Hi,  
I used to play roguelikes, and when I saw Cataclysm: DDA I fell in love. I download both versions (for Windows): graphical and console based. I started playing graphical but… it closed when I ran it! The console version runs perfectly and the graphical versions of another roguelikes like Dungeon Crawler runs perfecly too! Please I want to play graphical version!

Try turning software rendering on and then restarting the program.

If you can’t access the options from inside the game [sub]( soz Rivet he wasn’t clear about that part \>.\> )[/sub]

You may create/edit the config file located in \gameroot\config\options.txt
