Hey there,

I'm running the windows version of X-Com Ufo Defense, and it seems to have developed a knack for crashing on me, especially when I want to start a mission. Any help?

Hi:

Maybe admins could upload COllector's Edition in exchange of these Dos versions, people would have less problems with them as they come prepared to windows.
I think it would be a good idea, bye.

good hunting

Hi:
right click on the exe file and go to compatibility tab, choose Win 95/Win 98 compatibility and maybe you can check other options such as running under 640x480 or under 256 colors. You can try it, and also save often. Hope it helps. Bye

The game breaks a lot. It doesn't matter what you are trying to use, it will not work. Sorry, but that's just a fact of life with this game.

Go download the patch here. It fixed all my crashing problems. It also adds a few features; such as the ability to have your engineers manufacture and auto-sell an item until you tell them to stop.

No, the game just crashes sometimes. It's a bit annoying like that and since this is a hard-drive install not a CD install, there is not point re-installing it at all.
