thing is....i did download it from here :D

but when i restarted my pc, it worked again, until 5 minutes ago. it will probably work again when i restart my pc again.

I have to say that I honestly don't understand why it is so! I played many strategic game, including this game, but I don't understand why this game has a such attraction. The main part of game is about beating aliens and you have to do many battle and all of them similar and each takes 5-10 minutes. I remeber those old days I was playing CIV or master of orion and I can not tell you how much those games captured my mind, during day and night. This game is nice but I just can not replay it many times, perhaps because the structure is very similar. Perhaps it is matter of taste too. Well just let me know what is so exciting in this game? Maybe I missed something!

It is a fun and complex game. So there is a lot of praise to it and questions. And the game has been on this site as long as the forums have.

Hi.

I got a Problem with the Windows Version I downloaded here...
It crashes very often, and it crashes ALWAYS when I am at Transfer Window and klick at Abort, so the game is not useable anymore with 10 crashes in 1 hour, have anyone Ideas what the problem could be ?!

Greetings

Shadow

Hi Shadow,
This is a new bug(the crash inside the trasfer window), can u add under wich SO are u running the game and if u are using Dos Box or similar, the version? By the way, about crashes, the game didn´t crash randomly. It always fails at the same pont, for example it can fail in the X turn of a mission. To avoid mission crashes load before the start of the mission so it goes rebuilded and no crashes will affect it. Crashes outside missions are less common but not impossible, so load inside the last mission or restart the game :( :cry: There isn´t another solution. Anyway the game didn´t crash too much, it shouldn´t happens more that once a month. I don´t know another solution that use save slots as backup

Whoaaaa this is one BIG topic :D

Appropriate for such masterful game :)

NEways, when I played it for the first time somewhere in '96-'97 on my 386, I've tried to do something which brought me to something totally different :))

The thing is, I've played civ1 a lot then, and in civilisation 1, when you press ctrl+(1-9) you get the special symbols (coin, man, etc)...
SO
Being a kid with nothing better to do, I've tried to enter CTRL+3 (or 2, I cannot remember) into the savegame name during a battle in UFO, and a strange thing happened...

...the mission ended, with the results of a previous mission! :D :D :D

So, I figured out I can use that glitch to my advantage:
-Finish the mission with, say, 150 elerium loot
-Intercept and down a small or large scout
-Start battle, do CTRL+number trick
-Get 150 elerium! YAY! :D
-goto 10 :)

I dunno if anyone has already found this trick, i cannot read the 150 something pages in two months time :)

...Hope it helps!

cheater! :not_ok:

I've heard about that cheat/error before, but then people were saying ctrl+c was the combination. Never put it to the test though.

Oh come on! Managing the Elierium is one of the only challenging elements to the geoscape mode! Dont take all the fun out of it.

Cheat dowsn't work at all!
CHEERS :cheers:
