OK I am mystified, I can get the geoscape and everything up, but when i try and start a mission I crash to the desktop. I am using the current Xcom version off here, and I am doing it thru windows.
I am on windows XP, Ive got compatibility mode set to 95 and 256 colors with 640 resolution, which has done it in the past. GRR I love this game. :help: :help: :help: |

UFO defense comes up with the blurry screen, and UFO comes up with the slightly faster screen, but when it starts a battle, it crashes right out.

Did you remove the compatability stuff? I just upgraded my graphics card and I still have no trouble with having it run in Xp... an occassional boot out of the game yes, but not anything specific.

Ok I fixed the UFO defense problem. Its caused by DXdiag.exe.
Go to Run in the start menu, type DIAG.exe. Go to the DISPLAY tab, and select DIRECTDRAW DISABLED. That should get it done. But it still crashes when it enters the squad prep screen. |
