I'm having some trouble with the dos version of x-com running under
dosbox. The game runs a little laggy. When I'm on the geoscape and I
right-click to rotate it, there's a half second lag before it actually
rotates the globe. Also, during combat, my cursor lags and I end up
shooting the wrong things / moving people instead of selecting them /
other stupid things. The slowdown is really irritating. I would play the windows version of UFO defense, but I have two gripes about it:
1. AWFUL MIDI music compared to the awesome dos version's music (is there a fix for this? please say yes)
2. STUPID CRASHING PROBLEMS ON A TERROR MISSION! Magically the game just crashes as soon as I land. WTF?
As a solution, I'm trying to get the dos version of X-com to run under
windows XP without using dosbox. Do you know any way to fix the
stupid lag, or perhaps to get X-com running under xp?
I also have a question about the game itself. What item do you
reccomend manufacturing and selling for profits? I've found a nice
profit margin in medikits and motion scanners. What do you do
usually?
Thanks for the time.
