X-com 1 - Way Too Fast!

[The NHL Rant]

Hi there everyone!

I just found myself the windows copy (gold edition) of X-Com: UFO Defence. I got it to work on my Windows XP by decreasing the hardware acceleration - however there is still one very annoying problem...

In battle mode - the scrolling, the fire movement, and everything in general is running at near light speed! Even if I set everything to 1 it's still too fast to control. :wallbash:

Is there any way I can get around this? Some way to drastically slow down game speed?

Anyone willing to help a gamer-girl out? :D

Thanks guys! :ok:

Download the dosbox. You can slow down games with it.

[_r.u.s.s.]

or get program slowing your processor down, like slowdown (http://www.hpaa.com/moslo/)

You could also try vdmsound, it works fine with X-com

And if none of the above work (which i doubt) try using compatibility mode... if that doesn't work either, start the game, alt + tab to desktop, press ctrl + alt + del, goto the processes tab, r-click the .exe and select the highest priority mode. i know it sounds awkward but it actually slows down the clocking speed of your cpu. xp is a strange thing. hope it helps.
