Wasn't this the Windows version ? (thus not needing DOSBox)

That's the confusion...

I think it's supposed to be the DOS version, but no one seems to be able to run it in DOS. I'm looking for the DOS version so I can play it on Xbox on my bigscreen (the PlayStation version is just way to buggy).

every time i run this game i go to a downed ufo the game crshis :cry: :help:

I am having trouble with running UFO Defense in Windows 2000. The error is exactly the same as what someone posted on page 3 of this thread. Here's what he/she said:

Hey guys, I need some help. I downloaded the game a couple of hours ago, unzipped it and got ready to play. I set up base and waited for UFo's, and one finally came along. I intercepted it, and then flew my crew over to check out the wreck, but when I clicked "OK" to start the mission, the game crashed, and I went back to windows.

I would really like to play this game, what can I do?

Tom Henrik replied with:

This could be due to programs running in the background. I would suggest you close such programs when playing the game.

Or you could just save often. 8)

I tried that, but the background programs make no difference. I was wondering if I must end every task in Windows 2000. That's probably not a wise thing to do. ;) Also, saving my game often doesn't help at all because when the game crashes when I click "OK" to start the mission, it doesn't remember previous saved games. I save a game, then start a mission, then it crashes, then I start the game over, and my saved game is gone. I haven't found any way around this. Does anyone have any tips or anything? I've never played anything but the demo of this game and from now seeing the base-building and ufo-investigating part on the globe map, I can guess that this must be an incredibly awesome game. It has definitely piqued my interest far more than any of the past 2,000 throw-away games I've downloaded from all over the net.

Again, any help would be extremely appreciated! :D

Ha, I didn't notice but the person who posted right before me is having the same problem.

Hmm...

Would it help if I said I have the same problem periodicly?
If you haven't already, you might want to simply try again :)

I had this problem as well, if you check your ufo folder there should be a bunch of folders labled GAME_1, GAME_2 ..... GAME_10. If you dont have these folders then create these 10 folders as these are the save games. Then try playing again.

If it still crashes in battles you can try downloading UFO:Gold from Home of the Underdogs (exactly the same except it seems to work better for some, but be warned, extremly slow download rate)

Click me-->> :bye: HOTU :bye: <<--Click me

I have the same problem, and where's underdogs?

My problem now is that My game is running too fast :blink: !

I remember that there were help for this kind of problem somewhere, but hell, theres so many pages!

So if anyone could give an advice? Im not sure but it was some kind of patch which cleared the problem? :bye:

Btw, If some1 is about to ask me to use Turbo, i've already tried it.

When in battle select the "?" button and set the speed.
