Bug 
Previously was playing on Win 11 with latest patches but without discrete graphics.
Now on another machine which has 1050ti discrete graphics and Windows 10 game can't properly start.
Client was redownloaded. Operating system is fresh&clean genuine version of Windows.
DirectX9 installed, Visual Studio 2010 also. I've even tried to start it with dgVoodoo2 config tool.
Both setup.exe and uaro.exe are in compatibility mode (win 7, tried also win xp) and under administrator privilege.
Tried different resolutions, disabled fog&lightmap, different adapters (HAL, Intel, clean voodoo).
Intel driver version is 31.0.101.2127, directdraw on, direct3D on, AGP also.
Game starts but no sound and after that it stop's responding.

Default Microsoft Antivirus, UAC disabled. Used RO.reg but feels like no difference.

It is very interest situation.
I use uaRO on win11 with radeon VII game edition & nv gt710 and dont have any problem.
We need to figure out your problem.

1. RO.reg needed for adds the necessary registry branches to run the game without admin privileges. This will only work if setup.exe is launched by the system itself without admin privileges (when the setup.exe icon does not have a blue shield).
Otherwise, it is better to use admin privileges. Other compatibility settings are unnecessary. My experience shows that they only make things worse.

2. I didn't understand about video cards. At the beginning you say that you are using nvidia 1050ti, then an unknown Intel video card appears?
I'm guessing that you are using a laptop or PC with a built-in Intel video chip and a discrete mobile/desktop nvidia 1050ti video card?
In our case, it is enough to install drivers from the video card manufacturer or from the video chip manufacturer.

3. I guess that the other machine is using Windows 10 x64?
In the example of launching uaRO in Windows 10 x64 in VirtualBox https://uaro.kiev.ua/forum/showthread.php?tid=5, I used pure Windows from the latest ISO downloaded from the Microsoft website. And I didn’t install anything - at all, no additional updates or libraries.

4. I don’t understand why you installed Visual Studio 2010. For uaRO this is not needed.

5. The UaRO client has a library that causes the game to display an error message. There is no error, which means that your problem is not directly related to the client's work.
I'm not sure, but if you have 2 video chips... in theory, it is possible that the game initially runs on a weak video chip, then Windows sees that the game is a 3D program and then Windows transfers the game to another video chip... this one Intel and Nvidia solved the problem 10 years ago, but the game client is much older... In theory, the problem is possible, but I don’t have a laptop with two video chips for testing. You can try disabling the Intel/NVIDIA video chip through the device manager.

6. I remembered that previously I could not start the game until I deleted dbghelp.dll from the game directory. But this problem went away after updating the video driver. you can rename it instead of deleting it

7. Very often, for video drivers to work correctly, you may need:
DotNet: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...-framework - I can’t decide which version to recommend.
Nvidia PhysX: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/phy...18-driver/ - read Note! Maybe it's worth looking at the older version first https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/phy...31-driver/

8. It is possible that Windows does not have enough runtime libraries (installing Visual Studio will not solve this problem). Only, they need to be installed from the old version to the new one in order and first x32 (x86), and then x64! And if you have already installed some, you need to delete them, otherwise the old version will not install!
You can use the following list for order - first download, install, and then the following:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
https://download.microsoft.com/download/...st_x86.EXE
https://download.microsoft.com/download/...st_x64.EXE

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
https://download.microsoft.com/download/...st_x86.exe
https://download.microsoft.com/download/...st_x64.exe

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable 10.0.40219
https://download.microsoft.com/download/...st_x86.exe
https://download.microsoft.com/download/...st_x64.exe

Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable 11.0.61030
https://download.microsoft.com/download/...st_x86.exe
https://download.microsoft.com/download/...st_x64.exe

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable
https://download.visualstudio.microsoft....st_x86.exe
https://download.visualstudio.microsoft....st_x64.exe

! I would be very grateful if you let me know what helped you and what didn’t. Better yet, keep us informed, maybe I or the admin will come up with another idea as you solve the problem.

Thumbs Up 
Figured it out. It was MSI SCM (starting controle module). 
It was messing up intel graphics driver dll and thus preventing 3dVoodoo from working in minimized or full-screen module.
Thanks for your advice&time. Keep it safe in Kyiv buddy.
