I'm really sorry if this has been posted before, but I used the search and didn't come up with anything.

I run XP, 1920x1200. I run the modified start, and the game does work - *until* I go into the tactical combat screen, when it promptly asplodes into tiny bits.

Anyone have a clue why this would be happening, or suggest an alternative?

Thanks tons,

Mouse

Sorry to add to the thread count here - but I wanted to let someone know that the possibility of the file being corrupted here on Abandonia. I redownloaded the file from HOTU, and it works fine now, no crashes in combat. It could also just have been a bad download as well. *shrug*

Just wanted to mention it. Thanks again.

Weird, very weird.

I got the game running.
Next day it wont run, screen wont stay in game, ufo keeps minimizing itself.

(I played some other games instead, and also read something about an archive catalog missing.
I add an archive catalog and it finally works for that evening. I doubt this catalogue actually did anything tho...)

Back home from work yesterday its doin the minimizing again.

Anyoneelse experienced this?
I start from ufo.exe (the other .exe file make screen garble) with win95 compatibility, 256 colors and 640x480 mode.

Sorry if this has already been covered in the previous 137 pages of posts, but has anyone gotten this game to run in DOSXbox? Yes, the xbox dosbox...

Sorry - bumping self...

Well, this version of the game was optimized to be run under windows, and, as far as I know, doesn't run in Dos.
So, you'd better try running it in WinXbox, if such a thing exists, I guess :P

EDIT: You got the same answer back then too. Did you think it would change? :blink:

Then best way to kill ethereals is with plasma weapons, specially the heavy one, they just don`t resist them, my recor was one year playing, but it was so hard to manage it that I bankrupted, remember, use plasma!

hey there!
i have a strange problem, when ever i want to transfer Stuff from on COM to another, payed and want to leave the screen, the game brakes.
I play the Windows Version. Compability (don´t know if this is the proper word, english is not my mothertongue)

I had that problem too, but I managed to solve it.
I guess you don't play the english version. The transfer-crash only appeared when I played in german. In the english version you can transfer everywhere you want. So just save your game, exit, start in english, transfer, save again, exit again and start in your prefered language again.

Oh well, I got hold of the Dos version and it works splendid in dosbox, got both sound and music and thanks to dosbox speed is variable (ie 5secs don't rush).

If it's allowed and anyone want it I can post the link here.

Question:
Motion scanners, do these fill any funktion? either the range is extremely short or I'm doin something wrong. (Atleast they're the most profitable item I can produce atm.)

Large UFO, I shot one down with 2x interceptors (one shot down) but these are a real pain to shoot down w/o interceptor upgrades.
Just pray and hope they land until I can beat em?

Motion Scanners can be used (SCAN) to display nearby movement. Great for hunting down those last remaining UFO crewmen.

Equip your Interceptors with twin Avalanche launchers, these should work until you get some better weapons. IIRC, up to three Interceptors can be attacking a target at once.

Actually up to four can be attacking a target at once
