older Alleg.
Suppose you could try getting the latest drivers for your Gfx card. possibly found here?

As this is a private GB forum now:

Could you play on the beta servers before?

I had the most updated drivers a lonnnnnnggg time ago. I can't even install what you got from that link

I reinstalled and now I'll just go step by step.

Newgamescreen.mdl is damaged mind if you fix it? YES or NO

I wouldn't be too sure about this - I thought I had the latest DirectX too when I was testing R5 before deploying it.
Then I found out that Microsoft abandoned any attempt at logic when updating DirectX over the last few years.

The latest version is 9.0c, and that version number hasn't changed in years despite the numerous patches that have been released. This means that one person's 9.0c may be newer than another person's 9.0c.
... you'd think they would have incremented the version number, or at least that letter!

Anyways.

Even if you believe you have the latest DirectX, I recommend you download the DirectX installer from Microsoft and run it.
It can't hurt! (er, at least it shouldn't )
